When You're Obsessed With Horror

Those of you who also who feel strongly about the phrase, "Everyday is Halloween"... will be nodding your heads continuously as you read through this. There are some things we can just all agree to disagree on, but having a love for horror isn't one of them. When you're obsessed, you're obsessed.

And for starters, your closet probably has a lot of black in it.

Let's be honest, there isn't anything wrong with that. You can look just as cute in your black tights as miss, "On Wednesdays We Wear Pink." In fact, you'll probably rock double the outfits she can and with mysterious class might I add.

When it's that time of year again, the best time, and you are headed into a haunted house...the sound of "scary" music or chainsaws, which would throw most through a panic attack, just amps you up even more than you already were before.

When people talk about visiting new places or cities to see all the beauty and your first thought is, "I wonder if there are any documented haunted locations to check out."

When you think of home decor and this comes to mind, "Yes, that is 'American Horror Story' font." Yes, that is a real thing, and yes, I wouldn't say no to a new home warming present.

When someone asks what movie you want to watch, you just kind of grimace because you know that nobody else in the room will probably be down for what you actually want.

You spend way too much time researching theories and ghost sightings.

You have a hard time picking sides.

But we all know you have a favorite.

Every time someone at a party asks, "Want to play a game?" You think...

You truly take an interest in details of horror films. You have favorites and dislikes, but you appreciate every piece of them from plot to the makeup artistry.

When most people think of relaxing settings, they think of sunshine and meadows of flowers, but you think...

You have a hard time explaining your obsession to people who just don't understand.

You hope one day you get the coolest parent award for throwing fun Halloween parties, since none of the other parents will probably volunteer, and you're the expert anyways.

What you find cute, some or most people would find disturbing.

You know you shouldn't have a crush on him, but you do anyways.

There is one event you go crazy for every year: Halloween Horror Nights.

You find odd amounts of humor in scaring the living hell out of your friends.

What a date night for you consists of...

You love the idea of being in a cemetery at night. Candles are your lighting of choice. Red and dark lipstick shades only. Some people ask for cute scarves or jewelry for their birthday, you ask for an actual horror story.

You have an exact plan of what you would do if "The Purge" actually happened someday.

Normal just isn't your thing.

Wondering when these will be real life.


"Chiller TV" is your jam.

When watching "Rocky Horror Picture Show," you are obligated to sing every single word at the top of your lungs.

You remember watching "Scream" for the first time vividly, and now when you bring that moment into someone else's life, you feel just as glorious.

You somehow find this bookend to be a need in your life.

Oh and definitely this bowl.

You sometimes find your nightmares to be intriguing though terrifying, and then sit for hours thinking up a master plan about how it could lead you to introducing the next greatest horror film. People think you are crazy, and you probably are a bit. Like I said, you take Halloween very very seriously. Wednesday Addams is practically your other half, alter ego, whatever you want to call it. Maybe you are more of a Morticia Addams, but nonetheless, you kill it.

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.
