The Daily Issues of Having No Filter

And no, I'm not talking about Instagram.

The Daily Issues of Having No Filter

We all have that friend with no filter, and quite frankly I'd have to say—it's me.

Here is a list of the daily issues people will no filter face:

Your mind is always wandering. People will say something a little off the deep end, but then you contribute and everyone's like, "Woah, you took that too far, like wayyy too far."

You value honesty. You don't talk behind people's backs as often as other people because you're more than likely to just say it to their face.

You find yourself walking on eggshells around sensitive people. You don't want to add a filter because then that means not being yourself. Being a person with no filter means absolutely nothing gets held back.

Sometimes people get extremely offended by what you say, but in your mind you actually put it into really nice terms. People will get mad at you and say "Well, that was harsh" and in your mind you're thinking "Wow, I'm glad I sugar coated that one."

People can never tell when you're being serious or joking around. You find yourself accidentally pushing people's buttons often, because you don't really have many buttons to be pushed yourself.

You're the friend that people come to and say "You'll be honest with me, how do I look?" Which is 100 percent true since you expect the same in return.

You're basically always the butt of the joke, because they know you can take it, and they know you don't care. My friends rip on me all. the. time.

With that, you're actually usually going to beat them to the punch. Nobody likes someone that can't laugh at themselves. Only difference is, you're laughing at yourself all the time.

Meeting new people is always a gamble. People either love you or hate you. You just have to accept the fact that a lot of people do not enjoy friends with no filter—even though you probably didn't like them first.

Going on dates is kind of hilarious. For the first couple of dates you're extremely nervous that the real you will come out and you'll say something normal in your mind but totally absurd in theirs. Of course, wine doesn't help.

If you're not in a really upbeat, crazy mood then everyone immediately thinks you're depressed. Hey, we all have our introverted moments.

Your best friends are your friends that share no filter. You basically share an extremely inappropriate relationship with absolutely no boundaries. Anything and everything is shared even if it's completely crazy.

It's really awkward when you say something hilarious, and no one else finds it remotely funny. However, you don't really care what people think so you find yourself cracking up alone anyways.

You find yourself constantly wondering why people take life too seriously. Your way of comforting people is usually by comic relief or getting extremely deep depending on how much you like the person.

When you meet adults you find that people are always giving you weird looks as if to say "I cannot believe you just said that."

So, this is me apologizing for myself and the rest of the people in the world who completely do not understand what a filter is.

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.

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.
