You’ll find an anxious soulmate | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Find yourself a woman that treats you like the best person on the planet. Find the woman that will call out from work and come take care of you because you can't. Find the woman who has the same amount of anxiety as you. Find yourself the woman who will hide under the blanket because she's anxious. Find yourself the woman who will let you wear her pants because they are comfortable.

Yes I may sound like a woman who conforms to my boyfriends wishes, but I can tell you I'm the furthest from that woman. My boyfriend is a very very anxious man. He will try to hide it until he puts himself in to a point of crisis, and yes, I will call out from work to take care of him. I will call out because he needs to get out of his dorm, eat chicken nuggets, drink Starbucks, go for walks, and pet sting rays. If he doesn't, he will be hysterically crying, sad, and maybe drowning himself in bags of Doritos.

So ladies, do not be afraid to spoil your man. He needs it just as much as you. Yes, I used my sick time to take care of my boyfriend. But during that time, I made sure he was safe, he ate, he drank, and he did things he enjoyed. I learned a lot about patience, and a lot about our relationship during that time. I learned that it's okay to cry because someone else is crying. I learned that even if I think I'm being patient, I may need to try a little harder, even if it means I'm repeating myself hundreds of times.

To the man with anxiety, there is a lady just as anxious as you who will spend her time taking care of you, who will make sure you are safe, fed, clean, and comfortable. It takes time to find her, but once you do, you'll feel a million times better.

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.
