24 Actual "Just Girly Things"

The hashtag #JustGirlyThings is my favorite hashtag and my least favorite hashtag (see point 19). I read a lot of them and relate immediately. I read others and want to throw up and do something violent because of how stupid they make our gender look. So, these are my actual #justgirlythings:

1. Wearing men's deodorant. It's better.

2. Doing the same job as a man but while wearing 4 inch heels.

3. Wearing clothes because we like them, not because you do. We dress for ourselves, not for you.

4. Complaining about your mom but doing the exact same thing. She's so controlling and so are we.

5. Lying about how far away you are from a destination. I'm 5 minutes away!

6. Constantly resenting boys for the ways their lives are easier than ours. No periods, no childbirth, and can wear shorts and a teeshirt to 90% of occasions.

7. Going through child birth but still being the weaker sex. This doesn't even make sense.

8. Constantly being glad we're girls not boys. It's hard, but it's worth it to be a woman.

9. Being able to open jars.

10. Letting boys open jars for us to make them feel good about themselves.

11. Letting boys open jars for us because we're lazy.

12. Following people you hate on social media... and getting mad every time you see their posts, but yet you don't unfollow them.

13. Liking sports.

14. Not liking sports.

15. Liking the men who play sports.

16. Being a doctor, police officer or stay at home mom. We do it all, and it's all girly.

17. Wanting alone time but not wanting to be alone.

18. Being judgmental but hating being judged. See below point.

19. Being hypocritical.

20. Not being afraid of spiders.

21. Still making a guy kill the spider for you. It's funny because he's probably afraid of them but doesn't want to show it.

22. Liking pink. I don't care if you think it's stupid to have everything that could possibly be pink be pink.

23. Really hating pink. I respect that too.

24. Kind of hating the word girly. It reminds you of one of your grandmother's friends who was constantly referring to you as "girly!" "Hey girly! What are you up to?"

What girly things have you experienced?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
