Be About It, Or Be Without It

"The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her."

Be About It, Or Be Without It

Recently when reading a horoscope, it got me thinking and, of course, I couldn’t help but read into the fallacy of trying to listen to it. So.. here I am about to make a solid yet perplexed argument (not about my own personal life, just in general) in matters of the heart.

Anyways as you can guess, the horoscope read something about taking matters of the heart into your own hands and so without further a due…

Fellas… IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED, DO NOT ENTERTAIN IT. Basically, for lack of better words, either be about it or be without it. Us girls have to stop pouring so much of ourselves into boys who do not care - or seem to not care anyways - about our well-being. We need to stop allowing ourselves to have relationships that are walking a fragile line.

One day, guys will understand that they actually can’t have their cake and eat it too. And so boys.. In the nicest, sincerest way possible.. SCREW YOU. Stop trying to get the attention of a mind and heart you have no interest in loving. Stop initiating things you have no intent of finishing and stop playing with someone else’s emotions because you’re unsure of your own. Basically, stop being a f**kboy.

“The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.”

Stop hooking up with someone you know has feelings for you and then being surprised when they tell you how they actually feel. There is nothing assuring about mind games. In fact, it’s pretty immature. Stop toggling with people’s feelings and let them move on to someone who is actually going to share the same genuine feelings for them. Do not push her away and then try to rope her back in. It’s puerile and quite frankly selfish. Let that person off the emotional rollercoaster at your heartbreak carnival.

Love is not selfish and love is not proud. Be the kind of person that knows when it's time to let go so you can avoid hurting someone else because you have enough pride to put your pompous ways on the back burner. Give them the space and time to find happiness with someone else if you know it won’t be with you.

Stop liking and commenting on her photographs, stop texting her, stop snap-chatting her, and definitely stop asking about her. If you cared enough about how she was, you wouldn’t have put yourself in the predicament of having to ask someone else in the first place. And so I say to you ladies, fall in love - not in line because we deserve more, and we deserve 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.
