5 Signs That You Should Probably Stop Being Friends With Someone
Joshua Sazon

There is a time in everyone's life where you end relations with a friend. Whether it is because of distance or no longer having things in common, we can't stop it even if we want to. If you are having any complications, think of how each person treats each other and if some of those qualities seem to be less than desirable. There are many fish in the seas, but you shouldn't have to tug another along. Here are some signs that you might want to take a look at if you are anyone you know is in this situation.

1. They only talk to you when they want something.

How often do you hang out with your friend(s)? Is it only when they want to hang out. Are they asking you for things? To do things for them? This may not be healthy. In a friendship, I would believe that both people would make the effort to talk to one another on their own terms or just enjoy each others company. But if he/she isn't interested in the time spent in the friendship, then you shouldn't have to worry about it.

2. You're the only one making an effort.

This can be a huge determining factor in a friendship. Are you the one trying to organize times to hang out? Are you doing most of the planning? Are you constantly going over to them? Do you do things for them that they don't acknowledge? Then maybe they just aren't interested in being friends anymore. It's not worth it to waste your own time trying to make them feel better. Because they wouldn't care either way.

3. They disrespect you.

Respect is a big thing that can go a long way. Respect, I believe, is a key ingredient in any relationship you may have. Whether this is an intimate relationship or a friendship, it is important. If someone starts to disrespect you, you should really stop and wonder why your "friend" had made you feel that way.

4. They are clingy.

This is not so much of a bad thing, as it might be annoying. If at first you want to hang out or join your group of friends (if you have one) that is fine. But if they start bugging you 24/7 then there might be a sign for you to have a conversation with them about this situation so it can get resolved instead of being dragged on forever.

5. They curse you out.

This is the last and final straw. If someone is your friend, they should at least have respect for you and never dare to curse you out. If you have a friend like this, then it is clear that you don't mean anything to them. Friends people you can hang out with on a daily basis and feel happy, but adding negativity into your life is something a friend shouldn't do.

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.
