Let's just say it won't always be easy.

Dating A Girl Like Me

I'll admit, I can be a handful. I get moody, jealous, and angry. I require attention and reassurance every now and then, because who doesn't love being reminded how much they are loved? There will be days where I seem distant. Don't take it personally. I just go through periods where I overthink everything. That's when I need you the most, so please don't abandon me. My past is complicated, so please take the time to hear all about it and learn about me on the days that I'm actually willing to open up and tell you details. I'm a girl with high standards, an attitude, and a big heart.

I'll always be there.

Dating a girl like me means you'll always have someone to go to with your problems. A girl like me loves to be there and will never leave no matter what. I'll treat your heart as if it were my own. Dating a girl like me means you automatically have yourself a "ride or die." If you need me, even if I'm mad at you, I will not hesitate to be there. I will stick by your side through the best and worst times in your life.

My random bad moods.

Dating a girl like me means when I get moody, you should probably try feeding me first, because most likely that's the problem. Although, if food isn't the problem and you try shoving food in my face, I'll probably get mad that you think you can just get away with giving me food to calm me down (this is the part where I'm a handful, but I'll also most likely still eat the food even though I'm mad you thought that was the problem).

Sorry if I sound like your mom.

After a while I'll probably start sounding like your mother, but only because I'm looking out for you and want the best for you. I'll get onto you if I feel as if you're slacking when I know that you can do better. I'll put you in your place when I know you're wrong just as I hope you'll do the same to me. When we argue, I expect you to talk it out with me instead of running away. We're a team here, don't give up.

Yeah, I get jealous.

I will get upset at the way I thought I saw you look at another girl even when you really didn't do it (at least you better not have). I've been cheated on, lied to, and have had my heart broken. Dating a girl like me means I've always got my guard up. I'm overprotective of what's mine. I want you to myself. I will fight for you, but I will not compete for you.

I will love your flaws.

Dating a girl like me means you won't be with someone who judges you. Instead, I end up falling in love with the scars on your skin, the way you poke your lip out while you're running, and the way you accidentally mess something up or make mistakes. As long as you learn to love yourself as I love you and learn from your mistakes, I will love seeing you grow as a person and will help you fix those mistakes along the way.

I can be annoying.

I can't sing, but, unfortunately for you, I do it anyway. A lot. You'll have to suffer riding in the car with me as I sing my heart out and do stupid dance moves. I like making jokes, so, even if they aren't funny (which they always are), just laugh anyway. I love holding hands and smothering you with random kisses. If you love me, you'll come to love these things too. I also like to go on spontaneous adventures, so I hope you're down for whatever.

I'll be your number one fan.

If you play sports, a girl like me will be there to watch you do what you love to do. I will cheer you on even if your team is losing. I'll always have faith in you. Dating a girl like me means you've found your number one fan and supporter on and off the field/court.

I don't cost much.

Dating a girl like me means you don't have to shower me with gifts. Honestly, all I ask for is your attention, love, loyalty, and honesty. On occasions it'd be nice to get some food though.

I'm sorry that dating a girl like me is difficult, but I can promise you that I'm worth it. Girls like me are very rare nowadays so when you've a good one, don't let her go.

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.
