Thanks For The Shoutout, But I'll Trade International Women's Day For Equal Pay ANY Day

Happy International Women's Day! I think we can all agree by now that women have earned their right for equal pay while simultaneously maintaining the surviving existence of humanity. Women have exhibited single-parenting mastery by conducting themselves as financially independent.

Cheers to women all over the world! You all have co-created the most powerful movement of humanity that our beings have witnessed in thousands of years both spiritually and physically. As a woman, it brings me great joy to know that I have the ability to create by any means possible and to have an International Women's Day to verify our special talents is more than appreciated.

But equal pay would be far more appreciated because we don't need your recognition — just your respect.

Women have earned degrees in every field of expertise, is it too much to ask for proper compensation in those fields? Maybe it was misunderstood that women need to be put on a pedestal more than being respected or maybe there has been a misunderstanding on what respect means.

As a woman, I would love to clear things up for the so-called patriarchy. To be the guardian of humanity requires respect and equity. We are a vital asset. You are either with us or against us. As a CEO, you wouldn't want to jeopardize your most prized asset that keeps your company afloat, would you? Disrespect is the biggest jeopardizing weapon. Send out those bonuses and let women's successes be valued.

We no longer want recognition, just your respect.

We don't need to be put on a pedestal. We would like to keep our figures to ourselves.

We don't need protection, we got our own safe with a passcode.

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.
