An Open Letter To The Boy Who Isn't Ready

You’re reading this right now because I’ve called you out, the boy who has said, “I’m not ready for a relationship…” Well I am here to tell you, if you make her wait forever, she will not be there, the girl who is worth it will not wait forever, even if she claims she will.

In the past, she was always the one that wasn’t ready. She would leave and you always looked for a band-aid at a party or in your phone that would get you through the night. Now she’s finally ready and you are not. She is ready to take the next step and that terrifies you for many valid reasons. You are screwed up from your previous relationship, well aren’t we all? You know this would be real, so before you decide to make her wait and take the risk of her leaving for someone who is ready, or pull the plug out of fear of love I want you to think about a few things.

Would seeing her dance in another man’s arm make you want to punch out glass? Will you go crazy if you see her car? Can you make it through the night thinking about another man laying next to her, and holding her close? Can you imagine her not being in your life? If you can’t make it through these things, then you need to get your shit together before another man does.

You know she’s beautiful and when she walks into a room, men are staring straight at her. She has a smile that will light up the room and a personality that welcomes anyone in. You’ve seen it, guys walk straight up to her, made comments about taking a chance at her and you have had to fight them off. You know she could have any man in the room if she chose to, but she has chosen you. You have told all your friends who ask that you will eventually end up dating her when it’s the right time. They ask if you love her and you can’t lie, so you say yes. You know that girl cares more about you than any girl ever could; she has done more for you than she should because of how great she thinks you are.

The girl that is in your mind right now is there for a reason. You know she is worthwhile and anyone would be lucky to have her, you don’t even think you deserve her but guess what she still wants you. So if you can’t imagine her not being around, do something about it. Make sure she knows how much you care about her. Make that girl yours before another man does.

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.
