Maybe You Are Being A 'Lauren Akins Girlfriend,' But You Don't Have A 'Thomas Rhett Boyfriend'

If he doesn't remind you, “All I need in this life is your crazy love,” it’s time to find someone who will.

If it weren’t for relationships like Lauren Akins and Thomas Rhett’s, I’m convinced that we’d lose our fairytale fantasies of what love should really look like.

Numerous articles have been written about their beautiful romance. In particular, this one really had me thinking about why we choose to settle in our relationships.

One line struck a chord with me, “Maybe our boyfriends are looking for a Lauren Akins just as much as we are looking for a Thomas Rhett.” I don’t deny that it isn’t true because guys are looking for that woman who encourages them to go after their dreams, yet also challenges them by holding them accountable.

Let’s consider this:

What if we ARE giving our boyfriends that Lauren Akins love but aren’t receiving that Thomas Rhett love in return?

I’ve seen so many girls give all of themselves to guys who treated them like shit. They let themselves fall into this trap of believing, “Oh, I already know he loves me, he doesn’t have to show it 24/7.” Yet if he doesn’t show you he loves you at least some of the time, then I’d say you’ve got an unhealthy relationship.

I am NOT saying that it’s all about the physical stuff, it’s about the little things he does for you to show you how much he loves you. It’s him getting the oil changed on your car when he noticed the light on your dash yesterday because he knows you’re super busy that week. It’s him cooking you dinner (even if it is just something in the microwave) just so you two can spend extra time together at the end of a long day.

I get it: this may not be every single week of your relationship because life is crazy and things WILL get in the way, but it’s up to you two on how you’re going to get through it together.

What’s the point of living this life if you don’t share it with someone?

Ladies, if your boyfriend isn’t giving you that Thomas Rhett love, then he needs to go. If you’re giving that Lauren Akins love to someone who doesn’t remind you, “All I need in this life is your crazy love,” it’s time to find someone who will.

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.
