To the few selfless people in the world,

You have to know who you are because you are very rare. You know you are selfless when you realize that you always have to only do what others want. You can never have your way because the other person just won't have it. It always has to be their way no matter what. But you are used to it now because that's how it has always had to be. You don't want pizza because you had it yesterday? Well, your friend wants it and won't take no for an answer so you just accept it because you don't want to cause any problems. No matter what, it will be a huge ordeal and you'll have to end up letting them get their way anyways, so you might as well let them to start with, right?

You always put others first, no matter what. Even though you have been so excited for one particular thing, your friend doesn't want to, so you basically have to go alone or not do it at all. Some people need to realize that sometimes you actually have to put others first and do what other people want to do even if you don't want to. But for some reason, most people don't understand that. See if they really wanted to see you, they would do what you wanted for a change, but they are just too selfish to do anything they don't want to.

You on the other hand, always make time for others, even if you barely have time for yourself. Someone needs help so you stop to help them, even if you have a million other things on your plate. Your friend is going through something, so you drop everything just to go and be with them. But do you get anything in return? Well of course not, that's what you're supposed to do. If you didn't you would be such a terrible person. Even though they probably wouldn't even answer the phone if you needed them. But that's fine because it's not like you know any different.

You respect other people's opinions, no matter how much you disagree. You always try to spare their feelings in a disagreement. Because everyone's opinion matters. Your opinion is not the only thing that is right. While they, on the other hand will do anything in their power to make sure they prove you wrong, even if there is no way you will change your opinion. So you basically just have to leave for them to stop trying to tell you that you are wrong or act like you agree with them.

You are generous and kind. No matter what others do to you, you always seem to put them first. You give them way more chances than they deserve just because of how much you care for others. You give to others, without expecting anything in return. You are very rare and more people need to be like you. The world would be such a better place if they were. People need to stop only caring about themselves and see what they could do for others. If people were even half as selfless as you, the world would change tremendously, and definitely for the better. Maybe one of these days you will rub off on people, instead of them only taking advantage of your kindness. But just know, that I appreciate you, and it's people like you who are going to change the world.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

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.
