To get love, you must give love.

Living in a "need for love" generation, but not giving it

So many times I see on social media relationship goals, how people have this insatiable want for love, and what they want from a partner.

I even do this.

I and a majority of my peers are between eighteen to around twenty-three.

Even though we have a lot of life ahead of us, we want to me the love of our lives as soon as possible. Sadly for most of us, it doesn't happen that soon. We want all of these things at such a young age. But when we think we find them, they're frail and sensitive and don't always work out.

This generation is too busy trying to be a "savage" instead of spreading love and positive thoughts. You can call out anyone on Twitter, comment on anyone's status on Facebook; but at the end of the day what are you really doing for yourself? Much less for others?

I think that before we try and receive the love we think we deserve, we need to love ourselves and make ourselves able to love each other. From peers to a significant other.

Being a good person and doing good things will, in turn, get you the love you desire from all angles.

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.
