How to Fail at Getting the Girl

Tell me your deepest secret....

No? I have known you for less than a week. Let me repeat that, so you can perhaps think about it a little more. I have known you for less than a week. I have known my closest friends for years and my family has been around my entire pitiful life. Do you think they know my deepest secrets? No. They're my deepest darkest secrets for a reason; they stay hidden in the shadows locked behind a door, to which the key has been lost. Why the hell would I ever tell you anything like that?

Do you find me appealing...

Do you hear your own voice? I know, you wanted to be as blunt as possible, but for fuck's sake.... did you have to word it like that. What were you expecting me to answer? Of course, you fulfill my every desire and I think of you every night while I lay awake in bed. To answer your question, no. No, you are absolutely not appealing to me and this conversation is just making you less and less so.

You're a challenge and i want to crack you....

Stop.

Just stop embarrassing yourself and demeaning me.

It's one thing to think that I'm interesting. To think that there is more about me hiding under the surface and that you'd enjoy learning about it. In fact, someone told me "I think you're one of the most interesting people that I've talked to yet, can I get your number," and I gave them my number.

It's another thing to think that I'm a challenge. You may have had the best intentions, good for you, but goddamn it, you apparently can't think again about the words that come out of your mouth. Maybe I am a puzzle, but that doesn't mean that I'm meant to be solved or that I even want to solved in the first place. What type of girls do you normally talk to, that you can get away with this absolute bullshit.

Okay. Okay.

I probably sound like sound some raving feminazi or I'm probably overthinking it. I've been told, that I should be honored to have a boy obsess over me and call me gorgeous .... I should be honored... shouldn't I?

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.
