To Those Who Let The Little Things Ruin Their Relationship

I'm going to start off by saying relationships are never perfect. No matter how much people emphasis on how "perfect" their relationship, it isn't. I'm not saying there aren't good relationships. Hell, my relationship is one of the healthiest and I'm very proud of that. To me, my relationship is perfect, but there's still bickering. There's still disagreements, but that's healthy too.

I've watched many people break off a relationship for one little argument. For one little moment of anger, over something that isn't even worth your breath. It makes me sad - I'm not going to lie. Watching a what you would call perfect, but more preferably, good relationship hit the rocks because of one argument.

Your significant other is going to have flaws that you don't like. There's going to be something that they do/have/whatever that gets under your skin sometimes, or annoys the living crap out of you. But that's in part of the balance. You need the balance. You need to have differences because if you're too much alike, your relationship with suffer as well.

Maybe your boyfriends a know-it-all sometimes. Or your girlfriend likes to talk a lot. But that's who they are. That's them. When you decide to date them, you're taking the good with the bad. It's part of life, it's a balance. You have to prioritize what you want in a relationship.

If you have a boyfriend who's really good to you, always being a gentlemen, put's your firs, would you want to ruin it over a stupid fight? All that good stuff, but you guys have different opinions on something and it escalates to a higher level rather than just talking it out, is it worth it? You're loosing someone who cared for you like no one else. You're loosing someone who loved you and made sure you were happy. Is it worth throwing away something that just had one bad day out of hundreds of good ones?

You may be angry, you both may be so mad at each other, but the love should't stop. A small argument can break up such a beautiful relationship because people like to be petty. They don't like one thing and that's it. They're done.

I'm tired of watching pettiness get the best of people, small little flaws and arguments get in the way of something that could be so good. Pettiness can get in the way and it's frustrating to watch.

So this is just a reminder to stop and think about what you have before you break it off. Before you let the petty monster come out to play, stop and think. Can someone treat you this good again? Is this flaw/little thing actually worth loosing your boyfriend or girlfriend over? If you break it off, are you going to regret it? Think about these things and I'll guarantee the answer will be different than when you're in the moment of anger.

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.
