If You 'Favorite' Instead Of Retweet, You're A Snake

I'm putting my foot down. The imbalanced favorite-to-retweet ratio has to stop.

If You 'Favorite' Instead Of Retweet, You're A Snake

This is a public service announcement for those of you on Twitter who strictly favorite tweets and retweet something basically once a month.

First of all, you are a snake.

Who do you think you are to have to throw favorites around like a mad person but carefully curate your retweets when you haven’t made a tweet of your own since 2017. Your friends are out here spitting fire and you have the audacity to ignore its potential? You know when you finally get around to tweeting something that you would want them to throw you an RT. Come on, we are all out here trying to be the next yodel boy. That kid achieved all his dreams in a month and he hasn’t started high school yet!

When you favorite a tweet you are giving the equivalent to that pity chuckle you do when your friend says something kind of funny but you honestly weren’t really listening. You know exactly what I am talking about.

We can all agree that there is nothing worse thing than looking at one of your fire tweets and seeing 17 favorites and what’s that? Oh, it's two retweets. It doesn’t matter how many favorites that tweet gets, it moves down the Twitter feed slowly until it drifts into irrelevancy and can only be found by scroll stalking a profile page.

Twitter favorites are where tweets go to die.

Favorites are honestly just disrespectful.

If you are blessed with a friend who has a sense of humor and puts something out on twitter that is genuinely funny, don’t disrespect them. Retweet to save a life.

In all seriousness, though it could make someone’s day, favorites are like nothing now. They’re like pennies. Show some more love on Twitter, after all it's just Twitter no one cares.

If you want to start showing love now my handle is @HughstonTexas and I think I’m pretty funny.

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.
