An Open Letter To "That" Guy

You know who I'm talking about. That guy that sends the "You up?" text at 2 am.

Fella's, this one is for you. Most of my articles have been targeted toward my ladies, but I feel like y'all need a little attention this time. Let me go ahead and preface this article by saying I really and truly believe that there are genuinely good men out there in the world, and I know that this does not apply to every guy who may read this. That being stated, there are some things I feel like I need to address and be a voice for all the women (including myself) who are tired of being treated any less than what we deserve.

Let me start by saying this...

Guys, for those of you who are wondering why you're still single and can't hold a girl down, it's probably because you ask her to give more than she's willing to and how you act when you are turned down and pout when you're not getting your way THEN decide not to never talk to us again. It's not the first time you've done it and it won't be the last. So, when us women are fed up with childish crap we continue to set higher and higher standards for ourselves because we know we are worth more than what lust has to offer. This, in turn, leaves us with a small percentage of real men who respect us and look at the whole picture and not just one "piece'' of it.

Most of us ladies already have our walls up from the last guy who treated us this way, so why be a stereotypical "that" guy? Why not rise above it? I understand that most college aged guys think that they need that physicality like its as important as food and water. Guess what. IT'S NOT. I promise you that really and truly that is not what keeps you alive. So stop trying to sweet talk us into making us think that we're comfortable with you to let our walls down, you get what you want, then literally ghost out on us. We're tired of wondering what is wrong with us and why we weren't good enough. We are worth far more than what lust has to offer.

If that is all you want from us, just come out right and say it. Don't lie or try to cover it up. When you do this, like I stated earlier, you leave us setting higher standards for the types of guys we look for. We actually get to the point where we give up and stop trying. If any of the ladies reading this are anything like me any time any guy says he likes you or thinks you're pretty, more than likely you say, "lol wut."

It really breaks my heart that most of the guys that women come in contact with don't want to have anything serious and meaningful that leaves them wondering what more they could have done.

**************

**THIS PART IS FOR MY GIRLS**

You ARE enough

You ARE gorgeous

You HAVE a beautiful soul

You ARE far more precious than diamonds and rubies.

**************

So guys, please get the hint that you need to do some soul searching and realize that you more than likely have the best thing that you could ever have right in front of you but yet you're willing to throw that away just for one night of fun.

Sincerely,

All Women

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.
