Difficulties of Dating in 2016

It will all work out

Difficulties of Dating in 2016

It is a rough road. You go through so many messages, dates and relationships and still getting nowhere. People don't go out anymore to find their one, true love. Majority of dating happens online. Many people don't have the time to go out and meet people. The people who date online, don't take it seriously. They figure " hey, it's online, I don't really know the person, so it's okay to not go further". But, there are others who do give their date a chance and start fresh. When I go on social media, the majority of my friends are either getting married to their high school sweethearts or their boyfriends and girlfriends from college. You barely hear, " We met online". It is hard for those dating online to find the right one because now, there are people who lie about themselves to make it seem like they are someone else. They don't think it's a big deal and do it for fun or if they're bored but, until the other person calls Nev and Max, then you are in for a rude awakening.

Expectation is taken too literally in dating and we expect all the good but in reality, we need to also expect the bad and take it. Some people are picky about who they want to date. People look for their "type". They want someone who is their type until they find out they aren't so nice. People are afraid of commitment. They don't want to hurt the other person because the other person feels like that's what they're capable of. They have been hurt by someone else and they carry that burden on to the next relationship which is difficult. Sometimes, letting go and trying to really make it work can help you and your date. Don't get me wrong, there are probably stories about husband and wives who met on the internet and are happy. But lately, it's like hitting a wall and going nowhere. Hope for better days and all I have to do is let love come to me.

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.
