Internet Versus Real Life

I am treated amazing and I do not need social media to prove it.

Internet Versus Real Life
Makayla Davis

My boyfriend has never put me on his social media as his Woman Crush Wednesday. That is totally okay with me. That does not mean he loves me any less than other relationships who do have it on their social medias. I personally have my boyfriend all over mine. People believe it would bother me, but it doesn't. I know my boyfriend loves me. I maybe biased but we are the cutest couple ever. We jump through obstacles in our relationship with ease. He treats me with respect and always makes sure I am happy. Now why does it matter if it is on social media?

People do like to be shown off to the world. They love being a WCW or a MCM. They love all the cutesy comments on each others walls and photos saying how amazing each of them are, Nothing is wrong with that. I love seeing the love on social media myself. But I do not expect my own boyfriend to do it. Social media is every one's personal diary. How they choose to post is on them. I should not ever tell him that he should post something sweet about me. That is telling him I am insecure on how he feels about me and I care about what others think of our relationship.

If it is my birthday, my boyfriend is with me. He does not need to make a collage of pictures posted on instagram and a super long paragraph on how much he loves me. Instead, he is at dinner with me and is making my night special. I may not get the sweet notes on social media on how much he loves me, but he does tell me to my face all the time.

I know that when I see him, he will treat me better than anyone has ever treated me. If people hang around us then they see it. They will see I have the best man ever. I do not need confirmation through the internet that he loves me. I can tell by the way he treats me and looks at me everyday. I do not ever have to prove that to the world. I do not need confirmation that everyone sees that my boyfriend thinks I am cute. This is my relationship and I will never compare it to others. He still loves me more than anything without the internet to tell me.

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.
