You probably knew most of this, and if you didn't, you're going to.

Her life is busy

She may not be able to see you every day, and that's okay. A relationship isn't about the quantity of time you spend together, but rather the quality of time spent together.

She may not respond to your texts

This goes along with the above. Her life is way too busy to be constantly texting you every minute. Besides, we're all adults now. Waiting a few hours to talk isn't the end of the world.

She's not going to rely on you

As much as Disney princesses rely on their princes, an independent woman won't need to. She relies on herself. Don't take it personally.

She may seem closed off, but she's not

We're all tough cookies to crack, and independent women are no different. Her exterior might be a little hard to get through, but on the inside, she's soft.

She doesn't mind paying the bill

Traditionalists will say that it is always the man's responsibility to pay the check, but nowadays, who cares? Independent women will be more than happy to pay. Take turns if you must!

She tells it like it is

If she comes off as harsh, she isn't meaning to. She's just blunt because she doesn't have the time of day to beat around the bush.

She likes things to be done when you say they'll be done

If you tell her you'll do something by Friday and it doesn't get done, you're going to have some problems. Don't say what you don't mean boys.

She wants you to communicate with her

Nothing is more annoying than a man who won't tell her what she does wrong or if she upset you. JUST COMMUNICATE. I promise it'll be worth it.

She waits for no one

If you are dragging her down, she will leave you behind. Try to uplift her, be her solace. Don't hold her back because she isn't afraid to leave. It'll hurt like hell, but her career is everything.

If you're afraid to date an independent woman, you probably shouldn't. You'll only weigh her down. If you aren't afraid, well, you know what they say... Good luck, Charlie.

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.
