Tinder, You Freak Me Out

I'm not swiping anywhere.

Tinder, you really freak me out.

No, I have never used Tinder before, or any of those swipe right or left sort of apps, but honestly I will never understand the point of it. All I ever see people doing nowadays are swiping some pics based on looks. Don’t think I’m judging, I have friends who are on Tinder, but I ask them “why?” all the time. They tell me “Oh it’s for fun.” What’s for fun? It seems so unnecessary.

I feel like people are on it to secretly meet someone, but joke about it in the public eye. In this generation I belong to, people are so afraid of “love” or “liking” someone. These are the people I see on dating apps. If you’re so afraid of love, why the heck are you on a creepy site where the person you’re talking to might be a total perv? Honestly, if you’re looking for a relationship, then get off your phone, and start meeting people face to face. If you think someone’s good looking on the street, well shit, just tell them. That compliment will most likely mean more to the person than a “I want nudes of you” on Tinder ever will.

If I see you in public with friends, at lunch, at a party or anywhere where there are people surrounding you and you are on Tinder, I will call you out, and you will be embarrassed. Boys, if you think it’s a turn on when girls see you on Tinder, think again. Boy, if you’re cute and on Tinder, and a girl catches you, I hope that girls swipes you left out of her life. Same goes to you ladies. Don’t be fooled by these guys on Tinder telling you that they’re looking for long, lasting, love, when all they could be doing is hoeing around in another town next to you with another girl, telling her the same stuff he told you.

Wow Tinder, you really do freak me out. Ladies and gents, can we go back to a time where it was acceptable to compliment someone face to face without thinking the other person is weird? Is chivalry really dead? That’s what it seems like because all we have left now are false dating apps that people use “for fun”. If you really want to meet someone, friends or more than friends, just use Bumble! I heard it’s great.

KIDDING. TOTALLY KIDDING. Seriously though, chat it up with them in person, it will be a hell of a lot more meaningful than a swipe right based on looks ever will be. Guys,keep asking girls out on dates. And ladies, keep approaching guys. Don’t let technology or apps determine your fate with someone.

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.
