5 Reasons Why You Are Better Without Them
Science-all.com

Friends and boyfriends / girlfriends are a huge part of life. Without them, many lessons pertaining to love, loyalty and other friend qualities would not be learned. However, friends and boyfriends sometimes do not say in your life. In fact, certain relationships can even be toxic. It is super important to know when to call it quits when it comes to relationships with anyone.

When you do call it quits, it will hurt. When a friend stops wanting to be your friend it will sting. If you and your significant other split, the pain will be severe. However, there are so many reasons why you are better off without them.

1. They probably did not appreciate you.

Chances are if they walked out of your life or vice versa, they didn't realize what they had. You are the type of person who would do anything for the people you care about, but they did not see this until it was too late. You deserve someone who sees all of your amazing qualities and someone who appreciates all you do for them. I promise you that it will come.

2. They brought you down.

If your friend makes you feel like shit, then they aren't your real friends. Friends are supposed to support you and build you up. (This doesn't mean they should glorify things or not tell you when they disagree.) Don't forget that friends aren't supposed to critic and judge everything you do. That is not their job.

3. They never paid their share.

These people are known as "moochers." They never pay at meals or for anything, they always leave it up to you. They say that they will pay you back but it never happens. Cut those people out of your life. They will drive you mad and not to mention broke.

4. Your parents don't like them.

This is a crucial sign into whether you should keep them as a friend or significant other. Parents are usually a good judge of character. If they don't like your friend or boyfriend / girlfriend, then chances are things won't work out. Parents have a huge impact on how we live our lives. I mean they did bring you into this world after all. Try to trust their judgement for the most part.

5. All you do is get wasted together.

People have fun together in different ways, I get drinking is fun, but if that is all you guys do there is nothing positive about that. They probably don't directly pressure you, but their presence does. There are plenty of other ways to have fun and create a bond. If all you do is get high or drunk, then that is just a self destructive relationship and you need to get rid of it.

I hope this helped you guys see why certain people are not worth all the effort, and why they aren't worth you!

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.
