Dear Cupid, Are You There?

I'm starting to give up on you...

Dear Cupid, Are You There?

Dear Cupid,

Where the hell are ya? I'm approaching my 20th Valentine's Day and I'm still alone. What is the sitch? You seem to have missed me when you went and shot your little arrows into everyone else. My friends, my cousins, even my little sister!?!? They've all had their turn finding someone and falling in love and then there's me. Seemingly forever single.

I ponder all the reasons why you may have skipped over me. Do I smell bad? I shower pretty often, use deodorant and even use perfume! So I don't think it's that. Is it because I cry too much? Because I could probably tone that down too if it would mean an arrow would come my way. Maybe it's because I'm an awful cook. But I do make a dank grilled cheese!! Come on, that has to count for something! But seriously, where the hell are you....enough is enough.

Sometimes it really sucks. Ya know, being single and stuff.

But guess what, according to everyone in a relationship ever, "It'll happen when you least expect it!!!!!!" Well friends, I've been "least expecting it for about a year now. Still not happening. So now I'm writing a letter to Cupid, maybe this letter will grab his attention a little and something good will come my way.

This has been a good year for me! I deleted all my dating apps (see ya Tinder and Bumble), because the guys on there are looking for one thing, and it's not exactly PG. I've sat in all the little cute coffee shops hoping someone will slide their number my way, but no such luck. And I can't meet anyone in class because I have the same people in every class. I guess I'm just an unlucky gal.

I think I've come to the conclusion that I have 7 years bad luck from breaking that mirror that time. That's a thing right? So no wonder why I'm single and alone and writing this pointless letter to Cupid. Because I broke that freakin' mirror.

Well you know what Cupid? SCREW YOU. I may regret that in a year when I'm still single but until then, I've had enough of your crap. Who says that you get to determine everything? I did nothing bad to you! Yet you seem to skip me every single time. I'm done. Enough. This year WILL be my year, whether or not you come my way.

To all my single friends out there, don't get too down this Valentine's Day. Being in a relationship, or having a significant other does not determine your self-worth. Treat yourself this February 14th, go on a dinner date with a friend, stay in bed, eat chocolate, watch your favorite t.v. show, go to the gym and get some of that angst out on the track! Head to the local club and bust some moves to get that serotonin flowing! You are beautiful just the way you are, independent, brave, and sexy af and you don't need a Valentine to be loved! Your friends love you, your family loves you, and your dog most definitely loves you. That sounds like enough love for me.

Plus, love can be kind of icky.


Moral of the story, love yourself. Cupid is silly, and you don't need a Valentine to be loved. It's just one silly day, and it'll all be over on the 15th. Chin up, smile. Everyone's time will come, and if mine doesn't, I'm totally okay adopting 5 dogs from the local shelter. Anyways, Cupid, it would be nice if you headed my way soon, if not, that's okay too.

Happy Valentine's Day<3

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.

WP content

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.
