Inspiration for the Inspirationless
Keep Calm O Matic

Hey you. Life is hard. Life actually sucks on a fairly constant basis for most of us. Whether you've hit rock bottom or are just having one of those "kiss my ass and don't mess with me" kind of days, I offer to you inspiration for those of us who may be deemed “inspirationless”.

Things have been worse, and even if they haven't, they definitely could be. If you've just suffered a loss or a heartbreak, the pain within your soul will fade a little bit every day. Things will get better. You will get better, and you will get stronger with each moment that passes by, slowly but oh so surely.


Keep on stepping, solider. Life has so much more to offer you than just tragedy and pain. If not, explain coffee, romantic comedies, and Pandora. Pour yourself a cup, throw your hair in a bun, put on some gangster rap and make today your bitch! I know you have it in you. If gangster rap isn't your forte, do whatever it is that makes your soul happy.

Pain isn't something that is easily dealt with, whether it's physical or emotional. Everyone copes with pain in different ways. As a pessimistic twenty-something with anxiety, I know all too well how hard it can be to make it through each day. But from my heart to yours, you got this shit.

We all have our crosses to bear, some heavier than others. Just know that someone has probably been in a similar situation as you, staggering to hold onto the weight on their shoulders. With each step you take, the lighter the burden will become. One day you’ll wake up, and whatever pain is pushing you down now, will be nothing but a distant memory. Hold on, life gets better. The best is yet to come.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
