Why I Don't Evny Love In The Movies

Love is what you say it is, not what others think it is

I know what you’re thinking, this girl doesn’t believe in love and will eventually die an old, lonely hag. Well the love part is where you’re wrong because I do very much believe in love, just not the conventional kind. Well I am a sucker for a Nicholas Sparks film, I’ve grown tired of them because they are all the same old mushy stuff and these films try so hard to show love that they miss it completely. Love isn’t flowers and chocolates, it’s that good luck text on your first day of work or someone who stays up with you til 3am talking about life, death, and everything inbetween. The films about love lack substance and love is meant to be nothing but. Films are representations of what people want to see, not what’s really there. Real love is laughing when knee your guy in the crotch on accident. To be honest love is meant to be awkward at times and that’s the greatest part! It’s those flaws and little mishaps that make you love your significant other even more because you know that they’re not perfect, just like you. Some people like to hide their flaws from their significant other but revealing them makes the relationship stronger because then you know they they love you for you, not for who they think you are. People try to contain love be defining what it is when in fact love is everything. Love is watering your mother's plants or giving your sad friend a hug. Love in the movies doesn’t show that, they only show the same sappy stuff that doesn’t show that you truly love a person. I use to be a cynic when it comes to love and that was because I thought love was meant to be like in the movies and when I realized that I was chasing a figment of people's imaginations I found what love really was. Love in the movies is seen as perfect when in fact love is caring about someone for their imperfections. Knowing that someone cares about you even though you have a cackle for a laugh and have horrible morning breath makes you cherish that feeling even more. MY last piece of advice for you is to stop looking for what love is supposed to be. Love is whatever you make it and as soon as you stop looking to others to find it it’ll be there waiting for you. And let me tell you it’s pretty amazing.

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.
