9 Reasons I Love Dogs More Than People
Brittni Garcia

People can hurt you, use you, ignore you, leave you, and a million other things that tear your heart up inside, but dogs will never do anything to hurt you in any way. Dogs just want our love and attention, and honestly, they're so easy to entertain and love. They just look up at you like you're the greatest thing in the world, because to them, you are! So here are a few reasons why I prefer my dog babies over actual human beings:

1. They never judge you.

Whenever I am being weird, stuffing my face with food, walking around the house without pants on, or just looking rough as hell, my dog never judges me. In fact, most of the time, my dog is right beside me just letting me do my thing.She even encourages me to stuff my face, because she knows I can't avoid her puppy dog stare, so when I eat, she gets a little something too.

2. They are great listeners

People get tired of listening to you rant about the same things over and over again, but dogs don't! They just sit there and listen to you rant on and on, and they'll tilt their head to the side as if saying “No way! She did that?” Or their ears will stand up or flop over like “And then what happened?” But no matter what, they are there for you when you need someone to talk to.

3. They know when you're upset

It's almost as if they have some sort of sad monitor inside of them, and whenever you're down, it goes off and they're right beside you giving you cuddles and kisses and just trying to make you feel better. They always know how to make you feel better, whereas with people, they sometimes just don't want to deal with you when you're upset.

4. They are always ready to party

Dogs are so easily hyped up! You get up and start dancing and call them over and they're right there with you trying to have just as much fun as you are! Just talking to them in a higher voice than usual gets them excited.

5. They will never leave you

Dogs are so loyal and you never have to worry about them getting tired of you and leaving because it'll never happen. You are their home, and they don't want to leave you.

6. They miss you when you leave

They get upset when we leave them, even if it's just for an hour. But when we come back, it's like we've been gone for days with the excited reaction they give us!

7. They will never hurt you

Dogs will never hurt us. They are incapable of hurting us because when we hurt, they hurt.

8. They don't mind your endless selfies

At least I don't think they do! They might get annoyed, but they'll still pose or lick your face or smile for the camera when you're wanting more pics.

9. They will always love you

Dogs' love for us is the purest form of love you will ever receive in your life. They may not be our forever, but we are their forever. They love us so unconditionally and so much. It's no wonder they earned the nickname as “Man’s (and Woman’s) best friend.” Because everything they do for or with us is always out of love for us.

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.
