20 things all guys NEED To know, according To my best friends And I

1. Whether you're an ex, a current or a future, TELL US WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

We can't read your mind. Don't just assume we know how you think or feel about us. If you're feeling something, be upfront about it. We hate having to guess or be unsure. Chances are if you're honest with how you're feeling, something good is going to come from it!

2. Never underestimate the importance of small gestures.

We're girls, we notice everything. Every door you hold, every chair you push in, that cute little smirk you give us... We LOVE it all and it does not go unnoticed. Keep those cute little things coming!

3. We tell our girlfriends everything.

Next time you think to send a dumb text, think again. It's going STRAIGHT to the girl's group message. This goes for cute things too. Chances are if you send something really sweet, that's also going straight to the group message. We like keeping our girls in the loop.

4. Also, we find out everything.

If I ask you about it, there's about a 99% chance I already know the answer. So you best be telling us the truth G D***IT!

5. Please don't point it out when we are PMS'ing.

If it's almost that time of the month, you will probably know, and we obviously do too. Don't point it out!

6. At the end of the day after all the fights and passive aggressive texts, end the day on a good note. Never let her go to bed unhappy.

Letting her go to bed upset is never a good idea. Try to work things out before then and begin the next day with a fresh start.

7. Treat her how you would treat your mama.

'Nuff said.

8. We are sensitive to certain things because of circumstances in our past relationships.

Our past experiences with guys effect us more than you may think. We may not be upset about those things so much anymore, but we do look for red flags when it comes to how we have felt in the past.

9. There is a difference between confidence and cockiness.

Confidence is sexy. Cockiness is not.

10. The way you treat my friends is just as important as the way you treat me.

Be good to all of us. Their opinion of you matters so much.

11. NICE GUYS DON'T FINISH LAST.

That old cliche saying that "nice guys always finish last..." SO FALSE. BE A GOOD GUY WITH A GOOD HEART and you're going to end up with the absolute best woman. We promise.

12. When you are good with kids...and you play well with kids... and you talk about wanting kids in the future...Lord help us all.

I don't even need a description. You get the point.

13. If you don't want anything with me, be upfront about it. Girls hate dishonesty.

There's nothing worse than being blindsided or lied to. Tell us straight up. It's better than finding out something different later on.

14. Having a relationship with Jesus and not being afraid to show it is extremely attractive.

We don't have to believe the same things. We don't have to go to the same church service. If this is something you're scared of, don't be. Girls swoon over a man who isn't afraid to take her to church and pray with her.

15. Girls pray for guys.

I pray for my future husband almost every single day. Believe or not, I pray for my exes as well. I pray for their happiness, their well being, their health, and their futures-- even if it doesn't include me in it.

16. There are few greater things than you smelling good.

Get some good cologne and please wear it when you're with us. Please!!!

17. If you tell us to "calm down," we are going to do the exact opposite.

There's nothing that makes us more upset than telling us to "calm down," or "chill out." Just don't do it.

18. If we've ever been cheated on, we're going to be extra cautious of that and may even have trust issues at times.

Don't fault us for this. There are few things worse than placing all of your trust in someone and having that taken away from you.

19. Amazing girls don't come around often.

If you have that, hold onto it and don't take advantage of it. You're probably going to regret it later if you let go of someone really, really special.

20. Tell us cute things that remind you of us.

Whether it's a place we've been, a song or an experience you're having, we love to hear that you're thinking of us.

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.
