To The Girl Looking For Love, Do Yourself A Favor And Stop

The best things in life are unexpected.

To The Girl Looking For Love, Do Yourself A Favor And Stop
Annie Banton

There are many great love stories that began not by searching, but simply by happenstance.

Although most romantic comedies or sappy love stories are highly exaggerated, people meeting by fate is something that happens in real life. Meeting someone in a moment can change one's life forever. This whole concept is a notion that people seem to forget; that the most wonderful things in life are often unexpected.

Technology is such a great thing, if utilized correctly. By this, I am referring to individuals trying to slide into the DM's...no thank you. Call me old school, but if you truly would like to get to know someone, ask to take them on an actual date. Talking is way more fun in person instead of typing your feelings away.

There's certainly a difference between messaging someone in the hopes that you'll be able to take them out on a date, but when you are only messaging someone in the search of happiness, I don't think it'll be as great as you're hoping. You cannot be fulfilled with false hopes and promises from someone you don't know well. There are far better things for you!

I think that living your life creates opportunities to meet new individuals, which could result in meeting the love of your life. I find little hope for people that are constantly searching for love, for their next fling, and for a sense of belonging. Don't you know that you are already beloved?

Trust me on this, stop searching for love, because you are no match for the Lord who determines your steps. He is the only one who knows what your future holds, and I think He creates someone specifically for each of us. Live your life, take care of yourself, and be patient. You never know when the unexpected moment will arise.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
