A Letter To All My Single Ladies
Cheney Mason

Ladies,

In today's society it seems that everyone either has a boyfriend or at least some kind of "thing" with someone, which leaves us single girls to feel a bit left out. But why the heck should we? Just because us single ladies are able to have a solid and independent relationship with our own selves does not mean that we are selfish.

Girls, we don't need a boyfriend to make us feel happy or wanted! It is so important to build up our own self empire and show ourselves the love that we truly deserve before we have to share it with some guy. Being confident in yourself is key. Too often do I hear of girls complaining about being lonely and in need of a guy to feel happy or content with themselves because they are afraid nobody will ever like them. In all honesty, relationships are a lot of work! Have confidence in yourself that you are capable of being on your own for a while without feeling the need to be dependent on a guy. Depending on a guy for happiness is one of the worst things we can do for ourselves! It is hard to not feel bad for yourself when you see all of your friends getting into relationships; take advantage of this single-ness, and have fun with life. Don't put yourself down about being single, it isn't a bad thing like some people try to label it as. It's so easy to settle or feel rushed to find a guy because for some reason we all get this idea in our heads that if we don't, we'll be single forever. The fact is, that isn't true at all! Don't feel rushed to get into anything, especially if it is solely based on the pressure from all of the cute couples posting pictures together on Instagram and Facebook. I am a strong believer that there is someone for everyone, and when the time is right, it will work out. This world is filled with so many guys that chances are the perfect man is waiting somewhere, and you just have yet to find him. And that's not something to worry over. Being single sounds lonely, but in all reality it could turn out to be what we really need for ourselves to figure out what makes us happy. Being single allows us to be a little selfish and that's not something we should have to be sorry for. I have found some of my best friends being single, and it has turned out to be some of the best years of my life!

The main thing is we don't deserve to be feeling upset or even embarrassed that we are not in a relationship! Enjoy your single-ness for as long as you would like. Sometimes it's easy to wish we were in a relationship because it seems easier to achieve happiness, but in reality, we're doing just fine on our own.

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.
