No Matter How Hard You Try, You Will Never Get To Me

Your unhappiness won't affect me.

No Matter How Hard You Try, You Will Never Get To Me

I'm happy, and you're not.

That's what you have made me realize.

I often wonder why some people continuously try to irk certain people with their petty actions. What do you have against me? Is it a boy? A girl? A friend? Whatever it is, your actions will never be enough to get to me. You can act like a kind person who would never hurt a fly who couldn't be happier with their life, but, your actions truly say otherwise.

If you are truly happy, you would not try to bother me.

What do you accomplish by trying to see someone squirm? What do you accomplish by intentionally hurting someone? If you're genuinely happy and content with your life, that happiness will make you feel like you're walking on sunshine and nothing could ever tear you down. You wouldn't feel the need to bother someone else with your unnecessary and hurtful actions. So why are you trying to tear me down?

If there's anything I've observed from your behavior, it is that you aren't happy with yourself, so you find the need to pick on people you feel are weak. Next time you try picking on me, I hope you realize that I am anything but weak. I will not take what you try to throw at me. I've learned that being the bigger person is the most mature thing to do. As a college student, it amazes me how many people don't leave their 13-year-old drama back in middle school. We are adults. We are supposed to be independent and bettering ourselves. We are not supposed to be dedicated to hurting someone else and have a personal vendetta against them. Please tell me, how does that make YOU a better person?

There's nothing wrong in being the bigger person. It shows maturity. It shows that you won't let stupid drama that will never matter get to you. Look around you: there are so many more important things in this world than a "subtweet", or a dirty look, or talking behind someone's back about someone you know, or don't know. There are people around the world struggling to find a better life, there's war, there's hunger. People die every single day. Do you want to let negativity kill you? Negativity will you eat alive. Do something with all that negative energy. Turn it into positivity. Do something to better the world, and not to intentionally try to get to someone else.

What am I trying to say in this article? I'm trying to say that there are too many people that can't move on. It's time to stop this. It's time to focus on yourself and do something good for the world. Stop hurting people. Focus on yourself, and don't let other people try and bring you down from their petty and useless actions. None of this will matter. You're not getting to me. You're not going to tear me down.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
