Boyfriends Do Not Get Husband Privileges

He's your best friend, a partner in crime, cuddle buddy, motivator, and encourager. He's your boyfriend. That's it. Don't give him things that his title in your life doesn't entail.

Sure, he can have your kisses, hugs, support, affection, attention, and appreciation, but anything beyond that is too much for him and you to be dealing with solely as each others' boyfriend and girlfriend. You should be spending every minute together learning new things about each other, spending time with your friends, and making memories. He doesn't and shouldn't be providing for you yet. He shouldn't be choosing you above everything else in his life just yet. Sure you should be priorities in each other's lives, but you should both be able to spend time with family and friends just as often still. He shouldn't be living with you yet - you're gonna miss out on girl nights with your friends or "you-time." Therefore, he should in no way be receiving all of you yet.

Notice the word "yet" at the end of every sentence I just listed above.

He's still just your boyfriend. As your boyfriend he has potential to be your husband, but it's not until he has reached that potential and has the capability to provide for you, make you his #1 privilege, create a home with you, and love you till "death do you part," does he earn the husband privileges of your forever affection, companionship, and love beyond just hugs and kisses.

Think of it this way, you're saving something JUST for him. Only he will receive every single one of the privileges and gifts you've been holding onto. That's how special he should feel. Give him something to look forward to. Something to work towards and for. Because he's just your boyfriend right now. And he does not and should not be receiving husband privileges, period.

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.
