How Important is Your Relationship Status?
Huffington Post

Is changing your Facebook status or bio on Instagram more important than staying in a dead end relationship? Or the fact that you would have to be single for awhile before being in another relationship?

Being in a relationship should not have to be one person doing all the work while the other person has another life behind their back. A person should not have to flatter them with gifts or travel to see them to make sure they do not get cheated on.

Some people would rather be in a relationship than to be single and without a significant other. Why has it became so important for people to stay in a dead end relationship? Do they need to constantly have someone in their life to make them happy when truthfully they are not even happy? If someone needs to have someone constantly in their life to make them happy, maybe they need to reevaluate their life?

People who are single know how to depend on themselves and how to be happy without having someone. I find that those who are single know a good relationship when they get in one.They have been single for awhile to know what they want and not take anything else. I think it is good to be single for awhile to know what they are looking for and not a status on Facebook to change.

People who hop from one relationship to the next, are they doing it for all of the right reasons? What are they truly getting out of that? Are they doing that so they won't be single?

What happened to dating when it was taken seriously? Couples actually were committed to one another and stayed faithful. They actually were open and honest with one another. It seems nowadays that it is okay to cheat on one another. Cheating can be defined as acting dishonestly or unfairly. A person does not have to cheat by being with someone else but taking time away with that person by cheating through social media. They use their time spent on social media instead of with that other person.

Is the information on Instagram or the idea of deleting pictures more important than ending a relationship? The fact that everyone on their social media would know they were single? If the idea of being single to a person is worse than being in a relationship, maybe they need to reevaluate their personal life. Someone that is single does not have a disease and neither will you for being single. People probably talk about your relationship when they see something wrong with it. Would a person rather hear that their friend is glad they are out of the unhealthy relationship than keep hearing whispers?

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.
