11 Struggles As Told By A Forgetful Person
Michael Youssef

Sometimes your friends tend to tell you "I already told you this." Well, I consider myself as being more than just a forgetful person, but things will get better. Hopefully. I can be a bit delirious; in other words, my short term memory sucks! I often tend to remember the most random memories, numbers, and what you wore four years ago. Some people may think it's my ADHD, then again I'm simply a forgetful person. But I embrace it, and here are some key reasons you should too.

1. Texting someone back on the same day simply doesn't happen.

Your friends probably know this by now.. use it as a free pass when you REALLY forget to answer.


2. Forgetting your password is very NORMAL in your life.

Probably writing it down is a good idea, and your worst nightmare is having a 17 character password. As if!



3. You're often anxious that you’re forgetting something.

Just why brain.. let me get some sleep.




4. You constantly ask your friends to remind you of important conversations.

And you still manage to forget.. why world!



5. You're thankful of having Facebook to remind you of important birthdays.

Pfft! I know my best friend's birthday. Right?!


*Still checks Facebook* #blessed

6. Finishing sentences doesn't exist in your life.

"Um. Huh. Yeah, I can't remember." Michael Scott is your role model.


7. You often feel the need to lock your car more than once.

BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW! Very simple. Better be safe than sorry.


8. Remembering the most random stuff is your best quality.

This simply means your stories include vivid details - if you finish your sentence of course.


9. Because your room often looks like this.

Sticky notes are your best friend!


10. You spend too much money buying agendas because you forget where you put them.

Buying Kate Spade's agendas is the best thing that will ever happen to you.



11. Missing deadlines is very common in your life!

My worst nightmare..



We can at least agree that forgetting to reply your friends text message has its perks! Therefore, being a forgetful isn't that horrible. It's all right to forget important things from time to time as long as you don't forget your best friend's birthday. It can be a little scary forgetting important tasks, but we are just humans. It happens to everyone. At least, Meredith Grey can agree with us in this one.

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.
