You Don't Have To Believe In Everything You Write About

Just because you write about something doesn't mean you care about it.

An example of this would be someone who is pro-choice writing something from the stance of a pro-lifer. It could be because of the possible societal ridicule one can get from writing from positions stemming from less than liked opinions. It seems as if this kind of (much-needed) writers who have the ability to capture an intriguing view of something that isn't their own viewpoint is looked down upon. As if it makes you come off as a sort of advocate for the idea and if you didn't agree with the idea why would you bring it up? But these views have to be brought up in a logical way in order to be properly dismantled.

A time when pseudonym was very relevant in literature was the 19th century when women were in a very male-dominated field when it came to writing. They are also used when writers don't want their name to influence a readers perspective on their book.

All in all most of the time when pseudonym seems to be used its to disguise a person from their right of portraying their views. To show we are a more confident and educated society we must all realize that when you read something it might not be honestly what the writer agrees with. Sometimes you need to put yourself in a different personal perspective to see why they might feel the way they feel and as a writer, you are able to convey ideas in a digestible and figurative way others might not. Your using your skills and your desire to show the world a different perspective and doing that with hard to discuss topics will take the almost boogeyman like stigma away.

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.
