11 Ways My Life Has Had Absolutely Zero Chill Since Mercury Has Been In Retrograde

In This Article:

Starting on July 7th, Mercury has been in retrograde. If you know anything, you know that this means life is going to get a little crazy. This was multiplied by like 12,000 for me. It seems like since like July 7th life has been borderline unlivable. As a Leo, the stars seem to always have it out for me, but it took it to a whole new level. Here are just a few of the things I have had to go through thanks to this dumb rock moving weird.

1. Waking up like, at least 3 times a night

I don't think I have had more than like 5 good nights of sleep since the 7th, so I have been actually exhausted everyday, I can barely make it until my 2pm nap without dozing off.

2. My hair has been an absolute disaster

I have not been able to get my hair to look good in what feels like forever, but I did the math and it has actually only been since July 7th. Shocker. I mean, I got my haircut 2 months ago, and have even stopped shampooing and using any sort of product in it and it still looks greasy and flat. It is the actual worst.

3. My room has been soooooo messy

My room has been a pig-sty for weeks. Even when I take everything on the floor and push it into one corner, it still feels like a mess. There is just nothing I can do until Mercury gets its act together.

4. My friends keep canceling plans

I have had pretty big plans this summer, and usually they work out great, whenever I ask my friends if they want to get ice cream last minute they always say yes. But last week, I must have asked my friends if they wanted to go to Europe next month like TWICE, and it seems like nobody. is. down. It's like, why can't my life just be NORMAL.

5. 

6. My parents haven't been letting me do ANYTHING

So yesterday, I asked my mommy if I could go to Europe with some friends next month (hoping my friends might agree eventually), and she said no! Like, what? What the heck is my life even!!! She is absolutely insane, just let me LIVE.

7. My Airpods keep getting tangled in my pocket 

Need I say more?

8. My car keeps running out of gas. 

When I was away at school, I wouldn't have to full my car up for MONTHS, maybe like once or twice if I was home for a week. Now it's like, always empty. I keep having to stop by a gas station to put a dollars worth of gas in it and that will last me a day if I'm luck. WHAT IS MY LIFE.

9. I get hungry

So this thing has been happening to me recently where I will eat a fairly large meal, like a hard boiled egg or something like that. I should be full right, but every time I eat it's like 20 minutes later I feel the need to eat again. Granted, I am trying to lose a little weight, but I didn't know that that would require being mildly peckish for more than 5 minutes. Mercury, just move FOREWORDS already.

10. I broke both arms in my sleep

This art tickle took along thyme two right with voice-to-text not gun a lie ellipsis no type dot dot dot no ...

11. I didn't get a lot of tips at work once

I worked for like 3 straight hours at this golf course one day, like I always do, but I didn't get a lot of tips for some reason. AND on top of that it was pouring rain all day so I got wet when I walked to my car after they let me our early. Thanks MERCURY.

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.
