Communication Is Key

Don't be mad that I don't know how you feel if you didn't tell me.

Don't be mad that I don't know how you feel if you didn't tell me. The only accurate way to read someone's emotions is for them to tell you just how they feel. It's easier and it'll cause less problems.

Don't think you know me because you've seen my Twitter or Facebook posts. I could post "I've had a terrible day" and it could be because I ran out of lives on candy crush. Nothing that I post will give you insight to my personal life. I don't want go put it out there for the world to read.

Don't assume. I've learned that the only thing assuming will do is make an ass out of both of us. If you want to know something, just ask. I promise I'll tell you what you want to know

If you want to get to know me, have a genuine conversation with me. Ask me about my 3 a.m. thoughts or my dreams. Pick up the phone and call me to talk about whatever your heart desires. I'd rather talk on the phone for hours than send a single text message.

Don't think you know my tone from a text message. You may think I had an attitude, but you wouldn't hear my voice to know. If I want to have an attitude, I promise you'll be aware of it. Text messages are the reason for so much miscommunication. That's one of the reasons that I don't prefer texts.

Instead of screaming at me, try asking me why I did what I did. Don't just start to freak out. Talk to me about it before you get mad. I try to handle a situation after I'm cooled off because I know I won't have as bad of a temper.

The point here is that communication is the key to every successful relationship. If you focus on this, you won't believe how much better your relationships get. There's no better feeling than having no doubts of what's going on, and you can have that too if you just communicate wisely.

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.
