I will tell you this. If you can't give her all of you, leave now. She is a storm not many can control, but if you are the right guy for her, you wouldn't even try. She is not meant to be controlled, but only to be loved.

She'll never stay silent about your mistakes, and she will always tell you how she thinks something should be done. Remember that it's not because she is trying to criticize you or letting her ego get in the way, but because she loves you and she wants you to become a better person every day. Not for her, but for yourself.

I hope that you will compliment her. She says she hates compliments, but if she smiles when she says that, does she really?

Take her places. Let her take your hand in hers and give you the world the way she sees it because the way she sees it is pure and untouched by malice. And honest. Be honest with her. She may get frustrated by the truth, but that is because she expects better things. Do your best to give her those things. And if you mess up one too many times, she won't hesitate to leave you in her dust. Even if she did, I wouldn't hesitate to step in for her.

Give her a chance to transform you. To transform your life. And help her. Lend her your hands, your ears, your eyes. Lend her your skin so she can crawl underneath it when hers isn't enough to protect her from the demons that she battles every day. She is confident, but she is also compassionate. Her every action is orchestrated by what she believes in; being vain is something completely unfamiliar to her. Don't take advantage of this.

Instead, appreciate it and appreciate her. Your gratitude will only make her love for you grow. She will love you even on days she doesn't feel like loving herself. But first, you must love her too. Love her with an intensity so fierce it makes lightning bolts look like amateurs. Love her, because only that will prove your worth to her.

She will set the bar high for you every time. She will make her walls so high; they will start to seem insurmountable to you. And when they do, know that it is her way of offering you a choice: to get in or get out. I hope you make the right decision when this happens, but more importantly, I hope you make the decision that brings her happiness.

I have already made mine. And now I die a million deaths climbing and falling.

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.
