The Girl Who Chooses Her Boyfriend Over Her Friends

If you ever read a book about love in your youth you'd probably read that you're supposed to fall in love with your best friend.

Happiness...

"Why are you letting people control who makes you happy or not?"

I am the girl who naturally chooses her boyfriend over her friends probably more than half the time. Such a freaking crime isn't it ladies? I mean you don't even care about them anymore. How dare you!

If you ever read a book about love in your youth you'd probably read that you're supposed to fall in love with your best friend. You probably also read that they are supposed to make you laugh, make you feel like you're not faking, and literally make you want to be around them every second you get.

Honestly, if you've never heard that you've been living under a rock for your entire life or you're just too immature to understand that this day and age we're falling in love.

Don't get me wrong, if you haven't found someone you can't see your life without I get it! But, don't shame your friend for wanting to watch a movie with that special person rather than throwing up in the toilet because they took ten too many shots. Don't shame them for choosing a family party over sitting around a table and talking about college and how different you are now than six months ago.

I can almost promise you they care about you still, probably more than you care about them. But, why would someone with a boyfriend want to hang out at a bar and talk men into buying them a drink? Have you ever heard of hypocrites, I can tell you that she'd wouldn't want her boyfriend buying drunk girls drinks.

Stop shaming girls and calling them "weak" because they are in love. Stop wishing they'd just "break up" so you can have your fun partying best friend back. Stop telling them how much they changed because odds are they haven't changed and when the choose to go out they're just as much fun as they were 5 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago.

When you are a need, and you need someone to talk to, they are not going to choose the boyfriend over you. Chances are (if she chose the right one) he'd want her there anyway. When you need someone to sit and have a glass of wine with, I promise you she'll be there.

Stop shaming girls who are best friends with their boyfriend.

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.
