12 Things Positive People Never Do

By
Mary Wright

Positive people are not positive because everything is perfect in their life. They are positive because they don’t let the stress and negativity get to them. They take full control and responsibility for their lives and they strive to become better every single day.  

Plus, all positive, happy, and successful people don’t do these 12 things:  

1. THEY DON’T HOLD GRUDGES  

Positive people know that holding grudges only leads to resentment and pain. Instead, they go through life with a mindset of forgive and forget. This mindset makes them able to accept all the things that happen to them and move on after learning a valuable lesson.  

2. THEY DON’T BEAT THEMSELVES UP OVER EVERY MISTAKE 

Positive people don’t see failure as a bad thing and they don’t try everything in their power to avoid it. They understand that failure is a part of life and it is essential when it comes to learning the greatest life truths. Their positivity and success come from their ability to see their mistakes and failures as stepping stones toward bettering themselves.  

3. THEY DON’T ASSUME THE WORST THINGS  

Positive people know that most of our problems are just an invention in our heads. They know that it is not in their interest to freak out over something that might not even happen in the first place. When someone doesn’t reply to their text they don’t assume the worst because they understand that not everyone is able to reply right away.  

4. THEY DON’T GET BORED  

Boredom is something that only the uncreative and uninspired people can experience. Positive people are curious about the world around them. They are fascinated by every little thing that happens in their life. They go through their life with enthusiasm and ask many questions because they want to know everything.  

5. THEY DON’T COMPROMISE THEMSELVES TO ‘REALITY’ 

Positive people understand that the ‘reality’ we live in can sometimes be a dreadful place. So, they don’t let themselves to compromise on it. Their version of reality is something different – it is a world where anything is possible if you try hard enough. They believe in a good and optimistic reality.  

6. THEY AREN’T SCARED TO HEAR THE TRUTH  

Positive people know that they have to face the truth because there is no room for growth without it. They know that living in a lie and making excuses leads nowhere, so instead, they choose the truth over everything.  

7. THEY DON’T EXPECT TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING  

Positive people know that if you want to get something worthy you must work hard to achieve it. They don’t believe in scams like “get younger” or “lose weight fast.” Instead, they don’t lose hope and are patient enough to wait for their success.  

8. THEY DON’T LET NEGATIVITY IN THEIR LIFE  

Their positivity comes from them not hijacking their brain with negative thoughts. When some negative thought pops into their head, they are quick to dismiss it. They always remind themselves that nothing good ever comes from negativity and stressing over something.  

9. THEY DON’T SEE PROBLEMS AS ‘PROBLEMS’  

Positive people see problems in a different way than most people. They see them as challenges. They know that any problem and any obstacle can be solved. Positive people challenge themselves with every problem that gets in their way to happiness – they see it as an opportunity for improvement.  

10. THEY DON’T FORGET THE LITTLE THINGS  

It is easy to forget the little things. But this is not true for positive people. Positive people don’t want to forget them. They remember the smallest things that made their hearts beat faster and they are thankful for them. They are happy for every little thing they have.  

11. THEY DON’T COMPARE WITH OTHERS  

Positive people know that every person is different and has its own path. So, they don’t tend to compare themselves to others. They don’t focus on what others have and what they do in their life. Instead, they concentrate only on the things going on in their life. 

12. THEY DON’T HANG OUT WITH TOXIC PEOPLE 

It’s unlikely to see positive people hanging out with negative people. This is because positive people understand that negativity is contagious, so they don’t let the negativity of toxic people to bring them down or diminish their happiness. You also won’t see them gossiping or complaining.   

 

Tired Of Being A Negativity Sponge? Here’s What You Need To Know To Reclaim Your Energy And Prevent Energy Infiltration

By
Elizabeth Williams

Everything has a vibration – smells, sounds, colors, objects, animals, people. As I have written in a previous article, we are in a continual energetic cycle of communication with everything around us, and what we let to affect us is what we become.

And as much as we have the power to affect the world around us with our energy, sometimes we seemingly lose that ability because our vibration becomes lowered and weaker than the surrounding sources.

In this lowered state, we become negativity sponges. Everybody is looking for a place to dump their negativity because it’s very hard to deal with. And when you become an energy dumpster… well, I don’t have to say too much about it – you are well aware what happens.

The sad truth is that we often choose to lower our vibration for all the wrong purpose. I’m not talking about going against our innate goodness (that is self-explanatory). I am talking about destroying our shield out of goodness.

Although it’s always important to lower your shield when you want to connect with people, we often go a step too far, compromising our energy, and ending up in a messed up energetic state.

So, here’s how to know what is that one step too far and how you can reclaim your vibration.

1. Avoid connecting with people through negative emotion

It may seem like an unavoidable scenario: your friend feels sad, and you match emotions to connect with them – to make them some kind of consolation-company. This way, we even our vibration with theirs to be on the same wavelength, and we thus lower our vibration.

Some may argue that this is very normal and expected from those who are close to you. I’d argue against it, though. It’s true that misery likes company, but this kind of company will never help anyone out.

If you truly hold that person dear, you should offer them a higher vibration so that they can get out of that lowered state. This way, you not only help them, but you also help yourself by not getting down in the dumps. In the end, how can you help someone out if you start suffering from the same problem as them?

2. Some things are not your responsibility – and they shouldn’t be

We all face challenges that are set there to make us grow. These challenges may often feel negative and almost impossible to handle. However, the worst you can do for them is take their responsibility upon yourself.

We often start feeling as if we are supposed to fix other people’s problems simply because they complained about how difficult they were for them. Other times, when we are asked to help, we decide to take one step further and start doing the things they are supposed to and can do.

However, you shouldn’t forget that we all carry our own baggage and we are responsible for it more than for the baggage of others. Giving help doesn’t mean grabbing their bags and pulling them with our teeth because our hands are already full.

No matter how ready you feel to do this, it doesn’t do the other person any good because they won’t learn anything from that challenge – they won’t grow. The better option is to encourage them to use their knowledge and power and face the challenge because they are readier for it than you can imagine.

Nobody needs a problem-solver. We just sometimes need a little push and some encouragement.

3. Substitute compassion for sympathy

Sympathy is a poison. Many people don’t understand this and find me cold-hearted when I say this, although I know how much love I have for this world. And why is it a poison? Because it leads nowhere but in the worst direction.

Sympathy means that you feel sorry for someone’s struggle, and when you feel sorry for them, it means that you don’t believe they are capable of coping with that challenge. Why would you think that? Our ability to tackle the most difficult of challenges is something we are born with.

So, why underestimate the person by feeling sorry for them? Compassion is a much more evolved approach that lets you understand their struggle, accept their position, and empower them (if you can) to overcome the obstacles.

You need to have more trust in the people you love – you need to trust their ability, that requires a simple spark of love and understanding to come to the surface. Compassion is a force that promotes growth and bonding – sympathy is a force that destroys the person before they were given the chance to fight.

4. Don’t be so sure that you know better

A person’s life is such a complex thing that you cannot possibly imagine everything that makes that complexity. So are life situations, in which everyone has their smart opinion – until they are faced with one too.

I have never asked for a piece of someone else’s mind on things that are happening to me. Do you know why? It takes a lot more than words for me to explain everything that is part of that problem, and I don’t see why this would be anything different from you or the next person.

And no matter how much you know about someone’s problem, they will always know one thing more. Which means, no matter how good your advice is, no matter how better you think you know – your advice will most often be a dead end for them.

Why a dead end? Because they didn’t act the way they would and listened to you. Being true to yourself and to your nature is the most important thing. Every mistake I have made because it was my decision has been better than the seemingly ‘best things’ I’ve done under other people’s instruction.

So, no, you can’t know better. Allow the person to act as they naturally would.

5. Never take sides

Oftentimes people we know get into a quarrel and try to put is in the middle by making us choose sides. They try to achieve dominance in numbers and don’t really care about your opinion, which can be felt clearly.

In most of the scenarios, you simply want to be objective and rational, so as to help your, say, friends, to overcome the communication problem and make up.

However, bias, pressure, and thinking that we know it all make us jump in the middle and become bombarded by two clashing sources of negative energy. In the end, you don’t help in any way and end up feeling drained and guilty that you stepped in in the first place.

And really, why should you take sides in a problem that isn’t yours? Instead of choosing the sides of the story, you should embrace them and accept that people need to solve their differences without your meddling.

6. Never become a people pleaser (and if you are, start saying NO)

I have yet to learn to say NO to some situations, as all of us empaths have that people-pleasing gene that is screwing us over. But really, putting others in front of you may feel rewarding and selfless, although it’s actually ridiculous – and those others usually know it.

If everyone acted this way, we would live in a Utopia, I suppose. The truth, though, is that it’s impossible because we were simply born in our own skin, not that of the others – which means we need to start from ourselves.

Putting others before yourself and giving your energy away like you won it off in a casino is a self-betrayal that people won’t appreciate in you, no matter how much you hope that you’ll be appreciated for it.

A better option is to always ask yourself: ‘Can that person do that themselves?’ ‘Can that person wait?’ ‘Do I have to do something related to my life first?’ Even mothers shouldn’t bend to every of their children’s ideas and wishes, right? Why should you?

7. Mind your own business

It’s our eternal pain to learn what others think of us. Many have started revolving their lives around other people’s thoughts and opinions of them. It’s saddening and sickening, really.

I have the reputation of a ‘cold,’ ‘reserved,’ ‘arrogant,’ and whatnot person because I keep my healthy distance and don’t allow people to gobble up my life force and personality. And you know what? I don’t really care. In fact, I’m glad.

Everybody knows me for who I am, and I have never thought twice before saying the things I mean and standing up for myself because I don’t expect anyone else to do it for me.

I know I have an unlimited source of love for this world – but sometimes naughtiness can’t be rewarded with candy, right? Unless it’s cute, I suppose!

The most important thing is that you can’t define your life on the basis of other people’s opinions and thoughts about you. Those who like to judge you for who you are can freely do it, and you can freely not give an f*, because in the end: THAT’S YOU AND YOU SHOULDN’T CHANGE YOURSELF BECAUSE OF ANYONE’S OPINION.

Reclaim your identity, because if you lose it, nobody will be there to find it and bring it back to you. By reclaiming your identity, you reclaim your energy. Respect yourself and respect everyone around you, but know your boundaries.

The Real Difference Between Hot Women And Beautiful Women

By
Mary Wright

Ladies. We are skinny, cute, curvy, sexy, babes, juicy, voluptuous, and so on.

It seems like every time a man describes a woman he uses only adjectives that are dripping in defaming premises and sexual innuendos.

Women, let’s be honest. When was the last time you heard a man complimenting a woman on her intelligence, beauty, and elegance?

The truth is men tend to admire women by objectifying them. There is a loss of respect in men’s description of women, describing them as objects.

Most men look at women like things they need to conquer rather than appreciate them for the beauty of their soul and their individuality.

Most men nowadays are immediately attracted by big bottoms, large chests, stilettos, and hair extensions. They find bronzed skin and fake eyelashes sexy. It is like they are programmed to find any woman with perky breasts and a sculpted body attractive.

But what about those women who don’t like to be indulged in these male fantasies? What about those women who prefer flats over heels?

Those women who don’t dress to impress the men, but to enjoy and feel comfortable in their skin. Isn’t this attractive?

There are some men that judge women only on their sex appeal, not appreciating their grandeur and uniqueness of character.

They fail to see the natural beauty in women. They don’t realize that their concept of “attractiveness” will last until midnight when the makeup is wiped out.

It is a time we remind men of what is really beautiful. Because there is a big difference between beautiful and hot.

Hot is red lips and smokey- eyes – Beautiful is natural and bare face;

Hot is her curves – Beautiful is her mind;

Hot can be seen from afar – Beauty can only be understood from the heart;  

Hot are her moans – Beautiful is her manner of speaking;

Hot is devious – Beauty is innocence;

Hot is common and conventional – Beauty is unique;

Hot is youth – Beauty doesn’t have age;

Hot is Friday night – Beautiful is Sunday morning;

Hot is alluring – Beauty is wholesome;

Hot is grabbing her as* – Beautiful is making her breakfast;

Hot is a way of perception – Beauty is a way of appreciation;

Hot is a strong sex appeal – Beautiful is a strong and sharp mind;

Hot is an attractive appearance – True beauty is in the soul.

8 Unthinkable Ways Life Is Different For Men And Women, According To Science

By
Mary Wright

There are some things that are universally true for both men and women. For instance, we all argued with our friends and family, we all stubbed our toe in the middle of the night, and so on.  

However, there are some experiences that are actually different for men and women due to differences in physiology, psychology, and social structure.  

Here are 8 such examples that are backed-up by science.  

1. MEN SEE FEWER COLORS THAN WOMEN 

I am sure that any man who ever heard words like ocean blue, navy blue, sky blue, sapphire blue, and so on, can agree with this. However, there is a biological reason for this.  

Some scientists think that it can be attributed to the early past times when men were hunters and women were gatherers. Women had to distinguish between minor differences in color because while a pale-red berry was edible, a bright-red berry was considered to be dangerous.  

Plus, men are more likely to be colorblind than women. This is because the X chromosome carries colorblindness, and women have XX chromosome that counteracts the other.   

Still, this is not to say that men can’t distinguish between colors. But social conditioning plays a big role here and women indeed have an advantage when it comes to colors.  

2. WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO FEEL COLD IN OFFICE BUILDINGS  

If you are a man and you often find yourself arguing with your female coworker about the temperature in the office – science says you are both right.  

One study named “Energy Consumption in Buildings and Female Thermal Demand” found that women actually feel colder than men because of the difference in their metabolic rates.  

Plus, the study found that men cannot properly figure out the temperature that is comfortable for women. Unluckily for women, most thermostats at the offices are set by men so women are literally left in the cold. 

So, ladies yes, IT IS COLD IN THERE.  

3. WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE RELIGIOUS THAN MEN  

George H. Gallup, Jr. is a staff writer who talks about the societal differences between men and women. He thinks that since society expects women to be caregivers, they feel like they are responsible for the moral development of their children.  

He adds that women are more religious than men in general and they practice more consistently their faith.  

4. WOMEN NEED MORE SLEEP THAN MEN  

According to a book called “Sleepfaring” by Dr. Jim Horne, women’s brains are more active during the day because they tend to multitask, so they need more recovery time in order to function properly.  

Unfortunately, women also struggle more getting a good night’s sleep. This is true even more for the women who are in a relationship because men are often heavier and when they move during their sleep they affect the women’s sleep.   

5. MEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET SICK THAN WOMEN  

According to a research, male and female have different immune systems which act differently to viruses. Namely, men have more fluctuations in the body temperature, more fevers, more inflammations, and they need more recovery time than women. This may be because men’s immune systems tend to overreact.   

“It isn’t always the presence of the microbe or the presence of the virus that makes us sick,” said Sabra Klein, associate professor of molecular microbiology and immunology in an interview. “It’s our immune response, and the research shows that males have a heightened response that summons cells to the site of infection, which contributes to the overall feeling of sickness.” 

6. WOMEN TEND TO TALK MORE THAN MEN  

Not to enforce a stereotype, women don’t necessarily talk more than men, but they do talk more with their coworkers than men do.  

This is according to a study from Harvard that included 42 men and 37 women – all students. The study found that the women actually talked more with their colleagues than men, especially when they needed to finish a project.  

7. WOMEN ARE NOT AS CAPABLE TO SEE RAPIDLY MOVING OBJECTS AS MEN  

According to one study published in the Biology of Sex Differences, men are better than women at seeing distant moving objects. The psychology professor behind the study is Israel Abramov who believes that this fact complements the idea that men and women had evolved differently in the past.  

Men, who were hunters, needed to focus more and pay attention to fast-moving animals, as opposed to women, who were gatherers, and needed to differentiate between different colors and shades. So, men have more developed visual cortex than women and more hand-eye coordination.  

8. WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO DONATE TO CHARITY THAN MEN 

This also goes to the whole evolutionary process with women being the caregivers in the family. So, they are more likely to give than men.  

Moreover, Debra Mesch from the Women’s Philanthropy Institute says that women are also more empathetic and more altruistic than men.

10 Things A Girl Who Has Lost Her Father Wants You To Know

By
Mary Wright

When I was 15 I lost my dad. Now, 10 years later, the pain still lingers within me. I know that I am not the only one that goes through this, that there are many children out there who lost their dads too.

However, during these 10 years that I spent without my dad, I learned valuable lessons. And I want to share some of these things with my friends that I want them to know.  

1. Ask About My Dad

Don’t be afraid to ask about my dad. I want to talk about him, I want to share my memories with him with the world. When you ask me about him my heart fills with joy that someone is interested in knowing him. Just pardon me if I break out in tears – this happens every time I talk about him.

2. Listen

Understand that sometimes all I need is someone who listens. When I have a rough day and I need to talk with a friend – be that friend. You don’t even have to say something in return, just your listening ear and your presence are more than enough.  

3. Pardon My Silence 

I am sorry for my moments of silence anytime you talk about your father. I don’t mean to look harsh and uninterested, or to make you feel like your words are unimportant to me. The thing is, every time you talk about your dad it brings old memories with my dad, and it is hard for me not to burst out in tears.   

4. Please Don’t Try To Understand My Heartache

Because the truth is you cannot understand my pain unless you have lost a parent too. But, I appreciate your effort. I really do.

5. Forgive Me For I Am Broken

When my dad left me, he took a piece of my heart and soul with him. So, forgive me for the times when I bleed from that missing piece and you might see a different side of me. If you see changed, like I am not myself – understand that I am in pain. Because the loss of a parent changes a person entirely.

6. Please Don’t Take Your Dad For Granted

Call him today and tell him how much you love him. Because the thing is, you might not have tomorrow. I wish I had one last conversation with my dad. Don’t make the mistake to take him for granted. Appreciate him every day.

7. Always Tell Him You Love Him

Even when you are arguing and you ‘hate’ him in that moment, in a few hours when you cool off, you will realize how unnecessary it was to fight with your dad. So, before you decide to slam the door and walk out the room, count to ten, and remember that he is your dad and he loves you. Say you love him too.

8. Make Memories

Don’t say you don’t have time. Make time. You Should always make time for people that are important to you. You will cherish those memories in the years to follow.

9. I Am Jealous Of You

I admit it – I am jealous that you have your dad and I don’t. I know it is selfish and I certainly don’t want to feel this way. I am happy for you, I don’t want you to experience the same pain as me. But, understand that whenever I see you and your dad together it cuts me like a knife.

10. I Am Here For You Too

If you get heart-broken remember that I will be there. Just call me and I’ll be there. I will listen to you and wipe your tears because that’s what you did for me when I was hurting, and you still do.

I love you.

8 Reasons Why You SHOULD Sleep Naked

By
Mary Wright

When it comes to sleeping we all have different sleeping habits. Some love their PJs, some are happy in their old T-shirts with a comfy underwear, and some are perfectly fine sleeping in the nude.

According to studies, only 10% of people sleep naked. This is surprising given the wonderful health benefits that sleeping naked provides.

If you too are not very comfortable going nude – here are 8 reasons to convince you!  

1. LOWER RISK OF YEAST INFECTIONS

By sleeping naked you reduce the risk of getting a yeast infection because your vaginal area airs out and ‘breathes.’ And since yeast needs moist and warm conditions to grow, when your vagina is all dried and cooled – it prevents yeast infections.

2. ANTI-AGING EFFECTS

Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen – sleeping naked keeps you young. The reason for this is that by maintaining the temperature to around 68-70 degrees we improve the function of the melatonin and the anti-aging hormones.

And while being warm at night is important for some people – you must remember that by keeping your body temperature warm with clothes, you stop the process of the anti-aging hormones.

3. BETTER SEX LIFE

This one goes without explanation. When you think that you both lie naked together and with all oxytocin that is released – you can be sure that your sex life would improve drastically.

4. IMPROVES SELF-CONFIDENCE

By sleeping naked your self-confidence will grow rapidly because you’ll get more comfortable in your own skin and more comfortable with your body as well. This leads to a major boost in self-confidence.

5. REGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATURE

Your body needs to be cool at night. This reduces the levels of cortisol, which is responsible for your appetite. So, not getting enough sleep can lead to overeating, lowered libido, and increased belly fat.

6. IMPROVED SKIN HEALTH

With sleeping naked your skin will breathe. You will release your skin from the unnecessary pressure that clothes can make to it. So, let your skin breathe and experience the great benefits that go with it such as reduced skin diseases and shinier and healthy-looking skin.

7. EASE OF MIND

It just feels easier to sleep without clothes on. You don’t have to worry about buying pajamas or finding clean ones. Just take off your clothes and get comfortable!

8. HAPPINESS

With the reduction of the stress hormone cortisol and the much-improved relaxation of the body, you can just add the cherry on the top by not worrying about pants, underwear, or the dreaded bra.

Well if this doesn’t make you happy, what can?

The Most Disturbing Anti-Skipping School Ad You’ll Ever See

By
Elizabeth Williams

Before you decide to watch this video, a few words of warning: This video is graphic, not safe for work, and gets brutal – so viewer discretion is advised.

This Australian Public Service Announcement video named “Set Yourself Free” shows two carefree couples that decide to skip school and head for the beach instead. The video lives up to the whole ‘setting oneself free’ ideology until bodies start piling up.

The question is, why would anybody try to make a point this way and what does this video really say? It is a bit extreme to put skipping school and the consequence of being blown up at a bomb-testing site in the same context, but the video creators Henry and Aaron explain, that’s exactly the point.

Comedians and filmmaking duo Henry Inglis and Aaron McCann have a history of producing disturbing advertisements and they like to characterize their style as “violent with a WTF factor.”

“Two comedians can’t really do ‘normal’ and ‘safe’,” said McCann in an interview with Slate. The question that remains, though, is whether they were trying to prove a point that students should not skip school, or they wanted to ridicule the exaggerated ‘consequences’ of not going to school.

It’s true that school is important. However, the importance people and governments give to school nowadays is so exaggerated that one simply need ask: is it so?

When you see that some of the most successful people have turned out to be school dropouts, and when you consider how dry and irrelevant schools have become in the recent years, it’s only fair to ask: do we need school as much as we think we do?

Education and knowledge are important. However, proper investment and continual evolution of the educational system is paramount. Without the latter, education becomes nothing more than a struggle for a piece of paper with numbers and letters written on.

So, while it’s not a wise choice to skip school, investing in yourself is very important – even if it means going against some of the rules that are imposed.

If you’re a parent, make sure your child learns relevant and up-to-date information; if you’re a student, make sure you invest in the knowledge you’ll need and don’t pay too much attention to the grades – they are as irrelevant as the idea that numbers make our lives richer.

15 Things To Thank Your Best Friend For

By
Mary Wright

I can proudly say that I have amazing friends. We are different but in a weird way we are also alike. No matter if our friendship is old or new, all my close friends do wonderful things for me that I sometimes forget to thank them for.

So, this is for all my friends who I didn’t thank them enough.

1. Thank You For Making Sure I Get Home Safe

Because anytime we go out I feel safe. No matter how much we drink, we are there for each other. And I know that I’ll always get home safe because you care enough to not let me out on my own when there is too much alcohol in my blood.

2. Thank You For Being Always There For Me & Not Just When It Is Convenient For You

I know that if I call you at 3 am and tell you that I need you, you will undoubtedly come running to me. I know that we all have our separate lives and problems, but knowing that you have someone at your side who you can always count on is the most comforting feeling in the world.

3. Thank You For Telling Me Honestly When I Look Like Sh*t

I love that I can always count on your honest opinion about everything. You know me so well, and you know what suits me best and what not. You are the first one to tell me when my hair looks awful, and thank you for that.  

4. Thank You For Wiping My Tears

The truth is life gets hard sometimes. But it is a lot harder when I don’t have you by my side to tell me that everything will be okay. Thank you for all those time you were with me even when you didn’t know what to say – wiping my tears was enough. Because even without words we understand each other.

5. Thank You For Inspiring Me To Come Out Of My Shell

I know that I can be a bitch sometimes and ignore you because I can’t seem to convince myself to leave the house. Thank you for your tolerance and persistence to get me out of my shell and into the world.

6. Thank You For Not Allowing Me To Drunk Text/Call

Thank you for all the times you took my phone and didn’t let me to drunk text somebody. You have saved me from a lot of embarrassment. I also thank you for not letting me call my mother and worry her even more.

7. Thank You For All The Stomach Aches From Laughing

Because when I am with you, the laughter is inevitable, and it literally causes me physical pain. With you, I can laugh about anything.

8. Thank You For Making A Great Deal Out Of My Birthday

The more we grow older, the less excited we get. But with you – I actually feel like my birthday matters. You make me feel like a star the whole week of my birthday and I love you for that.  

9. Thank You For Keeping Tampons In Your Bag Because You Know How Forgetful I Can Be

You know how irresponsible I can be when it comes to these things. And it helps that we are synced, so I know I can count on you to help me out with tampons when I forget to bring them with me.

10. Thank You For All Our Drunk Karaoke Shows At 3 am

Because we both know that there isn’t anything better than getting back from a night in town and keep partying the way we know – singing and dancing like there’s no tomorrow. Besides, who wouldn’t like a 3 am karaoke show?

11. Thank You For Sensing When Something Is Wrong

You always know when I don’t feel like talking and all I want to do is be alone. Thank you for asking me times and times again what’s wrong with me until I tell you. Also, thank you for never leaving my side until we solve every issue.  

12. Thank You For Liking The Same TV Shows As Me

Because what would a Bachelor/ette wine night look like without you? Or who would be crazy enough to re-watch all 236 episodes of Friends if it weren’t for you?  

13. Thank You For Reminding Me I Have An Important Meeting

Thank you and I love you for all the times you told me to shower because I had to be in a meeting in an hour.

14. Thank You For Sharing My Happiness When Something Good Happens In My Life

You are happy for me and ready to celebrate my every success. Envy and jealousy are things that can’t be attributed to you. You know how hard I worked for something, and my success makes you even more excited and happy than me.

15. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.

Never change who you are. I love you.
