Love Reality VS. Self-Thinking
Pictures 4Ever

Love is a weird thing that is very different to people. But is it truthfully? Not really. There is what we think love is and then there is what love is in reality. But everyone thinks differently and it can be difficult to decide the difference between just a thought and the reality.

So, in most people’s eyes, love is finding someone that you can agree with but not fully. It also means that the two people were meant to be together. These two people usually are interested in each other and have usually known each other for a while or so. They could get to know each other very well over the course of days, weeks or months and be very comfortable with one another. This ends up being a friendship, then best friends, and then they become a couple. This is the most common thought concerning love, but it is not the only one. Most people think of love as a way to meet a soulmate or the person that will be with them forever.

In reality, love is nothing more than the hardest thing you could ever possibly do. It is a road that gets traveled way too many times and only gets more and more divots. Everyone who travels down this road is met with hardship and the fact that it is just fights, arguments and anger. Metaphorically, it rains pain and hardship. But those who take the time and work through everything with their significant other can make to the end of the road and be able to say they found true happiness. This is true and to most people, it is what their thought process points out love as. This version most people do not agree with but everyone at least knows this way as true or just a thought.

So, the one question that is on everyone’s mind as they read this article is why love is so strange? Well, it is because no one even understands it. So, if it is so misunderstood then why do we seek it so much? Will anyone ever know what it means? Probably not to be honest, but ever since ancient times, people fell in love with other people. Love, whether reality or just your own definition, is a very misunderstood and complex thing to have and experience. And this makes things complicated and can be particularly strange to everyone. So, go find love and see how your definition varies from person to person, and relationship to relationship.

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.
