When You Do Fall, Fall Hard

If you ever have the chance to fall in love, do it. But don’t rush things, what’s meant to be will be.

Being in love is the best and the worst thing that could ever happen to someone. It’s the best feeling you could ever experience but if it ever comes to an end, it’s hands down some of the worst pain you’ll ever experience.

If you asked me a year ago how I felt about being in love, I would say don’t do it, it’ll never work out in the end, you’ll leave the relationship heartbroken. I still stand by these opinions but now I say if you ever have the chance to fall in love, do it, with the right person, that is.

Don’t just fall in love because you want to, do it because the timing is right. The expression “the stars were aligned” should be put in place here, something that is meant to be and effortless will lead to a happy, healthy relationship.

So, if you ever get the chance, take it. I cannot stress enough that it must be in good timing. Timing is everything when it comes to falling in love.

When you do decide to fall in love, fall in love with someone you know that’s going to fall in love with you back, that’s the only restriction I have.

And when you do fall, love with everything in you. Falling in love should be taken seriously by both parties, if it’s meant to be you’ll know.

Do things the right way or it won’t work out. And in the end, it might not work out at all, but I can assure you that while you’re in love you will learn so many things about yourself.

You’ll learn how to love, how to care, and how to put your wants and needs aside to make someone else happy. You’ll learn your boundaries, you’ll find out how far love will take you and how it brings positivity to your life.

Constant butterflies.

That’s literally what it feels like to be in love. Your heart will scream with happiness all hours of the day. You should fall in love because it’s the one thing that I can’t explain. It’s the one thing that makes sense. It’s the one thing that everyone looks for in life.

You will crave the presence of your partner, you will be so caught up in them that you forget about the entire world around you. You will fall in love with their flaws and love them unconditionally, which is the purest, most beautiful form of love.

On the other hand, love is super tricky, because when it's going well, it’s great, but when things get bad, it’s bad.

To ensure a healthy relationship, be mature. Don’t fall in love or let someone fall in love with you if you know you’re not ready for that. Don’t hurt people because you’re too immature to communicate your feelings, because karma is real, and she will come for you.

People in my generation are so afraid of getting hurt and no one wants the responsibility or the commitment. Stop being afraid. And start loving. Be a lover, not a fighter.

And if you’re not looking for a relationship, that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean you can’t love people in general. It’s not a crime to love someone or to be kind.

If you ever have the chance to fall in love, do it. But don’t rush things, what’s meant to be will be. You might just fall in love with your soulmate and live happily ever after.

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.
