Gimme That Guy

Give me that guy that admits he's a fool, but only a fool for me.

We all expect that when we meet our Prince Charming, he will sweep us off our feet. He'll utter all these gorgeous words at all the right times and tuck your hair behind your ear, gazing into your eyes.

But what if it is all complete and utter bullshit? What if he says all these sweet nothings, knowing that's what he's supposed to say, regardless of the fact that he doesn't mean a word? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather have a guy who stutters out something silly that makes no sense, than to have sonnets written in adoration of my eyes by a guy who doesn't even know what color my they are. I'd rather have someone who can barely think in front of me,because he is nervous than someone who whispers lies to me by the light of a beautiful sunset. The guy who cares but doesn't always get it right is worth so much more than the guy who knows exactly what it takes to get you but puts in no effort.

So, give me that guy who admits he's a fool, but only a fool for me. Give me that guy who isn't afraid to look silly because he does it just to see me smile. Give me that guy who may not be perfect but will always be perfect for me. Yeah, just give me that guy. He's priceless. When given the choice between the shallow, vapid boy who looks like he belongs in the movies and knows it all to well, and the boy whose hair never quite sits down straight and grass stains that never completely came out of his jeans, who will I choose? I'll take the latter.

When given the choice between the boy who looks at me like a conquest and the man who looks at me like I put the stars in the sky, then finished by hanging the moon, you have to know what my choice will be.

So, yes, give me the boy who may be a little rough around the edges but actually polishes up quiet nicely, and I promise I'll keep him 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.
