Relationships are like jobs, trust me it is a job! A full time unpaid job. I can tell you from experience. How do you know if you are ready for a relationship?

Well, honestly I didn't enter my first relationship until I was a freshman in high school four years ago and we have been together ever since. Being in a relationship is hard because it takes time, it takes commitment, it takes patience, it takes two, it takes work!
When I was a 13 year old girl i didn't know what a relationship was I just knew everyone was in one and it seemed like fun! Man was I wrong, I mean don't get me wrong it was fun sometimes but honestly I wish I was playing with my toys (yes I still played with toys at 13 don't judge me)

So to answer the question here are 11 signs you are ready for a relationship

1. Being a good sport

If you were ready for a relationship you would be a good sport. What do I mean by being a good sport? I mean a relationship take two people not one person. Since their are two people in one relationship each individual must give 100 percent not 50 I feel 50 is too low so each individual must be willing to put there all into a relationship. Admit it we are all human so we all make mistakes if your partner messes up forgive them and move on if you really care about them move on and don't stay stuck in the pass

2. Communication is a must

My boyfriend always stresses this because communication is the most important thing in a relationship and now honestly I know what he means. If you can not communicate then you don't need to be together. Communication is what holds the relationship together its like the spine of the body. Communication can make or break a relationship just like the spine if you broke your spin then you may be unable to move and become paralyzed.

3. Acceptance

Acceptance is a must. If you can not accept your partner for who they are and there decisions then you don't need to be in a relationship. Honestly, I accept my boyfriend for who he is a person flaws and all (although he doesn't have many.)

4. Trust

Trust is very important in a relationship. If you have "trust issues" then do not enter a relationship! I repeat do not enter a relationship if you are going to question every thing you partner does.

5. Ex

If your ex partner is still an important factor in your life you do not need to enter a new relationship. In any shape or form should you and your ex partner be in contact once you are in a new relationship.

6. Self esteem

Do you have high self esteem or low self esteem? Self esteem is basically how you feel about your self as a person. If your self esteem is high then you can better your partner and your self you guys can grow together. There is no need to be negative.

7. Negativity

Why enter a relationship if you are not going to have positive thoughts or opinions? You should not enter a relationship if you are filled with negative energy. A relationship is supposed to be happy and positive not sad and negative.

8. Problems

Every relationship has problems. But are you willing to deal with the problems as a couple? If you are not wiling to deal with the problems big or small then do not enter a relationship!

9. Lies

Do you lie? If you lie a lot and can not stop then please do not enter a relationship.Lying is bad and I know for a fact that your partner is not going to approve of the negatity behind your lies. How would you feel if your partner lied to you?

10. Differences

Do you dislike people say no to you or when others do not agree with your great ideals? If you do not like this then do not enter a relationship. Trust me my boyfriend do not always let me get my way. And he does not always agree with me. He has his own mindset and opinions.

11. Take care of yourself

Why on earth would someone want to be with some one who is a slob? Someone who doesn't get there hair done or hygiene is bad? I know I would not! If you know you do not take good care of your self then start!

If you are ready for a full time job then a relationship is right for you! Being in a relationship is a lot of work but it is worth it!

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.
