Actions Speak Louder Than Words

"Tell 'em boy bye"

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

A lot of men are probably guilty of this at some point in their lives when their actions always speak louder than their words--you know who you are. It's a guilty thing guys do to keep their girls wrapped around their finger, and all of us "girls" have fallen for it at some point. Girls may do it by saying a white lie to impress guys; I admit that I've done it. But why do we do it?

It's a guilty verbal pleasure they have on us girls; they feel as if they have more control if they tell us what we want to hear. But we've got news for you boys: we are not stupid.

We start to figure it out as time passes and you tell us you're going to do something--whether it be a trip or a special date--and you guys end up ditching because you are scared of commitment and 'oh my god' someone actually caring about you and wanting to spend time with you--how dreadful.

Sometimes I think they mean what they say but they are too scared to appreciate, too scared of having commitment because they want to be free. But the real fact of the matter is that we, as women, have to see that and "tell 'em boy bye." If he is not hanging, he is not staying.

Always go with your gut, ladies. You should never have to ask a man to show his appreciation for you or show that he cares; and if you do, run girl run! I'm telling you, don't stay and think that things are going to change, because they aren't, and you deserve better for yourself.

In the end, we all figure out our wants and our needs, and if there's no show and just words, you better know to flip that page and go on with the next chapter in life. You deserve so much more than that.

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.
