5 Reasons Why You Should Date A Writer
az616578.vo.msecnd.net

Susan Sontag once said, "A writer, I think, is someone who pays attention to the world." Beautiful. Well said and perfectly summarized.

Writers are forgetful, yet they remember every little detail about you. The way you smile, the way your favorite perfume smells, after you wore it for a few hours, how you like your coffee and what kind of mood you are in when you listening to a specific kind of music.

Writers will forget appointments. They will forget birthday parties and anniversaries, but they will be able to tell you everything about that first moment they laid eyes on you. They will be able to tell you, what you wore and how your hair looked. They will be able to tell you, what color shirt you had on and how well it matched your pants. They will remember what you ordered at the restaurant, what you had for dinner together for the very first time. They will remember every single word you used to describe the things you loved.

Writers will forget all those simple tasks, like taking out the trash, watering the plants and ironing your favorite shirt. But they will never forget how to make you laugh. They will never forget about the things you enjoy most and the things that make you tear up.

Date a writer, and I am not just saying that, because I am one. Date a writer, because it is the best thing that will ever happen to you.

Not only do we know everything about where to find the best coffee shops, the best notebooks and the kind of pens, that will last the longest. We also know how to appreciate all the little things. We don't need much to be happy. We can turn everything into a story (even a break up) and we can write you love letters, that will most likely make you ask yourself why you never dated a writer before.

If you are still not convinced, here are five more reasons.

1. Writers are honest.

2. We always express exactly how we feel. (No guessing. Yay!)

3. There will never be a dull moment.

4. We are homebodies.

5. We are passionate.

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.
