And why you should like her too.

I don't mind being that girl who tells it like it is, and isn't afraid to speak her mind. I know I'd rather hear it like it is than have people beating around the bush to tell me things. I have a filter, but I'm not afraid to say exactly how I feel in the moment and let others know if I have a problem with them. I like being the blunt girl because I never feel like I'm hiding anything or lying. If I have an issue with someone you can be sure I say something the moment something bothers me. If someone asks me a question they know they can have my sometimes brutally honest opinion in the matter because that's what I believe in. I believe in being brutally honest sometimes when it comes to things and saying exactly what is on my mind. I like being the blunt girl.

To some people, it may come across as being mean, or rude, or inconsiderate when I speak my mind, but honestly, I'm just being honest. People often mistake my brutal honesty for just being mean, when really they know I'm right anyway - I am just usually the only one to admit it. People often need my bluntness in their life because, without me, they would just be getting silly advice and hearing things they want to hear from their "fake" friends. Me? I'm a real friend, and I don't tell people what they want to hear, I tell them what they need to hear, because, in the long run, that is what is going to be best for them. I care enough to not sugar coat anything so they know exactly how I feel.

Being blunt has helped me with confronting people who have done me wrong, or anything like that. I don't like being pushed around and the moment someone does something to me that I don't appreciate, you can bet that I will call them out on it, straight to their face, straight to the point. People are surprised by my confrontations because it isn't as common now that we can just text someone about our problems, rather than having a conversation face to face. So when I confront somebody, they take what I have to say seriously, because it was that important for me to want to come talk face to face and tell them exactly how I feel.

I'm that blunt girl that isn't afraid to tell you when you have pepper in your teeth, toothpaste on your face, or a dirt mark on your butt, and I'll probably say it in front of other people because that's just how I am. I like being the blunt girl because you know there is never any BS with me. I'm not fake. If I don't like you, you know. And to go along with that, people either love me, or they don't. I'm not being mean, I'm just speaking my mind, and what I say you may not like and agree with, but I'm going to say it anyway.

Do me a favor and be friends with the blunt girl. She'll never lie to you, she'll tell you when you're making a bad decision, and she'll tell you when you're being annoying. Be friends with the blunt girl because you'll never have to worry about asking "Does this outfit make me look fat" and her responding with "no" even though something else would probably be more flattering. The blunt girl would tell you to change into something else.

Basically, I like being blunt and although that type of personality is an acquired taste, people know I'm real and will always speak the truth.

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.
