Do you deserve the pursuit?

It's His Job To Pursue You, It's Your Job To Deserve It
Andrea de Martin

You read about self-worth and self-confidence all the time. How guys need to earn you and everything you have to offer. They need to earn your time and trust and beauty and love, which I agree with, but only when a girl is deserving.

Women, it starts with you. If you exhaust your love, grace, and service on others, while seeing beauty instead of envy in others, then you are more than deserving of the pursuit of a man.

If you embody selflessness, confidence, a kind heart, and humility, you have every right to put a man to the test and make him earn a place in that special heart of yours.

But you can't demand a man to earn something you're not. He shouldn't be put to the test if you're not serious and confident in the standards you claim to have. It starts with you.

Become the kind of person you want your significant other to be.

If you're shallow, insecure, or jealous, you're not any less worthy of love, but a man is not capable of erasing those characteristics, only your self-love and appreciation is. You have to win yourself over before you can expect a man to violently pursue you and win you over.

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.
