Be A Priority, Not An Option

You are too good for that.

Be A Priority, Not An Option

"I don't want anything serious, I'm just having fun." Every girl has heard this line from a guy, haven't we? I mean, it seems to be the go-to line for those boys that know exactly what to say to get us girls to start to open up.

I'm talking about that guy that gives mixed signals left and right. That guy that says those sweet things one night, but doesn't talk to you for days after. That guy that calls you at night and takes another girl home when you say no.

We all know this type. We try to avoid them, but it seems absolutely impossible. These are the guys that assume every girl they meet wants a relationship when in reality, all the girl wants is a guy around who knows how to respect her.

These guys know how to get a girl where they want her. They tell her what she wants to hear so she'll come around when they want her, but he throws her aside when he finds someone new. You have been that girl. We all have. You start to feel worthless. You feel used. You feel hurt and confused. Why did I open up? Why did I let myself care?

Well, guess what? It's not your fault. It's not your fault that you cared about him. That's what happens when you have a sweet soul. Don't be down on yourself for that. It's okay to feel hurt and confused. It's okay to be angry, but you can't blame it on yourself. It's his problem, not yours.

He is the one who thinks it's okay to have a different girl with him every night. He's the one that thinks it's okay to lead you on just so he has you as an option. Don't be an option for him. If he is that pathetic, you don't need him anyways. He is not a man and by the path he's on, he never will be.

I know you want to see the best in him. You want to remember the good nights when he seemed different than the rest. When you're upset and wonder which girl he's with, think about the nights he upset you. Let that be a reminder that you deserve better. You deserve a man, not a boy.

You deserve a man that respects you. A man that makes you a priority, not an option. You should never be just another girl he could call. You should never be a girl he only comes to when he wants something. You should be the girl he adores. The girl he shows effort to. The girl he treats like a prize.

You are too good for that loser boy that makes you wonder if you are good enough. You are too smart, too beautiful and too valuable to be thrown around by a pathetic boy who doesn't know what he wants.

You should be a priority, not an option. You should always feel valuable and respected. You deserve that. You deserve the world. Love yourself enough to know that. Love yourself enough to be happy without a boy.

Wait for a man that doesn't make you question your worth. Wait to be a priority, not just another option.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
