12 Struggles Of Being Single During The Holidays
www.pixelstalk.net

To set the scene, just imagine this. You have been "in love" with the same guy for over a year and all of a sudden things get rough. You cannot handle it anymore so you guys just go your separate ways. A year or more of the same person day in and day out. They know how you like your coffee, they know your favorite things, and how not to talk to you until you have coffee. They understand that there's no argument that a burrito bowl cannot fix and they know how you like them. We all know that starting over can be difficult, most of the time you just want to run back to the person that knows everything about you. But you can't do that to yourself and you know it. I know this can be the ultimate struggle, especially during the holidays. Why not put these single holiday struggles into a list? I hope I'm not the only one struggling.

1. "Who do I go to the zoo lights with?!"

This is a very legit question because you can't go alone and most of the people that go are couples and families. I'll just go by myself? No, I'm not that lonely... Yet..

2. How does one "start over?"

Do I just go up to a random person and ask if they want to drink hot chocolate and make snow angels? I'm not buddy the elf.

3. "Is this guy flirting with me??"

I have no idea what flirting is anymore...Does sarcasm count?

4. "Ew, have I really looked like this for the past year?!"

What has my life come to that I don't actually have makeup on everyday? It's like I have never seen my face without makeup, but I don't want to. It's bad.

5. Those cute couple-ish pictures are a thing of the past.

6. "So when is it acceptable to exchange numbers?"

7. How dressy do you dress for a date?

Can I just be the Grinch?

8. "What do you mean by 'how do you like your coffee?' you don't know?!"

The wrong coffee is seriously the worst.

9. Can you change the music in the car if you don't like it?

Serious question. Not even kidding.

10. When your pets don't even want to snuggle...

11. *Guy asks you out*

12. The struggle of thinking you like someone but not knowing if it's mutual...

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.
