I have spent hours upon hours staring at a blank screen, typing and deleting, spinning around aimlessly on my chair trying to figure out why this was so hard for me to come up with something that I hate to complain about; which should have been easy considering I am a teenage girl. Then it hit me- it's complaining that I can’t stand.

If it irks you so incredibly much that you have to go out of your way to rant about it, find a solution. Sure I completely understand the need of an occasional vent to release all the built up stress and anger in a volcanic eruption of words, but what I am talking about it a full fetch constant complaint. I mean really, what’s the use of complaining? What good could it possibly do? If your goal is just to make others equally miserable and engrossed in your sorrows, then congratulations on a mission well accomplished. Complaints are just a big waste of time.

Now this would be just a complaint about complaining but I have a solution! The way I see it, if it bothers you so much then fix it. Solve the problem. Easier said than done, right? Wrong. I’m not saying solve world hunger or find a way to wedge an extra day of relaxation in between Sunday and Monday, I am advocating for a step in the right direction to a solution. Just simply asking yourself, “what can I do to improve this situation?” It’s really that easy. That is my solution, to advice you, to urge you, to call you to action, in hopes that you make this world a better place- by solving one complaint at a time.
