We dont want to hear it
Crave TV

Many of us growing up have been making a mental note of things we just do not like to hear. weather it be about us, our friends, our family, or even something we enjoy doing. We all know deep down what these things are, but I think the biggest thing is, we don't vocalize it when others say it. A few of the main things people say, that really grind my gears are as followed:

1. "Wow (insert food you are about to consume) is so gross."
Thanks, ya know I was going to eat it but now, now I'm going to throw it in the trash.

2. " That's not very ladylike"
That's nice, but I don't care. Maybe I don't want to be lady like.

3. "You should go to church more"
Yeah and you should too because you have too much time on your hands to tell me to go.

4. *while yelling across store* "What size are you again?"
I'm no size, I will just get it myself thank you. I didn't need the whole store to know what size I am.

5. "Are you wearing that again?"
Yes I am wearing it again, I have a washer and dryer and I enjoy it so YES MOM I AM GOING TO WEAR IT AGIAN.

6. " Is that a good choice?"
No probably not, but sometimes its the not so good choices that make life interesting

7. "You should really drink decaf"
Yeah should I? Well unless you want me to be antisocial I think Ill get regular

8."I've had it worse"
Well I'm sorry you perceive it that way but everyone reacts/responds differently to things, so unfortunately, I don't now about that.

9."Wow, *(insert Ex's name here)* has really upgraded."
Thank you, thank you so much for bringing up that irrelevant individual up and telling how great their life is going compared to mine.

10." Before I met you I thought you were really mean"
This has to be one of my favorites. Like wow thank you, I am so glad you thought I was mean and I was able tp alter your opinion on me.

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.
