Let Her Go

"Dear Strong Women: You aren't intimidating, He is intimidated. There is a difference"

She is the girl that says every song is her favorite. Because she relates with them all in a different way.

She is the girl that assumes something is wrong when she catches you staring. Because she doesn't believe you could just want to look at her.

She is the girl whose eyes light up when she talks about the things that she loves. Because she puts her whole heart into everything she does.

That includes you.

If you are lucky enough to have a girl like this in your life, make sure you are ready for the life she wants. She wants a family, a best friend, and stability. She wants to know that when she comes home from work (because she is an independent woman with an ambitious career path), that you will be there ready to handle the breakdown that may ensue. She wants a loving husband and an amazing daddy to her children. She wants an adventure partner and a binge-watching buddy. Someone who will laugh with her and make silly faces, but also know when she doesn't want to talk and when it's necessary to be serious.

So if you're not ready to grow up, or to take on responsibilities. If you don't want the life she dreams of, if it scares the crap out of you, then let her go.

Let her be by herself until the right man comes along. One that can handle all of the beauty she has and the person she will be. Let her chase her dreams with no fear of what tomorrow holds. Let her find the strength and courage she had deep within her all along. Let her live the life she was made for.

She will hate you. She will cry and her heart will be broken. She will question what she did wrong. She'll play back every moment you spent together and search for answers. But eventually...

She will thank you. She will see the worth and potential she has. She will see that you couldn't be what she needed right then. You weren't ready for who she was, or the impact that she would have on your life. And that will finally be okay.

So don't crush her spirit. Don't hold her back from the greatness she will achieve. Don't waste her time causing attachment and trust issues. Don't make her small so that you can be comfortable. Save both of yourselves the heartbreak that is to come down the road.

She will be everything she imagined for herself and more, so let her go.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
