I'm The Girl Your Mama Warned You About

I'm not the girl your mama wanted, but the woman you needed.

Let's face it, I'm not everyone's cup of tea.

I'm the girl who is a textbook definition of sassy. I love the way I feel after a shot of whiskey. I am loud. Too loud, if you ask most people. I like curse words and fluently speak sarcasm. My opinion of myself will always be more relevant than other's criticism. Most of all, I take great pleasure in my confidence and the hard work it took to get me to this place.

I'm definitely the girl your mama warned you about.

She probably told you to watch out because I'm wild. My independence and passion scare her. She sees my carefree spirit as something that will become bored easily.

I understand why I scare your mama, but there's so much more to me.

You see, your mama may have noticed my confidence, but she didn't look past my surface. I'll bet she didn't know that when I love, I love deeply. I don't play games. When I'm with you, it's only you. I'm not here to break your heart. I'm not looking for others guys. It's you and only you.

One thing is certain: I'll drive you absolutely crazy. There will be days where I'm a lot of work. Even tough girls have insecurities and fears. I'm far from perfect and I am more than willing to accept my shortcomings. But, there is no one who will love you better. For as long as you love me (and longer) I will be here. I will be your best friend and your biggest fan. The girl your mama worried about is the girl who is ready to share something great with you. A lifetime of adventure. Days upon days filled with memories. The greatest story we have ever experienced. We were both fine before we entered each other's lives, but are better together. Once your mama sees this, she'll see exactly why we're meant to be.

I'm not changing, that's for sure. But, I'm also not going anywhere.

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.
