Advice To All The Girls In The Friend Zone

You don't know how to keep him and you don't know how to let him go.

Advice To All The Girls In The Friend Zone

No matter how many times he says he doesn’t love you, you still seem to not care. You look beyond the terrible comments, the idiocy that he shows and hatred he has for love. Even though you have told him several million times how much you despise his actions, and you tell yourself you’re not going back to him, you still do.

But why? Why would you go back to something that doesn’t make you happy? It’s simple: because he’s something that is consistent in your life. Every weekend you could go out and meet and talk to guys, but in the end you find yourself back at his place because no matter how drunk in emotions he is, you’re still going to stand by his side and help him.

He has his good days and his bad days. When he makes you dinner just because he can and it’s romantic, then he ignores you another day just because he is hanging out with his friends... you just can’t win. You don’t know how to keep him but you don’t know how to let him go. He’s stubborn and selfish but fun to hang out with and creative. He speaks his mind and says things that upsets you, but yet he’ll know how to get you wrapped around his finger again without hesitation.

You realize that you don’t want a relationship with him because not only is he about to graduate, but you also would never want a relationship with someone who doesn’t love you the same. So what do you do about this whole situation? The perfect answer is nothing.

If he’s truly hurting you and making your life absolutely miserable, then say goodbye. You don’t need that type of negativity in your life, and also you don’t need to cry every night.

If you’re having a half decent time though and enjoy spending time with him and just hate the way he acts 50 percent of the time, then stay. Why leave if you enjoy having a friend around? By staying and speaking your mind, you are showing him the love and compassion that he never has seemed to receive, and also you are not letting him get away with everything. Men love having power, so the key thing is to not let him have power. When that happens, then he will start to realize not to treat girls the way he has been. It also may change his attitude towards love.

You will never know the impact you have on him until finally you’re gone and he misses you (if that ever happens). So, my advice, stay and show him what he’ll miss.

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.
