An Open Letter To People Who Hate Me

Hello,

How is hating me going for you? I hope it is going well because this is my letter to you to let you know that I do not ever think about you. Your strong distaste for my existence does not affect me like it affects you. You probably see me and feel angry. When I see you I smile because I know you hate me and I really don't care. I find it funny that you put so much effort into hating me and I rarely think of you. When I do think of you, I do wonder what I did to you to make you hate me. But then I realize, that I really do not care why you hate me. I do not lose sleep over you talking bad about me, or the dirty looks you give me in passing, or anything about you not liking me. You hating me is kind of flattering, because you probably think about me a lot more than I think about you! That is so sweet; it's nice to know that I am always on your mind!

So now I would like to explore the possibilities of why you probably hate me. I most likely did something that you did not like. I said something that made you upset, I did not follow some sort of social protocol, or your significant other liked me better than you. Whatever the reason is for you hating me, I am sure it is totally valid in your opinion. But here is the reality of the situation: You are holding some sort of twisted grudge against me for my actions or my mere existence. You make the choice to spend your energy disliking me for whatever reason instead of just moving past it. You consciously choose to hate me and that must take up a lot of your time. Could I suggest a new hobby, besides hating me? I am sure you would like gardening, fantasy football, or maybe even a nice hike would do you some good. I know that hating me must be a very time consuming and entertaining hobby, but I feel like your energy could be spent a bit more productively. But, hey, that is just my opinion and you hate me, so you probably do not care what I think. Get over yourself, get over me, and get on with your life. Or you could waste more time and energy on hating me, whatever works for you.

Sincerely,

The person you most definitely still hate.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
