He's Not Good Enough

Ladies, you deserve so much better than what you are getting.

He's Not Good Enough

Ladies, I want you to picture the man that you have had a crush on for who knows how long and really think about the way he treats you. Does he smile when you are around? Does he compliment you even on the days when you don’t feel “pretty”? Or does he take hours to respond to your texts and only needs you when the time is good for him?

If you said no to the first two questions and yes to the last one, then he’s not good enough.

We all know someone who answered yes to that last question. She was talking to a boy who, at the beginning, was always willing to see her, always willing to hang out and invite her to events with him. But then, out of the blue, he stopped coming over. He stopped asking to hang out unless “sex” was involved. The only time that he ever made an effort to hang out was when his ten other girls were unavailable. Of course, the girl took a while to realize what he was doing and when she did, she hated him for it. Yet she still continued to make an effort to hang out with him and text him and show him that she was still there for him. Frankly, this boy didn’t care.

Love can blind you. It can lead you in a direction that you don’t want to be headed in.

If a guy throws you aside when something or someone comes along that’s better, then he’s not good enough.

If a guy texts you only when it’s convenient for him, he’s not good enough.

If he only comes over because he wants to mess around or have sex, HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Ladies, we need to stop putting it in our heads that guys that text us five hours after the fact and then reply with a “I was busy” or guys that only hang out with us because all they want/need is sex are “good enough” for us. They aren’t. We are all strong, independent women who can take a stand for our own and we should know how we deserve to be treated.

So the next time this guy blows you off or comes over and is instantly trying to get with you, push him back and tell him that he’s not good enough for you.

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.
