10 Reasons Why You Don't Need Him Anymore

If you are anything like me, then you don't like to give up on the things that are important to you. Chances are, the guy you are with is one of those things. When you met, things probably were going great. He treated you like the princess you are, showered you with attention, and kept you coming back for more. As time goes on, these things probably became few and far between. Maybe he started getting distant, blowing you off, or just not treating you the way you deserve. Because of who you are, you have held on. Held on for dear life. He is important, so you can't just give up on him...even if he is making you sad or making you question yourself.

1. Time and time again, he lets you down

He gets your hopes up, just to tear them down.

2. His actions are making you question yourself

He is being flakey, and it is making you think that something is wrong with you. There isn't. He is the one with the problem. Don't let his actions make you think that you aren't good enough.

3. He keeps making promises he doesn't keep

Again, he builds up your hope, just to let you down. You keep hoping that for once he will come through, but he isn't, and he probably won't.

4. Your relationship is holding you back

You can't spread your wings. It’s important to be true to yourself. Figure out who you are and who you want to be, regardless if he is in the picture. A relationship that keeps you from growing isn’t the best one for you.

5. You keep waiting for him to change

You want him to be the way he was when you first got together. Unfortunately, that behavior was most likely just for the "honeymoon" stage. His true colors have shown. You are now trying to change him to fit your expectations, instead of accepting him as the person he is.

6. You keep having the same argument, but nothing changes

I did what I could to make it work out, but it always stopped at the same end. Twice, you might want to give another chance. But three times is a clear sign something is wrong.

7. He doesn't make you happy anymore

You used to get so excited to be around him, and he made you the happiest girl in the world. Now, he just doesn't. Don't let someone else be in charge of your own happiness.

8. You're living in the past

You have to think about all the good things that happened in the relationship to make you happy. You use them to make yourself think that you want to be with him and that things will get better. You're creating a false reality.

9. He makes you feel bad for what he has done

When you confront him about something, somehow it ends up coming back on you.

10. He isn't putting any effort into the relationship

It's all on you. If you want to hangout, you have to ask. It has become a one-sided relationship.

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.
