Your Job Is Not To Keep A Man Interested

“You don’t find your worth in a man. You find your worth within yourself and then find a man who’s worthy of you. Remember that.”

Your Job Is Not To Keep A Man Interested

There are currently 288,000,000 articles that come up when you search “how to keep him interested.” Not to mention other articles titled, “how to make him want you,” and “how to keep him interested in a relationship.” It began to make me wonder, why is this topic so popular? Why is it that women feel the need to try so desperately to keep a man’s focus on just them, something that the right man should be doing anyway? Why is it that women are willing to mold and change themselves just to hopefully please a man?

To those women: you are worth more than that. You deserve someone that loves you, faults and all. You shouldn’t have to calculate your every move for him to be interested in you. You are worthy of unconditional love. You deserve someone that believes that you are interesting. You are better than allowing someone to make you believe that you are not capable of being loved fully. Why would you want to be with someone who makes you feel unhappy with who you are? Why would you want to be with someone who makes you feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells just to be with him? If that is how he makes you feel, he does not deserve to be with you.

What every woman deserves, is a man who loves you and encourages you to love yourself. He should empower you to be the best woman that you can be. He should love you whole heartedly, just as you love him. He should smile at the fact that you snort when you laugh and he should think that you’re still strikingly beautiful with no make-up on and messy hair. That’s the kind of love that lasts. Not trying to mold into the other person’s vision of who you should be.

The most important thing for every woman to know is to love and respect themselves. Know your worth. Know that you are capable of being loved. Know that there is so much more to life than finding someone who will want you or being sad over someone who doesn’t. When you are busy loving yourself, that’s when God truly blesses you.

You deserve a man that loves you, respects you, and pursues you. Do not try to calculate your actions just to keep a man. Do not settle for a man not worthy of your love. Wait for a man that will treat you better than you could ever imagine; but until then, always value and love yourself.

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.
