Celebrity Couples Should Never Be Your "Relationship Goals"

Stop looking for the Liam to your Miley.

From John and Chrissy to Blake and Ryan, we all are guilty of fawning over some of Hollywood's cutest couples at some point. I mean, who wouldn't? They're seriously cute and always entertaining us somehow.

There's only one problem with this obsession, however. People are starting to compare themselves and their relationships to celebrities, which we should all know by now never ends well.

What some people don't realize is that what you see is not the entire picture. All of these couples seem perfect and without a single flaw, which in reality is just plain false.

Everyone has their own imperfections and relationships do too.

Now, I'm not saying that these celebrity couples actually have horrible relationships, I'm just letting you know that what you see is not everything that's there. No relationship is without flaws, and comparing yours to that of a celebrity is only setting you up for failure.

Constant comparison is a perfect way to always end up unhappy. You'll never be able to replicate what you see in the media. Not only because it's not even completely true, but also because you're simply not that person and there's no way for you to become exactly like someone else.

You should think about relationships in the same way. It's pretty unlikely that your boyfriend will surprise you with a Kanye-style flower wall this Valentine's Day, but that doesn't mean that he loves you as much as Kanye loves Kim.

I know all of this may sound pretty pessimistic, but it's really not. It should actually be comforting to realize that you really don't have to live up to the impossible standards portrayed by celebrities in the media.

Instead, compare your relationships to how they affect your own relative happiness. What's perfect for you is not perfect for someone else, so your relationship should not be the exact same as anyone else's.

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.
