It's just my face, I swear.

RBF, or resting b*tch face, is a serious condition that many people suffer from worldwide. Suffers are often bombarded with daily questions such as "Are you OK?" and "Why are you so mad?" If you have RBF, you've probably had numerous people tell you to "just smile!"

While this question trend can get annoying, there are a couple of pros to having RBF.

For example, you are never stopped by people in the mall trying to sell you stuff, and it's secretly fun to hear that someone was a little intimidated by you when you first met.

That being said, the downside is that people always think you hate them and social events are tragic because you always looked pissed off or bored. In the end, no matter how extreme your RBF is, you probably encounter/have encountered a handful of these 11 situations.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

But the whole time you talked to them you tried really hard to seem happy and friendly and genuinely thought you pulled it off.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

And you can't help but roll your eyes, which probably doesn't help your case.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

Not like you haven't heard that before. It's expected and doesn't even come as a surprise anymore.

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

You smiling 24/7 is way worse than your mean face. Trust me.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

You gave up on trying to convince everyone that it's just your face!

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

Whoops. Better go send them an apology text.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

Probably because your face doesn't really signal that you're joking, but you've learned to make it clear you're just kidding by laughing obnoxiously.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

And you think, "maybe that's why people don't talk to me..."

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

It's a cold world out there for people with RBF.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

*shudders*

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

"I can't repeat it enough that it is just my face."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
