An Open Letter To The Girl Who Can't Say No

...to anything she wants to.

An Open Letter To The Girl Who Can't Say No

It seems to be that no one is ever capable of saying what he or she really wants. The typical answers are "IDK,” or “Sure that’s fine,” or even “Yeah I’m totally cool with that.” It is absolute bullshit that girls are afraid to say what they genuinely feel.

…and since they don’t, guys will continue to do whatever it is they want because you haven’t required them to say they want anything.

...because most of the time when girls do say what they feel, they get ripped apart for being too forward, too ‘clingy’, too demanding or simply too needy.

Well I’m here to tell you, so f*cking what?

You want us to lie to you for simply the satisfaction of your needs? To just allow us to be able to stay in your life of ‘whatever it is’ we even are?

I’m sorry, but HA no.

It is absolutely insane to regret saying how you genuinely feel because it grants us the warmth of some male figure in our life.

What seems to slip people's minds is that no one is worth this half-ass ‘relationship’ if it means denying you of what you really deserve. I am not saying a guy needs to praise the ground you walk on, but he should be doing anything he can to ensure your happiness before his. Meaning, he’ll do what it takes not to lose you. Even if that means committing. Yes, I said it, the "C" word: commitment.

Now let me tell you, fear of commitment is a thing. Yes, it’s not total bullshit. But, if the guy is genuinely into you, and wants to keep you around, he will do what he can to eliminate that fear. If he is not, then he simply doesn’t feel it or he wants to have his cake and eat it too. (Yes, meaning you and the other fish in the sea).

So, what do you do?

You say no.

N. O.

You tell him you aren’t okay with this half-ass bullshit of “I want to see you, take you out,” “I miss you"—"but I don’t want to date" nonsense.

I promise you that you aren’t okay with it as much as you’re telling him you are just to keep him in your life to hold on in any way you can.

You do not want that.

So, you say no.

And this guy that you are going to say no to, will respect you much, much more for not tolerating his shit like the rest have. I’m not saying that’s automatically going to change his mind or flip a switch on his feelings, but he will take note that he can’t get away with his actions, and that you are one girl who he can not f*ck with.

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.
