To Girls With Curly Hair

To all you girls with curly hair: I feel your pain! The way to describe our crazy curls is most simply: a struggle. We will never know what it is like to wake up in the morning and be able to walk out the door. We will never know the satisfaction of running our fingers through our hair. What we will know is what is like to get complimented on our hair and then listen to a long story about how they wished they had our hair. Don't get me wrong, I think curls are beautiful, but sometime we need a break. This is for all you girls that know the continued struggle of seriously curly hair.

1. You Wake Up In The Morning To Something That Cannot Be Identified As Hair But Rather As A Ball Of Frizz.

The unfortunate truth comes out.

2. People Compliment You, Because They Think It Is Beautiful, But Little Do They Know The Ugly Truth.

Thank you! You do not understand the measures it took to get to this point.

3. People Always Ask You Why You Don't Leave Your Hair Down Naturally.

Girls with curly hair do not have that privilege.

4. People Also Tell You How Much They Want To Straighten Your Hair, But You Should Only Let Them Do This If They Are Your Worst Enemy.

Do you have 3 hours to spare?

5. You Hear This Quite Often: "I Wish I Had Your Hair. You Are So Lucky."

It is not as fun as it looks. It may look full of energy, but my arm after brushing it sure does "knot."

6. You Also Hear This: "Is That Your Natural Hair?"

Girl, do you think I would try to make my hair look like this?

7. Wanting To Throw Your Hair Up Into A PonyTail, But Knowing That It Won't Work Out As Planned.

Who knew finding a hair style for sport's practice would be so difficult.

8. Girls With One Wave In Their Hair Consider Themselves Curly Headed, And All You Can Do is Laugh.

You don't even know the half of it!

9. Your Hair Is Impossible To Brush When It Is Dry.

This is not possible in any way, shape or form.

10. You Know You Will Go Through At Least A Bottle Of HairSpray A Week.

*wonders how many living things I'm killing with this aerosol can*

11. You Secretly Love It.


At the end of the day you look at your curls and think, "wow maybe I am lucky!" Each curl makes us perfectly unique.

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.
