This won’t be your ‘typical’ relationship. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it. She is comfortable being alone; in fact, she prefers it. She craves her space and her freedom. People are drawn to her, to her personality. She is quick to make friends but also quick to cut people out. She doesn’t let people in easily, but you see, it’s because she had to be that way.

It will take time, but she will let you in. She’s been through things most people haven’t, and those experiences have shaped her to be the woman she is today. She wasn’t handed things on a silver platter, and she doesn’t expect that to happen now. She won’t expect you to do things for her; she won’t wait for you to open her door. This may frustrate you, but she was built this way. Something happened to her that taught her to never need someone because at the end of the day the only person that’s guaranteed to be there is herself.

She won’t share her emotions to you right away. She doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve. Her emotions are and always have been hers, and she’s used to that. She doesn’t like for others to see her when she’s vulnerable or when she’s hurting. She doesn’t want people’s sympathy.

She’ll be stubborn. She’s used to doing what she wants to do when she wants to do it without needing anyone else’s permission. She knows who she is and what she wants and nothing will stop her from achieving her goals, not even you. She’s determined and won’t let anyone get in the way of that.

She may be too strong for you at first, but don’t worry, that’s just her outer shell. The walls she has built up to make sure she doesn’t get hurt. She doesn’t let people in because she’s afraid of what will happen when they leave. She’s independent. It took a lot of work and a lot of tears for her to get to where she is now.

She’ll want things her way. She may push you away, but that’s her way of protecting herself. Until you prove you are worth her time she’ll test you. She’ll push your buttons and test your limits. Be patient with her. She does this because she is scared. Scared to love and scared to let someone new into her world. Once she lets you in, don’t ever let her go. She’ll change your life, I promise you that.

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.
