To The One Who Always Pops Back Into Your Life As Soon As You're Over Them

The universe has a sick sense of humor.

Honestly, it happens to almost all of us, even the ones who do the “popping.” You know what I am talking about, right?

The ones who fill your time with plans they have no intention of keeping, who fill your heart with false promises and words that, well, are only words backed by no actions. Yet, we still deal with it.

Why is that?

Well, unfortunately for us being human and all, we always want what we can’t have.

Why is it that when a nice boy who can wear his heart on his sleeve, who makes me a priority and actually follows through with our plans is someone I don’t ever go for? I go for the infamous “bad boy” who has me checking my phone every minute on the minute, who has me second guessing every word or action and makes me feel so completely insecure when I know I’m not “that” girl.

But, I think, maybe, we all do have to be “that” girl. So that when we’re finally done with all of the losers we’ve tried and failed to change, we can appreciate a good man coming into our lives, waiting to sweep us off our feet. So that I can be the woman my future Prince Charming deserves.

Maybe the universe does this on purpose, to see if we’ve really changed or not, to see if we’ve really learned our worth yet and if we really know and understand what we deserve.

For me, this person came into my life and had me hooked instantly. We had such great chemistry and for me, at least, that is so hard to find. He had baggage, and I didn’t care, I was ready to accept it. Which probably says something, I am just not sure what that is yet.

But, then, his true colors showed he wasn’t respectful of my time and that he absolutely did not know how to communicate properly.

It’s time for me to take the advice that I have no problem dishing out, and it’s to not be “that” girl. It is so much easier said than done, we all know this. This time he popped into my world when I am about to make the biggest decision of my life – to move to California. I know he has the capability to keep me here. Funny how the universe works that way, right?

Well, joke's on you this time.

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.
