Swaying Back and Forth In and Out of "Liking"

It becomes really hard when you are in that limbo phase when you don't know if the person likes you and you don't know if you like the person.

Swaying Back and Forth In and Out of "Liking"

I think we have all been through it before. That weird limbo phase when you have found a special honey that catches your eye, but you are not sure if you have caught their eye. And, I for one, have been through this for A LOT sadly. And, it shows with how weird the relationship becomes. It becomes really hard when you are in that limbo phase when you don't know if the person likes you and you don't know if you like the person. For yourself, you have to determine whether you want to go for it but you aren't sure.

This is especially true for me as I have never wanted to rush into things without confirming my feelings. When it comes to situations like these, I tend to be so fickle about my feelings. I always feel a rush of a crush in the beginning, but the later I wait, the more fickle my feelings become. In this way, I always keep swaying in and out of "liking", there are things that the person does that just makes my heart melt. but, I always waver because I see something questionable they do. I know its too unrealistic to think that someone would fit perfectly enough to not make me waver. But, I avidly do not want to start something I cannot handle or finish.

I want to know what I am getting myself into because especially if its something as significant as a relationship. And, thus, I get stuck in this weird place between liking and not liking. When the other person does something super sweet or that I feel like would fit so well, I legit cannot handle it. But, I always approach with precaution because I am not sure if I will continue to stay like this. And, I get stuck between elation and denial. It is a weird place to be absolutely level headed and then become crazy over a crush again and again.

For all you people experiencing this feeling out there, know you are not alone, and it sucks. The key is to know what you want and pursue it. Sad things is- I do not know what I want.

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.
