It's Time To Walk Away From People That Are Hurting You
The Odyssey

I think it's pretty obvious that life goes pretty fast. Getting good grades, having fun and getting enough sleep are the key essentials to doing life right. So is surrounding yourself with positive people. Sounds easy right? ...You'd be surprised.

I have seen the endless tweets that consist of something along the lines of "Why do I keep going back to people who hurt me?". Let me answer this question honestly.

I have absolutely no idea why you are doing that. I suggest making some adjustments to your life.

You're in a relationship. Your partner seems like they love you and would do anything for you. You claim to love them. Let me ask you this: how much do you love somebody if every other day you announce that if they "do that one more time then I'm done". If your relationship was a healthy one, would you ever think of ending it? When you resort to subtweeting about your partner instead of confronting them face to face, how much do you love them?

How much do they love you if they belittle you and put you down? How much do they love you if you are breaking up and getting back together? Is that necessary if everything is fine? When they are controlling and tell you who you can and can't talk to, they are acting as if you are their property. Only you're not. You're a person. A wonderful person with amazing qualities that any person worth your time would be lucky to have in their life. You deserve someone who will bring out the best in you, will make you feel like the most important person in the entire world, and who will want to be rational instead of fight. So what the hell are you sticking around for?

You have a group of friends. It seems perfect. You've finally found people you are comfortable around. You claim that they are your best friends, yet you're sitting in your bed watching Snapchat stories of them hanging out without you. They ignore you when you hang out with them. They never text you first. But this is apparently what you want.

No. What you want are friends who will stick by your side and listen to all of your problems. You want friends who will ask you to go on adventures with them, since you are that important. You want friends who are text you first. Wait, you don't want to be alone? I don't care. Being alone is a thousand times better than being around others that can't appreciate what you have to offer. So what are you doing trying to bend over backwards for them?

When you sense that a person possesses toxic qualities, you should drop all communication with them and avoid them at all costs. But why on Earth is this so hard to do? Why do people keep going back to others that hurt them? Are you afraid of hurting their feelings or coming off as rude? Guess what, they will always be way more rude than you for not realizing how amazing you are. Feel like nobody else will love you? Wrong. There's someone out there for everyone, whether it be a partner or friends. No matter how much somebody tells you that you need them, it is false. You don't need anybody to complete you.

I really wish that more people would realize their worth and make changes in their life to accomodate. Once you let go of the negativity, your life will change drastically

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.
