Advice For The New Girlfriend
Brickhousechick

He's moved on and after many months, I feel as if I have too. When I found out he had moved on, I honestly was surprised in myself for not feeling any hatred. I felt a sense of happiness -- actual happiness. I am happy that he is happy because he deserves the best. He was the right person, but we met at the wrong time. We were both too young and had so much more to learn. While we were together, I learned so much about him, what makes him excited, what ticks him off and exactly how he loves. We had so many plans together, an entire future planned out, but sadly that all came to an end. Our relationship failed and though it is sad, he has moved on, he will find another girl, and I just ask of you to love him with everything you have inside.

He's not an easy guy to love. In fact, it was a challenge towards the end. He shows emotions, but he hardly shows anger. He doesn't express himself as much as he should, but he knows this and he will work on it. He dips like crazy (literally any moment he can have, he will pack a lip). Don't let this get to you, it's just a habit he has. He's a great football player, so support him any chance you get because this is his last year of high school and he'll love to see you there. Most importantly, he'll make you feel beautiful, even when you think you're not. Don't push him to do things he doesn't want to, trust me it'll never work out good. Don't get frustrated when he gets mad because you want to continue taking pictures, he's just a guy. Most of all, don't get mad at him when he wants to go out with the boys. He always has time for you, but sometimes he needs guy time.

Meet his parents the first chance you get.

Unfortunately, I did not meet his parents until we had dated for four months and I deeply regret it. His parents will accept you with open arms and will love you just as much. I am thankful that to this day, I can go up to them and give them a hug, then proceed to go my own way. They are funny, sincere and all-around amazing people to be around. You will love them.

This doesn't mean that when I see you two in public, I will rejoice with happiness. It'll sting, yet that's just the way life works. Don't worry about me, we had our time, and although that time is over, he has learned a lot. He won't love you the way he loved me, but he will love you better. Treasure the time you have with him and don't give up on him. Whatever you do, don't take him for granted. He is so worth it. He's amazing, one-of-a kind, funny, and stupid all in one. After a year of still holding onto him, wishing we could work things out, I am glad to say I have let go. I have let go for you to hold on. It's your time to shine.

Love him with your best, he deserves it and you will receive nothing less.

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.
