The First Kiss Gives You A Lot Of Info, But Not All Of It Is Important

The truth behind the myth of a first kiss.

The First Kiss Gives You A Lot Of Info, But Not All Of It Is Important
Princess Diary

We have all had that horrible first kiss experience, I know I have. We have been told for many years that a first kiss can tell you everything you need to know about a relationship. But does that myth stand to be true?

There are two sides to every argument. For those who believe that the first kiss can tell all, I am on their side. If you don't feel physically compatible with someone with something as simple as a kiss, how are you going to make the rest of the relationship work?

Yes, emotional compatibility is as equally important, but you can't have one without the other.

Imagine going on what you consider to be the perfect first date, and he or she walks you up to your place and the kiss is dry, gross and just unpleasant in general.

You immediately discredit that person from creating any sort of romantic relationship. But if the first kiss is perfect, and you can feel the sparks flying, that's how you know that this is going to be something special.

There are also those who believe that a first kiss is not as powerful as it has been said to be. If the date is perfect, and you emotionally connect with that person on such a strong level, you just know it's going to work.

But if that kiss is awful yet those emotions are there, you always have the ability to fix it.

A kiss is a physical aspect of a person that can be repaired or enhanced, kind of like going to the gym to enhance your cardio. So if the kiss is really all that bad, and the emotions are there, maybe consider taking the time to fix that small detail.

If we put so much pressure on the first kiss, we are setting ourselves up for failure. Although I am very traditional in the romantic sense, and most definitely believe in the magic first kiss, maybe we should consider putting those wild expectations aside. Because one day, that perfect someone will come along and we may toss them to the side because the kiss wasn't just right.

So take a step back, and enjoy people for who they are, not for the things they do.

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.
