Hey there,

I understand everyone has their opinions, and we are all entitled to those opinions. You could be critiquing my social media, discussing my actions with your groups of friends, or nitpicking at the details of my life. Hell, I do it too, but has it ever occurred to you that maybe (just maybe) you have no damn idea what you are talking about? Pardon my French, but seriously. I just simply cannot understand how you can sit back and deliberately inspect my life piece by piece without knowing squat about me. So, I thought, how about you and I have a little talk.

Now, you see, I'm actually not that bad. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely suck sometimes, but not as bad as you make it out to seem. Let's start out with my choices. You can discuss the choices I make in life all you want because guess what... they aren't your choices to make! I do not give a rat's behind if the choice was a good or bad one. It is none of your business! Shocker, I know, but it's true. We all mess up in life. We all make questionable choices. We all make mistakes. Deal with it, move on, and oh, I don't know maybe focus on you own choices.

Okay, next. We can move onto your lovely critiques about my personality now. Everyone is different! Literally, there is not a single person who is the same as you. Do you want to know why? Well, I mean part of it has to do with our genetic makeup, but we all have different personalities! Amazing, right? Every single person on this planet expresses themselves differently. Whether I am loud, quiet, narcissistic, kind, dramatic, or all of the above; nobody else is like me. I don't know about you, but I love that. So, let me be me and you can be you. Sound like a plan? Perfect.

We still have more to talk about though, like you judging my appearance. Let's all take a brief moment to refer to the above paragraph where I mentioned how we al have different genetics. Ok, cool, so in addition to that literally everyone has things they don't like about themselves. It could be your thighs, nose, tummy, teeth, hair, exedra. We all have those insecurities, so get over it. Nobody is perfect, besides maybe Jennifer Aniston, but even she got a nose job! Nobodies bodies will ever be 100% perfect to themselves, so stop nitpicking everyone else insecurities and think about how it'd feel if I was doing that to you.

With all of this being said, you must understand that you and I will not lead the same lives. Every individual person's lives will be made up of a series of events which will influence everything that they are. So, respectfully, if you want to judge who I am then you have to know why I am the way I am first.

Glad we had this talk.

From,

Your favorite thing to talk about

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.
