You're Never Too Old To Watch Cartoons, Don't Let Anybody Tell You Otherwise

No matter how old you might get, there is a child hidden within all of us, and there is no getting rid of it.

You're Never Too Old To Watch Cartoons, Don't Let Anybody Tell You Otherwise

When we were all younger, I'm sure at one point somewhere in our childhood we all watched cartoons. Whether it was oldies such as "Tom and Jerry" or "Scooby-Doo," or shows like "Danny Phantom," "SpongeBob SquarePants" or "Jimmy Neutron." Now we're adults, and society is trying to put labels on us. One of those labels is that adults are too old to be watching cartoons anymore, and if you do, you're frowned upon.

Today I want to disprove this false notion once and for all because if I'm being honest, it's completely stupid.

First off, cartoons in current times all take notice that the audience is not just a bunch of kids. I've seen cartoons crack plenty of jokes and one-liners that would immediately go over so many kids' heads. If you find yourself thinking of cartoons as a daycare for little kids, just remember that they all are just screenplay similar you would find in any regular TV show, but animated. Cartoons tend to use a lot of comedy and parody in many forms, whether being subtle about it or upfront.

Even if the newer cartoons these days don't catch your eye, you can always take that glorious trip down memory lane for a cup of nostalgia. As we all get older and as life goes on, who wouldn't want to feel like a kid again? There are parents who even watched these old cartoons alongside their kids. Just because they're now all grown up, who says they have to stop?

No matter how old you might get, there is a child hidden within all of us, and there is no getting rid of it.

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.
