Attention to all the millennials! if you have been in this situation than you will understand how it feels. Imagine you've expressed your feelings to a person. Telling them your feelings about them makes you vulnerable. At this point you are overtly interested, in a way where you can see your self being intimate with them.

Often when you express your feelings, you want to see if they feel the same way or not about you. At this point it is a high risk you are taking when you open that conversation to let them know how you feel. When you approach them to let them know, they can potentially be blunt and reject you, it can possibly even create awkwardness. If things don't go accordingly as planned, this is what could potentially happen after... in this poem as told by my best friend Carl called Circumstances.

"She showed no interest in a nigga struggling with a plan.

Now she sees I’m on the road to becoming the man

Ironically, now she needs a man.

Can't be too into you and forget about myself.

So I forgot about you, too worried bout myself.

You put me in a position to say no,

Then turn around and use that reason

to call me 'arrogant' or 'full of myself'

I worked hard all my life

And am still working way too hard

to get to my goals in life.

If you weren't there from the beginning

What makes you think I want you now?

When I wanted you

I was a he 'aint shit'

Now look

it’s a changed script.

- Carl E. Mars

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.

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.
