10 Thoughts Every 'Pinner'  Has
GraphQL

Hey there, if you're like me then you are OBSSESSED with Pinterest, there's just one problem... Pinterest is not the real world, and is full of lies. I still love it though! Here are 10 thoughts that I have, just about every time I look at the beautiful site.

1. Dang that's cute, I'm just going to click on the link and see how much:

Oh, $75.00 for a swimsuit, that's funny.... well I guess I will just have to go with out, as I am not a millionaire and can't justify spending $75 on something that will get sunscreen and water on it.

2. YES, that D.I.Y. looks so easy:

LOL, fail. Epic. Fail. It is sad that I can't do a simple craft; what is the meaning of my life? It is time for me to come to grips that I will NEVER be a crafty mom. #pinterestfail is the most relatable hashtag out there, am I right?

3. OMG 30 days to a beach body:

Wait, the girl in that picture is most likely a model, so the 30 day ab workout will probably not have the same affect on me.... oh well, time to go get another snack!

4. Another D.I.Y... seriously, how do they do that:

One would think that a tissue paper pineapple would be very simple to make... WRONG. I am starting to wonder how I passed art in elementary school?

5. Can my Pinterest closet please be my real closet, please:

I know I am not the only one who has this thought. If I had half the clothes that I pinned, I wouldn't always be wearing gym clothes...I would actually make an effort to look nice. But who needs cute clothes anyway.... wait, I do.

6. The 'hacks' on Pinterest:

Honestly, how do people come up with these, and how do they have that much time on their hands? I just saw a pin titled '35 Home Depot hacks you'll regret not knowing' 35..... seriously.... there are 35 hacks that I need to know about Home Depot?

7. Oh that recipe looks yummy:

I have had about 3 successful recipes off of Pinterest... out of the 413 pins that I have. Ya win some, ya lose some... well you lose most of them in my case.

8. If my house was a house from Pinterest:

I have created my dream house, now i just need 3 bajillion dollars to build it; donations are welcome... Honestly, if my laundry room looked like the ones I have pinned, I would be content just living in there.

9. Feeling like a life coach:

Let me just say, whenever I am feeling down, all I have to do is spend about five minutes on Pinterest looking at the "motivational quotes", and I leave feeling like a life coach.

10. Being able to laugh at ALL of my #pinterestfails:

I once saw this adorable picture of a dog wrapped in Christmas lights. Naturally, I grabbed my dog and lit him up like a Christmas tree.... he still gets the jitters around Christmas time... whoops!

I seriously love Pinterest, but these thoughts cross my mind every time I click on the cute little app on my phone.

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.
