How To Be Single

It's okay to discover who you are and focus on yourself for a change.

I know breaking up sucks, but you know what’s even worse? Not embracing the single life.

You may be afraid to admit it, or you may just not want to accept the fact that yes, sometimes you are going to be alone.

The thing is, you don't have to be in a relationship to feel secure with yourself.

You need to realize that you do not need an ex or a man in your life to make yourself feel beautiful or happy. You have to realize that you are perfect the way you are and sometimes it is OK to be alone. When you are single you need to start doing all of the things you put off because you spent all of your time doing things for the other person.

I'm not saying he will and I truly hope he doesn't, but there is a chance that your ex might come back when he realizes what it is like without you. You need to emotionally prepare yourself for the chance of him crawling back.

Figure out what you want. Figure out what makes you happy. Figure out what you don't want in your life and walk away from it.

At the end of this movie, I found myself crying but not crying because I was sad, crying because I was happy. After listening to what the main character had to say I realized that being single is one of the best things that could have ever happened to me.

And it will be the best thing that ever happened to you.

I wasn't happy that the character found her happy ending, I was happy for myself.

You will date the wrong guy so many times until you find the one to spend the rest of your life with. You will fall back into bad habits and you will one day learn to break them.

We all believe everything that a guy tells us. If they are sweet and caring we will fall faster, you have to realize that once he tosses you aside he should never be given that opportunity again.

Although this movie is called "How to be Single" it was not just directly for single people.The movie shows girls all around the world that it is ok to be alone, you don't always have to sleep next to someone every night and it is ok to eat dinner alone. But it is also perfectly okay to have someone by your side and to have a shoulder to lean on.

You just have to discover who you are.

Your friends will forever be there for you. Your friends will be there as a shoulder to cry on, friends will forever be there for you when a boy/guy can not. With your friends by your side, you can never be alone. True friends are so hard to find, and although it might be hard to find a good guy your friends will always be there.

Once you know what you want and need in life you will find someone who is worth spending the rest of your life with.

Stop believing that relationships are the only way to be happy and savor the single life.

So erase Tinder and Bumble. Stop searching for the "perfect" person to make you happy. Start looking for the moments that will make memories, because memories last forever and never go away.

Remember, just because you are single doesn't mean you are alone.

"The thing about single is you should cherish it."

love you lots my single pringle xoxo

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
