Why I'm Okay Being The Crazy Cat Lady
Esperanza Vidot

Many of my friends know that I have a really awesome cat. His name is Boo Cat, he’s five years old, and he’s hilarious, sweet, and purrrrrfect. I talk about him as much as my friends talk about their children, and everything he does amazes me.

Do I sound like a crazy cat lady yet?

He sleeps on my head, he’s as fluffy as a cloud, and is always excited to see me when I come home. I have a cat tattoo on my side and I buy him a present with every paycheck.

Most of my friends think I’m obsessed, and they’re kind of right. He’s my little buddy and my sidekick. I have never come home and not been greeted. I haven’t slept alone in the past five years. I can’t do laundry without a cat trying to crawl in my pile of clothes. I probably wear as much cat hair as I do my own!

And you know what? I don’t care if that makes me a crazy cat lady. I have a constant companion, a cute little guy to show my friends when they come over, and a little dude that thinks I am the most amazing person in the world.

I might sound crazy, but I’m happy. Are you?

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.
