The side chick epidemic.

What is a side chick you ask? A side chick is a woman who is involved with a man romantically, while that man is in a relationship with another female. In this situation there could be two possible wrong characters. The man is wrong (aren't they always), and the side chick could possibly be wrong.

To be labeled as a side chick is not a very positive title, being the side chick could be something out of innocence if you do not know that that man is involved with someone else. If this is the case the accidental side chick is not in the wrong. Now if she saw hints of infidelity and didn't question them, then there's not as much pity on her. Now if this woman was fully aware of the man and his relationship with his significant other, than she deserves the title of "The Side Chick," and she is a disgrace to all women.

It does not matter if the man pursued the side chick and knew he is in a relationship, men are dogs and that is what is expected of them. Now as a woman you should know the difficulties of dealing with men, and see that it is already hard enough without dealing with a third party in the relationship. As a woman you should respect their relationship, even if the home is already broken, that does not give you the right to step into it or break it up even more.

Then there are the proud side chicks who have really become more popular. The woman who boasts about it, and puts it all over social media, and makes songs about being the other woman. What satisfaction does one get out of breaking up another relationship, and being the second choice. Then when the other woman confronts the side chick, the woman has the nerve to defend herself like she is in the right. Like Tammy Rivera (Rapper Waka Flocka's significant other) said "Even if it's not me, it's still not going to be you boo."

The side chick is ultimately harming herself in the end because you are falling for someone who is already tied to another person, so in the end there is a large possibility that the man is going to pick his main woman, leaving the side chick hurt and felt as if she wasted her time.


The song "Piece of Your Love" by local R&B artist iBeFoolyn chorus says, "Can I have a piece of your love, Tell you B**** I like you, F*** she going to do, when she see's me with you." Then it's not only women glorifying the Side Chick epidemic, men have done it as well with the song "Pulling Up," by The Weekend and Meek Mill, or the song "Boyfriend Number 2," by Pleasure P. In the song "Pulling Up," it says "Tell your man to wait inside when I'm pulling up" repeatedly, and "Boyfriend Number 2" says in the intro, "I don't mind being the dude on the side."

So this is a dog eat dog world, neither sex is right. Men have their side pieces while women could have their's as well. Having a person on the side is not a way out, it does not help the relationship; it hurts it even more. If the relationship gets to the point where a third party needs to be brought in, just end it with your significant other, so no infidelity is involved....it's that simple.

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.
