Don't Wedge Your Way Between Sisters

Men, you have been warned.

Don't Wedge Your Way Between Sisters
introvertreflections

One of the most dangerous things a boyfriend can do is try to wedge his way between sisters. See, sisters are some of the most protective creatures on earth, right next to mother rhinoceroses. They have another sense where the crap you're about to pull is suddenly on their radar; it's as if they can see right through you. It's no secret to them that you're about to try to weasel your way into their position as a confidant, a fashion adviser, their support system, and most importantly, sister. This is when the defenses are raised and the arsenal is prepared. It's just something that you shouldn't try to do, yet it still happens. I can guarantee that this doesn't happen without casualties, though.

When the sister or sisters can see what the boyfriend is trying to do, the small amount of respect for said boyfriend is gone. It's only natural for someone to hate another's guts when they try to replace that person. There should be no "try." It should be up to that person to decide whether their sister or sisters are enough. There should be a separate space in the heart for sisters and boyfriends because let's be honest, there is definitely enough room for the both of them. The fight for the sister's heart is pointless. If the boyfriend is not sneaky with this replacement, which they never are, I think he doesn't deserve respect from the sister or sisters.

If things go well between the boyfriend and the sister, the boyfriend will eventually be the one who consumes most of the sister's heart when they get married. That's all fine and dandy, but the sister will always be the one who gets the unfiltered, plain truth no matter what. There will probably be a suppressing of thoughts or opinions at times in the relationship between the sister and her significant other, but there will always be an openness that sisters share because they are stuck with each other. They're family. They've seen each other at their worst. They've spilled all the dirt. There is no confession that is a surprise between sisters. This means that if a sister has ever been wronged by a guy, her sisters have heard about it. This is just another weapon added to their arsenal, and sisters don't forget stuff like that.

So, men, take this as a warning. Don't try to replace your girl's sisters. This will only make your life terrible. If you think you have successfully done this, think again. The sister will eventually realize that she needs her sisters because they fill the massive void that you leave.

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.

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.
