Be Careful With Your Heart

Wearing it on your sleeve could be your worst nightmare.

I want everyone to keep in mind that this is written with a heavy, nearly broken heart. No one is ever going to immediately know what people are honest and what people aren’t. In this generation, it seems to be so easy to hide behind two faces.

“I usually have pretty good judgment, that would never happen to me.” – Me.

And then, it actually happened… (Personal story coming up, stay tuned).

My friend group and I have probably never felt so blind-sided and betrayed in our entire lives. It's honestly so incredibly hard to find professional words to explain this situation. I have some wise advice for someone who wants to cheat on one of my best friends, don't. Plain and clear. Cheaters are number two on my scum from the bottom of my shoe list and liars are number one. Why anyone would ever feel the need to cheat is completely beyond me.

I have experienced being cheated on a few times too many and I still never expect it until it happens. It's hard to find the evidence sometimes. But this guy was so sneaky. NOT. She saw the messages. They were with their friends and were going out and met up with another girl while my friend was there. He didn't care at all to spare anyones feelings here. It takes a special kind of person to plan a night with all your friends and girlfriend and then ditch them to hang out with another girl. And just wait, this gets better...

His rebound is (more like 'was') in our friend group. Never saw that coming, either. I think it's pretty easy to say that none of us associate with her anymore considering she planned out becoming his rebound since the breakup. I've never laughed so hard because I didn't think that I would ever find someone so pathetic.

It's honestly such a scary would out there. You can never fully know a person, because they could be posing as something that they're not. Sometimes it's obvious, but a lot of the time, you'll figure out their true colors when you least expect it.

So here is my advice to you all:

Live for yourself since you can't always trust others to give you a happy life.

Learn to love yourself, because others won't always be able to fulfill that joy.

Choose your friends wisely.

Act wisely.

Speak kindly.

Be the most honest and loyal person that you possibly can be. The world has too many fakes already, no need to add onto it.

Be nice. No one likes people who are constantly negative and picking fights.

And here's my advice to my best friend's ex-boyfriend and his rebound:

Get your lives together and take care. You all kind of suck for this, so work on yourselves. I want you all to learn from this situation!

I have always been someone who wants the best for everyone, no matter what they have done in life. I believe that everyone makes mistakes and will always make a few terrible decisions throughout life. I'm one of those people, sadly. You have to work on yourself. I spent the past year finding myself, learning to stay positive in the most negative situations, living for myself and being kind to everyone as much as I possibly can. Life is too short to be negative about everything and be mean to everyone you don't like. Killing people with kindness is the best thing you could ever do, trust me. You won't have the terrible after taste in your mouth after saying terrible things to someone or betraying your friends.

Be a best friend, tell the truth and over use "I love you." Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense. Never let your praying knees get lazy and love like crazy. - Lee Brice

I love these words and living the lifestyle that I do. It makes everything so much easier, especially the hard times.

I hope that everyone can learn a little from my personal situation and I hope that the people that it involves are able to find themselves very, very soon.

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.

WP content

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.
