If you pay attention to Facebook’s trending topics, you may have noticed that for the past couple of days there has been a lengthy hashtag with fans demanding that Captain America be given a boyfriend. The majority of these supporters are shipping together Steve and Bucky — two war heroes and best friends that have been through literally everything together. Let me just make one thing clear: as an avid supporter of the LGBTQIA community, I am not okay with this. I mean, if Steve Rogers is going to be given a boyfriend, it has to be Tony Stark. Nothing on this planet will ever make me support the Bucky-Steve ship. I anti-ship (is that even a word?) the two of them so much that I refuse to even acknowledge if a ship name actually exists. I swear, Bucky is trying to steal Captain America from Iron Man’s loving arms. That’s probably what that whole Civil War movie is about. I refuse to see it because I do not want Steve Rogers anywhere near what’s-his-face.

Bucky, I just want you to know that you are ruining my ships and my life. How could you do this to me? Just go away, okay? Go back to playing dead on trains or whatever the heck it is that you do. Steve deserves better than you. He deserves a real man—well, he deserves a man missing part of his chest cavity—and he is just way too good for you. Do I have actual reasons to dislike you, Bucky? Yes. Yes, I do. In fact, I have an entire movie or two that I could use against you. Do I have any reason to dislike Tony Stark? No. Okay, there are probably several, but still—that is not the point. The point is that you, Bucky, need to see yourself out the door and sail back on that ship you came in on because Steve Rogers and Tony Stark will forever be, and you are destroying that.

I could write so many reasons that Captain America and Iron Man should be together, and many more about why Bucky and Steve should not. My number one reason is that you cannot assign a “bottom” or “top” to either of you, therefore, Bucky, you would ruin every single fanfiction ever. My second reason is just look at Tony Stark. He is a beautiful man. He even has beautiful facial hair. He has a hilarious personality with an ounce of salt and a pitcher of sarcasm. You, on the other hand, do what? Serve up a nice, hot dish of betrayal? Try to murder everyone with your excuse of, “Oh, I was brainwashed and had amnesia and blah, blah, blah”. Good try, Bucky. Good try. Honestly, I do not have a third reason except that they (meaning Stony) are a match made from Heaven. You are just a third wheel, Bucky. To wrap this whole article up, I do not support giving Captain America a boyfriend because you are giving him the wrong boyfriend. He needs a strong, beautiful man that can take care of him and not the average man who falls off of a freaking train only to later backstab you. How do you know he won’t backstab you again, Steve? Huh? Tell me that! #StonyForLife #ByeBucky #CivilWarIsJustMommyAndDaddyHavingAFight

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.
