Why Everyone Should Experience The Love Of A Pet

I believe that everyone should get the chance to own, take care of, and ultimately love a pet that loves them back because pets are an important part of life. Whether you own a tiny fish or a larger-than-life horse, pets teach responsibility, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Most stick to cats and dogs, but no matter what pet you choose, the bond is unbreakable, and it is an experience that cannot be replaced.

They are loyal.

People come and go, but your pet will always stick by you. They don’t care if you make mistakes or if you're in a bad mood, they’ll be there waiting to greet you when you get home every day.

They listen to all your problems.

Pets are great listeners. You can tell them anything and they’ll keep it a secret. Sometimes, they might even bark or meow back!

They are great stress relievers.

Petting a cat or dog can actually lower your blood pressure, making you less stressed! Plus, it feels great on the pet's end, so it's a win-win for everyone.

They are downright adorable.

Look at that face. You can't say no to that face!

They love to show their affection.

Cats and dogs won't hold back from purring or panting when they're happy. When they're having a good time, you'll know it!

They won't judge you.

Pets don't care what you look like, their only concern is if there's food in their bowl or they've taken enough naps.

They are lifelong friends.

If you're lucky, you'll get to grow up with your pet and see them turn into adults as they do the same for you. You wouldn't be who you are today without them.

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.
