To The Girl Who Doesn't Want to Wait

Believe me when I say waiting was the best choice I ever made.

For some of us, it's so hard to see everyone around you with a significant other.

You see the amount of happiness they have and you try to tell yourself that you're happy with just being yourself. but yet you know want more.

So you search. You try your hardest to mean something to someone. You begin to act a certain way and you slowly become something you're not.

Eventually, a guy comes along and he shows interest in you.

You jump at that chance while not really paying attention to who this guy truly is; you're just glad to finally have someone who gives you that type of attention.

You don't really see it right off, but that person isn't the real you.

You became so obsessed with trying to be something for someone, that you totally left behind the real you.

When we try to be something we aren't, we are never truly happy.

You may have a significant other, but after a short time, it ends because that happiness isn't satisfying you like you thought it would because, deep down, you really aren't any happier than you were before.

It just was never a real relationship.

So for all the girls who are rushing that relationship, don't rush it.

I promise you it is worth the wait.

After going through so many relationships that ended with a heart breaking halt, I knew something was wrong

I had went down such a bad path.

I had given up and told myself that I was only going to focus on myself and wait for that guy to pursue me instead of me be the one who would always pursue.

I had no interest in being with anyone for a long time.

I was truly broken.

But then, I met someone who completely rescued me.

Four years later, I can truly say this guy is the one.

He knows the real me and I know the real him.

We respect each other, we look after each other, and we never give up on each other.

In no way has he ever made me feel like I need to be something I'm not to be loved.

He has always pushed me to embrace the real me and to be confident.

He truly has shown me what love really is, and how much of a joke those other relationships were.

So to all the girls who struggle with waiting, please don't give up.

No matter how much heartbreak you have went through or how badly you have been treated, one day someone will walk into your life and you will understand why it was worth the wait.

The right guy for you will come along, and when he does you will know.

You will feel completely comfortable with this person and you will know that they truly love you.

You will finally feel at home.

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.
