10 Things That Happen When You Are In A Long Term Relationship

We all know that couple who have been together for years and who we can't see breaking up. You're never able to see the one person without the other. They are the dynamic duo, each other's confidant and each other's best friend. You could possibly wonder how they can stand each other for that long, but they love it and you love seeing them happy. This list is about all of the things that happen when two love birds are together for a very, very long time.


1. You stop caring about what you look like.

They've seen you at your worst and if they still love you after you were such a mess, then you don't have to try to impress them anymore. The perk is that you can lounge around in sweats without showering and they will still cuddle you.


2. You become part of their family.

After dating for so long, you've met the family and you visit them regularly with your significant other. Soon, you are texting them like they are your own and you're invited to every single function that your significant other is invited to. Who doesn't like to have a second family that doubles as your cheering squad? If you're lucky enough, you'll make the family Christmas card.


3. Your friends wonder where your significant other is when you show up by yourself.

You casually wonder if your friends like your significant other more than you.


4. You become an amazing dynamic duo.

You're the best team to ever exist. Life is fun with them by your side.


5. Valentine's day is whatever.

You've spent a lot of Valentine's Days together and you've given countless gifts throughout your relationship. A home cooked dinner or even a sweet card will just about do it for you. The holiday becomes irrelevant when you show your love for each other on every day of the year, not just one.


6. You can be as weird as you want to be around them.

"Was that a weird thing to say? He probably thinks that I'm so strange." Two years later and you're sitting next to each other in your underwear while eating peanut butter out of the jar.


7. You feel betrayed when your significant other watches an episode of your favorite Netflix series without you.

You guys have binge watched Netflix instead of going out more times than you can count. So, when your boyfriend/girlfriend says, "I watched it without you," you feel a knot in your stomach. You what?


8. You start to think about your future with them.

It's a scary topic for anyone, but you could see spending a majority of your life with them. You may have already even gotten the awkward, "When are you two getting married?" from each other's families.


9. They make you happy.

They surprise you with your favorite Ben and Jerry's ice cream when you've had a bad day, they go along with your extravagant ideas for a paired Halloween costume while only rolling their eyes a couple of times, and they have come to love and embrace your passions and dreams.


10. You love them unconditionally.

You have grown as a couple and loving each other through it is the best part.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
