It's Okay To Be Single

Life is scary, but if you can't face it by yourself you won't be able to face it with someone else.

Being single is never easy. The thought of being alone makes some happy, and others afraid. But being single is SO important. How do you know who you are if you aren’t by yourself? I fully believe there is a soul mate for every person out there, but you don’t need to jump from relationship to relationship until you find that person. It’s kind of disgusting if you think about it. That person will come along when God is ready for them to come along, and I feel sorry for people who don’t know that.

BE YOURSELF. FIND YOURSELF. If you don’t know who you are, how can you give your full self to the RIGHT person?

Being alone isn’t scary, it’s a part of life. Just like being born and dying is. Sitting in your room watching movies and crying by yourself isn’t a bad thing, it’s necessary in life. Of course people sleep around, but hey if that helps you find your true self then you do you. Some people may get used to the idea of being alone, and being afraid of letting someone in, but that’s okay. Working with the other person to break down those walls will make you stronger as an individual and as a couple. When you’re single, you aren’t actually alone though. You have friends, family, and pets to keep you company. It’s okay to do things by yourself when you’re single, and it’s okay to go out with your friends and have a great time. Find something that you like.

I’ve only been single for 2 months since my last breakup, but I have learned so much about the world, relationships, and myself as a person. I’m only 19, I have my WHOLE life ahead of me. So right now I’m content with sitting on my back porch and losing myself in a book. Right now I’m content with working my life away, and spending time with my family. That’s what is important in life. And when the right guy comes along I will be ready to give my REAL self, and full self to him.

So don’t be discouraged to be single. It’s not all that bad. Take some time and find things you enjoy. Whether you discover that you like to hike, or travel, or go to amusement parks or something, just find it and do it. You will be so much better off than jumping into other relationships. You may joke that you’ll be alone forever, but God won’t let that happen. You do you.

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.
