He'll say he's just friends with like a trillion girls and they're just at the library studying...

Then he'll hook up with her and somehow make you feel bad for him.

He'll act like he's extremely attentive and that he's hearing everything you're saying and taking it at its face value, but then he'll use it all against you and find a way to twist every word you ever said.

He'll say he's clean and he's always been clean, then somewhere down the line, he'll cry afterwards telling you he lied and somehow again he makes you feel bad for him.


Giphy


He'll act like he's trying to better himself and act like he's found it in his heart to be the compassionate loving person you've known him to be at his best.

Then he'll get stressed or bored and show you he's the same immature child he was before.

Giphy


He'll act like he's figured himself out and he's trying to find a way to appreciate himself, but he'll leave the burden to you to constantly support him and build him up.

Giphy


He'll tell you that the two of you have differences, but a great love like this will overcome.

Then he'll say he's thought about it more and it's just impossible...

He'll say that you're his world and that nothing can come between you, but the second he talks to his mother whatever she says is more important than how he feels.

He'll say he's strong enough to deal with the pressure, then he'll crumble under it like the weak man you've known him to be at his worst.


Giphy


He was always the nice guy. Everyone said he was so sweet, but they didn't know how his changes of heart and his dishonesty would come to tear you apart inside. He'll say he's going to be more honest and he knows how to keep from hurting you this time, that his love is enough.

But over time it will fade. Every promise, every word. He'll slowly become more distant, but continue to tell you everything is fine. He'll know exactly what he's doing cause that's what the nice guys do. They lie. They may be "nice" but last I checked nice just means coward who doesn't know how to love himself let alone anyone else.

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.
