11 Reasons Why Having A Blunt Friend Is Important

Everyone has that one friend who always voices exactly what they're thinking. Telling you to change the outfit that isn't doing you justice, or to break up with that f*ckboy that's continually breaking your heart.

Personally, there is nothing better than being that friend. Helping you pick up the pieces to your puzzle is what we're good at. We refuse to live in the shadow of another person because we just find it boring. Our minds are intrigued with a lot you may not understand, but our hearts are always in the right place.


1. We tell you how it is

We don't tell you something isn't right if it's not. We'll pull you aside and tell you when the guy you're drooling over at the bar isn't worth your time. We know when you're acting like yourself and when you're not just because other people are around. We know the colors and styles that best fit you and you can always take our word for it. In simpler terms, if the dress doesn't fit, don't wear it.

2. We know what we want

We don't tolerate people or minuscule things that are by any means not good for us and we're proud to say so. If you say something we don't like or screw us over in some tacky fashion, we'll leave you with our classy thoughts about it. BUT we won't stop to throw a pity party for you or ourselves. AKA, don't mess with our friends either.

3. We're determined

We have ambition. We have those dreams that people tend to roll their eyes at with the popular "good luck" in return. The only thing we doubt is the person that tells us we can't achieve what we want, and we'll kindly let them know that. We push our friends to be the same kind of person that believes you can have whatever you want.

4. We don't chase other people

We'll make fun of you for constantly going back to that ex that's cheated on you more times than we both can think of. Regardless, we'll still always be there with a bottle of wine and a pint of Gelato to make up for the stupid mess he created. We'll bad mouth him with you and continue to go on about how you can do much better.

5. Being ourselves is what we're good at

We don't dance on bars if we don't want to. But if you do, we'll tell the DJ to play your favorite song.

We don't sleep with the guy we just met if that's not what we're into. But if you do, we'll be your driver the next morning laughing about the stupid things you said...or did.

And we certainly don't talk negatively about other people just so we can fit in. We don't have time to criticize and judge other people when we know they're too busy trying to be themselves in the very same respect. Friends don't diss other friends.

6. Uncomfortable is not in our vocabulary

We love ourselves because we're comfortable in our own skin. We love the fact that we're brave enough to say exactly what's on our mind. When a friend of ours seems out of place, we get them right back into their element, no questions asked.

7. We have Chronic B*tch Face

It is a real thing, and it's so dangerous when it comes to first impressions. Many people think we're always bitter about something. Intimidating is our middle name and it's fully realized with our facial expressions. Friends help us out in this aspect when we don't realize the attitude on our face needs put in check. Give and take, right? Thankfully, we're satisfied with the way life is playing out 99% of the time.

8. If we aren't satisfied we change something

We in fact DO cry, we are real humans and we do feel pain. We get sad over just as many little things that make us happy. We're okay with letting it out when we need to, but we're never down for the count. We know how to pick ourselves back up and transition into a different atmosphere. This being said, we don't ever plan on leaving your side because you're having a hot-mess of a week. We've been there.

9. We like adventure

We want to go places. Seeing new things is what makes us tick. We'll be there for you when you want to get away from town and see new sights in a different state, or when you want to just take a 30 minute walk to get ice cream. We get overly excited when you get asked to go on dates that require real interaction. Netflix & chill has never been, and will never be, a thing for us.

10. When we tell you we love you, we mean it

Being a blunt person can be hard when we're trying to express emotion and we have to tell someone something they don't want to hear. In the opposite, when we tell you we care, we mean it. When we tell you that you're our best friend, we mean it.

11. Success is on our minds 99% of the time

We don't half-ass anything, including our friendships. If something needs to be said or done, we'll do it. If we screw up, there is no hesitation for an apology. We want to do more than just the entry-level position we attain right out of college. Whatever our friends want our of life, we'll continue to help them take the right steps to get there. We'll push you forward not backwards.

We're just outspoken and we're okay with it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
