Got Trust Issues? Don't We All...

Got Trust Issues? Don't We All...

My mind has been wandering during these days of boredom and woe. I've wandered from reflection to inspection and everywhere in between, but it always focuses around relationships in today's society. I've paused multiple times to think about male and female roles; how they've switched, stayed the same or interact with each other. I have also found the causal relationship with low commitment of interest to me as well. Yes, personal experience has guided my thought process, but also friendships and other romantic relationships of friends and family. I've come to the conclusion that there is not right or wrong; there is only happiness.

Concerning male and female roles, I believe females have become fed up with being the livestock of romance. Getting played, cheated and heartbroken by insignificant men who have taken our love for granted. For this reason women have become our own happiness, more cold towards men, less trusting and less willing to commit. The women in my life and I myself, have been empowered, and love every minute of it. We've made the decision to drone out simple sweet talk and listen to the loving words of people who truly love us. Hence why people believe "these hoes ain't loyal." Why should we when we are witness to men who don't respect the beauty and love a woman can give?

So I've made the conclusion that women and men are less likely to commit to each other because of this mutual understanding. We say things like "I like you a lot, we have so much fun together and enjoy each other's company," and leave it at that. We trust, but to a certain extent...don't think social media doesn't speak, because it speaks novels. Yet many of us are happy with these types of relationships and that's the beauty of it. We are individuals enjoying the love of others personalities because they are beautiful...everyone has their own beauty.
But what I think is beautiful is full, honest and true commitment to a person. Why not try it out? Why not see where opening your heart and giving all the love and happiness you can, can get you? Relationships have changed. The power roles and trust issues have transformed our willingness to commit...and I am one living these issues. Yet, I am a believer in the "Why not?" motto. If you do not try then you are the only person telling yourself no. Rejection is a part of life and failure is our lesson...so why not?

Commit to someone who makes you wonder in their beauty, smile or quirky personality. Maybe it doesn't work out and maybe it does. Love is a part of life and to have multiple loves in your life is a blessing not a curse. So why not?

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.
