Tough Girls Have Feelings Too

And no, we do not want to talk about them.

Tough Girls Have Feelings Too

I like to think of myself as pretty tough. I never typically like to show any more emotion than the typical ones. You will know when I am happy and you will definitely know when I am mad, but it is a little more questionable to tell with all my other emotions. I have no problem telling someone when I am mad, but all the other feelings I do not wish to talk about LIKE EVER. That is just how I am. I know I am not the only girl like this who does not cry watching The Titanic or talk about her emotions literally 24/7. I just know so many more ways I would rather spend my time than talking about my feelings and being bothered by them. Since I am probably not the only girl like this, I wanted to inform everyone that tough girls have feelings too. We just handle them a heck of a lot different than everyone else and avoid ugly Kim K crying as much as possible.

Sure, we may not talk about them all the time. You may have to pull our emotions out of us when we are upset, but we do have them. We just do not like showing them. So do not make us think we have to cry watching The Titanic, and do not make us feel like it is weird that we do not talk about our feelings anytime something happens. Sometimes we cry at weddings and only sometimes, but that is usually due to alcohol consumption. It is okay to not cry, that is totally normal too. When we are upset and if it is important to us, we will be sure to tell you. But we would rather not waste our time crying unnecessary tears or talking about some boy who did us wrong because we know he is a fool for doing it. Just know that we have them and we will talk about them when we want to.

Also for all you girls out there who hate showing emotion, it is okay. It is okay to not be a "normal girl" and not talk about your feelings every second, but just know it is also okay to talk about your feelings when necessary. We all have different ways of going about our emotions, but one thing is for sure we all have feelings, unfortunately.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
