I’m Single And Mingling And Making No Apologies For It

Who are you to judge people who choose to casual date.

People give casual talking and/or dating a bad name but that’s exactly what I’m doing and I make no apologies for it. I’m living as I call it my “hottest life” and enjoying it to the fullest.

Now right away people will start slut shaming because I’m not just single and I’m not taken either so the assumption is I’m sleeping around and trying to make myself sound better. And to be clear that is absolutely NOT the case. Just because I’m a girl whose casual dating doesn’t mean I’m a slut sleeping around. That’s not me at all. I have a firm belief sex is only meant for someone you’re in love with but that’s not the assumption people make about girls who casually date. Automatically we are slut shammed with no questions asked.

I’m a 20-year-old college student trying to balance college course, work, friends and family and more so someone is going to have to be damn sure amazing to make me want commitment right now. It’s just not something I feel the need for right now. I’ve been in love before and although it’s the most amazing feeling in the world when it ends it crushes you and I’m at a point in life right now where love is not worth the risk. But this doesn’t mean I hate love or people in relationships or am shunning them forever. It just means at the stage I’m in my life right now I’m not looking for something serious. I’d rather focus on everything else I have going on in life and if the opportunity arises to go on some dates with someone or casually talk. But I should not have to apologize for living my life the way I am. And I sure as hell am not going to.

I’ve become a strong independent woman who just wants to live life to the fullest. So leave your judgment to yourself because I’m doing me and loving every second of it.

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.
