Why You Need To Have Those Embarrassing Talks With Your Girlfriends

They have no idea what they're doing either.

Why You Need To Have Those Embarrassing Talks With Your Girlfriends
NBC News

We need to stop thinking that things only happen to us. Everyone gets embarrassed, everyone says dumb thing to the boy or girl you like, everyone drinks too much at least once in their life, and everyone has embarrassing questions that they are absolutely terrified to ask about because what if you get the response, “no, that never happened to me”. Tragic right? Wrong. That will never happen.

This is exactly why you need your girlfriends. The amount of girls nights filled with stories about boys, girls, family, stupid fights with friends, eating vast amounts of food, literally every topic you could imagine is uncountable. Who else are you supposed to go to when the boy you like is a bad kisser, or that date you went on was atrocious, or you have a question that you’re just a little too embarrassed to ask your mom about – you go to your girlfriends.

Some of the best nights have been gathered around with my girlfriends talking about absolutely everything and absolutely nothing. Just conversations jumping from one to another without any rhyme or reason beyond just “I don’t know. I wanted to talk about it”. These are the conversations that need to be had, not for your own sanity, but for everyone’s.

People are often too rigid about what they discuss because they’re embarrassed that no one can relate to them or they sound ridiculous. And, as I’ve stated before, that never happens. Someone will always out-stupid you, out-ridiculous you, out-everything you. That’s the beauty of having these kinds of conversations, you only learn more about yourself and your best friends while being more comfortable with who you are and all of the ridiculousness that comes with you.

Be proud of your crazy and share what you got.

Kim K gets it.

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.
