Maybe you deserved it and maybe you didn’t

To Those Who Never Got Their Second Chance

There are just some people who deserve so much in life. While there are others that randomly get so much when they aren’t the greatest person on the face of the Earth. The rest of the world, they just don’t see anything good or bad about themselves. What I’m speaking of are those who never got any type of second chance.

For the good that got their second chance, I feel your pain in most cases. Sometimes we are too good and we don’t realize we made a mistake. We aren’t told right away, we have to figure out ourselves on where we went wrong with certain people. Begging for answers is all we can do just so we know where we went wrong. Apologizing some odd number of times is all we do until they decide to forgive us. However, they never do and get rid of us completely and we always wonder why.

Those who are not the kindest people in the world, why are you even trying? Do you not know how much damage you caused some people? Whether it was so bad you had to be punished in every way possible or it wasn’t bad to the degree you still did a terrible thing. You believe you’ve learned from your mistakes and you won’t do it again, but at this point you really shouldn’t expect anymore chances for yourself. People won’t ever get the bad in you out of their head, it’s all they will see out of you.

For the people that just find themselves average, it’s because we don’t know if you’re even trying. Sometimes we believe you are while other times you look like you don’t know what you’re doing. You have to know what you are doing and what you are capable of in order to get that chance. If you don’t, then bye bye second chance.

Second chances are very difficult to receive. You never know if you’re going to get one at any point in your life. If you do, then congratulations, you’re surviving life and just remember to hold on to that chance. If not, then you are probably shot out of luck and you will never get any type of chance again.

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.
