For All The Single Ladies

It's not so bad being single.

For All The Single Ladies

Being single is not so bad, it just means every time you say no to a guy or it doesn’t work out, you’re one step closer to finding the right guy. If you know what you want, don’t settle. You know how you should be treated and a guy should treat you that way if he’s for real. I am no expert and I’ve never been in love or found the right guy yet, but I believe in everything I’m telling you.

Don’t focus on wanting to be in a relationship, enjoy your time being single. Go out with friends, flirt, dance, drink, and enjoy yourself. Do what makes you happy. This is the time to focus on yourself, if you want to get in shape or work on a project you keep putting off, now is your chance! Being single is a time to get to know yourself better and to put your wants and needs first. It is important to be independent and find happiness on your own, you can't rely on someone else to do that for you.

Being single does not mean you are lonely. You have friends and family. Be grateful for the people who are closest to you because they will always be there and care for you. Don’t keep thinking being in a relationship will make your life better. That person is not the missing piece. If you keep putting negative energy out there and are so desperate for someone to come along, people will sense that and it’s a turn off. So stay confident and embrace being independent.

Going on dates and meeting new people is fun. Dating is a time to get to know someone and do new things. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there! Not every date is going to be great, but it's the effort that counts and you never know what will happen when you take the risk. Just always have standards on how you want to be treated because the last thing you want to do is waste your time with a jerk and ruin the dating world for you.

Just remember, when the time is right and the person is right, he will pursue you. He will do anything to get your attention and prove he is worthy of your time. In the mean time, enjoy being single. Do what feels right, never settle, don’t change who you are or the things you want because of someone else, it just proves already that he is not the person for you. Remember to keep busy, have fun, learn new things, put yourself into your work, be passionate about what you do, and things will eventually work out.

All I know is, being single is not the end of the world, it’s all about how you perceive it. And the dating world is never easy, but have fun with it and the right guy will come along.

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.
