11 Stages Of Dating An Outspoken Opinionated Person
mic.com

When you date someone who is not only an outspoken person but also very opinionated the relationship can get a little rocky. You might feel like you have to warn people before meeting them, "Please do not get offended, they really don't mean any harm." Honestly, you don’t fully understand why they can have such a spirited debate on the smallest issues, but you do learn to love them... in stages.

1. It catches you by surprise.

You had no idea your adorable crush was such a talker. Either you were blinded by love or they were waiting for the perfect time to spring it on you.

2. You think it's funny and cute.

"Ehh it's no big deal..." You think all their ideas are cute or funny, and you just laugh when they spiral off into a tangent.

3. You actually start listening to what they’re saying.

You finally understand why they're always making people upset. You're adorable loved one is kind of offensive.

4. The arguing begins.

Now that you're actually listening you realize you two don’t actually agree on much.

5. You politely warn them to be good at social gatherings.

Certain topics are off limits because you know it will only set them off.

6. You realize that they are crazy.


You now realize that you're dating a crazy person who has a completely different understanding of how the world works or at least they say they do.

7. You begin contemplating your relationship.

Can you be in a relationship with someone with such strong opinions on everything from governmental conspiracies to peanut butter brands.

8. You know they're worth it!

You begrudgingly decide that these little differences make you two who you are. And because they feel so strongly about everything they are crazy over you.

9. You learn to embrace it.

You no longer feel the need to warn people (as much). You let them be who they are because in the end there’s nothing you can do about it anyways.

10. You are surprised when they don’t care about something.

On the rare occasion that this happens you are very suspicious.

11. You are never bored.

They can find enjoyment out of the little things you'll always have something to talk about.

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.
