Adding Clarity into Your Relationship

Why does everything have to be complicated?

Don't you hate it when you and someone else aren't on the same page about something? Yeah, me too.

I think one of the major things that needs to be a good foundation or law in dating a person is clarity. Clarity does not need to just be address in one of the first dates, but in almost every date after that. The reason why I'm saying all this is because I think that is being lost in dating nowadays. Women and men are getting upset over things that could have been completely solved if there was clarity in the relationship.

In the beginning of a relationship, there needs to be clarity when talking about the type of relationship that you want to have and also where you want this to go. There also needs to be clarity about big decisions or situations such as kids, jobs, friends, family, etc. Point being, there really just needs to be clarity all up in that relationship.

Life is already pretty tough when you aren't on the same page with a classmate or coworker about a project or something. We don't need to add a lot of extra tough things to our relationships. Relationships are meant to be joyful and genuine. You want to spend time with someone that makes you happy and makes your life better. Not all relationships are going to lead to marriage, but the point of them is that you are making that person a better person and that you're getting the same in return.

As humans, we tend to make things as we call it "complicated" when it comes to dating. But honestly, everything is quite simple once you break it down. You either like him or you don't. You either want to go to the restaurant or you want to go bowling. You either want her to meet you there or you want to pick her up. Now, not everything is super easy to decide on and takes some time to think about, but when you add more clarity to the relationship, you are decreasing the number of hurt feelings on both ends of the stick.

Treat each other as you would want to be treated, and remember that you are both human. We know what hurts and what makes us feel better. Find that out about your partner and get some more clarity going on in the relationship. It's worth it.

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.
