To The Girls Who Can Do Both

Surprisingly Low Maintenance (Sometimes)

To The Girls Who Can Do Both
The Darling Detail

Sometimes I can’t be bothered to change out of my pajamas all day. Sometimes I live on fast food for days at a time (and loving every fried minute of it). Sometimes makeup seems like the biggest waste of time. Why bother with nail polish (I’ll get too impatient to let it dry, end up messing it up, and peeling all of it off)? My laundry pile is as tall as I am. I’m a fan of making weird (and I mean weird) faces and dancing in the aisles of the grocery store. The trendiest I’ll ever be is wearing shirts that are so oversized, it looks like I don’t have shorts on underneath (but I totally do). My ideal Friday night is hanging with the fam.

But that’s not always how it is.

Other times, I could spend hours watching makeup tutorials online. Other times, I’ll try on random outfits in my room just for fun. Other times, doing my hair boosts my confidence a good ten points (fifteen points if I actually do a good job). Other times, I’d pick skinny jeans over sweat pants. Other times, I’m taking pictures specifically for Instagram and editing them to my liking. Other times, I’ll be out all day with friends, laughing obnoxiously loud (and annoying people around us). I could easily do some major damage at the mall in a few short hours. I’m not ashamed to say Starbucks is my beverage destination of choice (and yes I do enjoy a nice PSL). I relate to Clueless on a spiritual level.

Sometimes I literally don’t care, and other times I want you to applaud how even my eyeliner is. It’s confusing to be me sometimes I guess.

I kinda like it though.

So here’s to the girls who are an absolute mess half of the time and Elle Woods the rest of the time. The girls who feel just as confident running to class with their wet hair in a bun as they do in a dress.

I mean “get you a girl that can do both”, right?

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.
