28 Truths for Hopeless Romantics

We watch Disney princesses fall in love with teary doe-eyes. We bawl through each blockbuster drama and can't get enough romantic comedy in our lives. We are the hopeless romantics, and we know what love is. Even though our emotional spectrum can't be quantified, we have these 28 truths to share.

1. We know exactly what we want.

Thanks to movies we have unrealistic expectations.

2. We won't settle.

You probably aren't going to cut it.

3. Friends constantly set us up on blind dates, all of which are miserable.

But then someone new comes along.


Well hello gorgeous.

5. And we get our hopes up.


This is the one. This is who I will marry.

6. Every interaction is the potential "perfect moment."

Hence why we always look our best.

7. But we can't seem to find "the one."


How can I marry someone who doesn't like coffee? It's over.

8. Everyone gets annoyed with our love lives.

And when we talk about our loneliness.

9. So we try casual dating to please our friends.

"Casual" meaning true love, right?

10. We tend to make things dramatic.


*hair flip*

11. We break out in song when we're in love.

...I say a little prayer for you...

12. And we think every storm is a sign.


Pneumonia is worth the rain kiss.

13. We'll most likely never find someone as hopelessly romantic as us.


But we secretly like it.

14. Seeing others in love can be a bit difficult.


That should have been ME!

15. We live by terrible love clichés.


"Love will set you free."

16. And we've all secretly practiced our "Titanic" arms.


Jack! I'm flying!

17. Choreographed dance numbers with friends is a normal occurrence.

Dancing is a romantic-comedy staple.

18. Heck, dance numbers with strangers is just as normal.


You make my dreams come true.

19. We feel a deep connection with "young love."

We were all there at one point.

20. We are painfully aware that we might not get what we want.

Because life isn't fair, you know?

21. But we have hope that our time is coming.


My perfect someone is out there; I just know it.

22. The words "happily ever after" ruined us as children.

Yeah, thanks a lot, Disney.

23. But we still believe in the magic of love. And can't stand the naysayers.

You can't handle the truth!

24. Old couples are our heroes.


*sigh* I want that.

25. And you wish dating could go back to the old traditions.


What is this "Tinder?"

26. We know the pain will be worth it one day even if it is hard now.


You will ALL see that I was right.

27. Because our love will last.


"Till death do us part."

28. And we will have finally found our home.

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.
