It may sound cliché, but it's the truth: the girl in a relationship is ALWAYS right. Girls have a kind of uncanny intuition. I don't know how or why, but they always seem to know what's right and what's wrong, and they're hardly ever mistaken in their judgment.

"That can't be true. Girls are just unwilling to admit when they've done wrong."

I concede to the idea that girls are stubborn, but who isn't? I know plenty of guys who are stubborn, most of which are close friends of mine. Stubbornness is an innate aspect of our being. Everyone is stubborn, and those who say they aren't most likely defend their claim in a stubborn manner.

Oh, the irony.

Girls and boys are both stubborn. Now that we've clarified that, let's examine why it's more justified for females to be uncompromising than males.

The short answer? GIRLS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!

Like I said before, girls don't just say things to hear themselves talk. They say things because they want YOU to listen. They want YOU to fully absorb the message being conveyed. They want YOU to use this newfound knowledge positively in future situations.

As someone who's been in a relationship for over 15 months now, I have learned to accept these ideas as facts and not to challenge a woman's authority. Like any couple, my girlfriend and I occasionally argue over stupid stuff. She says something, so I say something back, and she proceeds to retaliate. It's a recurring sequence.

Eventually, however, I almost always come to the realization that what I'm saying is irrelevant, and that continuing to argue will only make things worse.

It's almost like a lightbulb goes off in my head at a certain point. Something I've failed to acknowledge throughout the entirety of our argument suddenly becomes crystal clear. I'm wrong, she's right. Another argument in the books.

Men, I'm not just telling you this to make your significant others happy. This isn't about "letting" the woman be right. It's about knowing she's right and learning to live with it.

I'm keeping this short and sweet. The reason why I decided to discuss this topic is that I've witnessed too many women fall captive to unwavering masculinity. The voices of women all across the world are viewed as obsolete, even in modern times.

We aren't living in the 1800s anymore. This is 2018. Women have just as much, if not more, to offer the world than men do. I bet that if we listened to women more, the world would be a much better place.

I'm forever grateful for my girlfriend. She's taught me things about myself I never knew before and I can't thank her enough. Marirose: my first love and the one who never fails to let me know when I'm wrong. I doubt I'll ever win an argument with Marirose. She's just too damn smart.

Don't make your girl upset or try to bring her down. Watch that butterfly flap her wings. Her potential is limitless.

And remember that she's ALWAYS RIGHT!

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.
