You Don't Have To Date Him, You Just Have To Have Fun

We're over the idea of committed relationships. Women can be happy, too.

I'm so tired of the idea that you won't be happy unless you're in a committed relationship, especially for women when having relations with a man. The status of life and behavior in our culture has been changed drastically during the 21st century and continues still. From gender to sexual orientation, people are able to be more open about their bodies, desires, and entirely themselves.

So why do women have to be canonized for their lack of faith in the presumption that they can only be romantically involved with the one person they are dating?

Men have been left off the hook multiple times as "just a player," and "he'll break your heart, so watch out." But what about the women who are looking for the same thing?

Maybe she wants to follow in Marina and the Diamonds footsteps on how to be a heartbreaker. She shouldn't automatically be restored to as a slut or whore for not wanting to be committed while a male gets a slap on the wrist.

Times have changed for males, and they should also for women.

With that though, comes a different sense of responsibility for everyone, not just females. You need to make sure you're being safe to yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. The second this is no longer entertaining in any of these aspects is when it can become a problem, and it is no longer a safe environment.

If you ever feel like you're doing it for the wrong reason, don't keep doing it because you've been framed this way, and it's the only way to live. Do it because you are proud and willing, not because they have written prostitute on your forehead so you have to sleep around.

You do decide who, when, where, why, and with whom. Don't ever let anyone take that away from you.

Though it sounds cliche, the only person who will be with you forever is you, You have to make sure you're taking care of yourself before anything. You do you, boo, always and forever.

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.
