Love Never Fails

Family is forever.

Love Never Fails
Jojo Williams

If you really knew me,

you would know that my sister is my best friend,

My mom is my rock,

My siblings are my closest friends,

My dad is always there for me

And my family always comes first.

~

Growing up I have struggled with friendships and trusting people.

All through junior high and high school, I struggled with friendships. I had so many "friends" come and go. It just became a routine. I would make a friend and I would let them into my life and out of nowhere they would use me and then toss me.

I always thought it was me.

That I was to blame for them not wanting to be friends with me anymore.

I found that over time, I felt that I was being used, and when I would finally express how I felt, I was in the wrong for accusing them for doing such a thing. Then it would turn into a HUGE drama fest.

All the sudden it was me versus my "friend" and the 20 other people they would bring into the situation to back them up.

I found myself cornered, as if I had to surrender as if I did something wrong and I had to apologize for calling them out on their bull s***.

Why did I do this?

Why did I let people use me?

Because I am a good friend. Because loyalty means something to me. Because I gave everyone the benefit of the doubt and put my full trust in them.

Oh, did I learn a lesson after being walked all over for the past 10 years.

All these people would come into my life, and I thought they knew everything about me.

Oh, how I was wrong. They didn't know me at all. If they did know me they would know they can't walk all over me without my family stepping in.

I thank God every day for the family he gave me, because every time someone was trying to attack me I had;

My mom calling the CIA for back up and getting all information on the beotch,

My sister starting up the car to be the getaway driver,

My sister-in-law sharpening the knives,

My dad thinking of all the ways he could publicly embarrass them,

My step-dad thinking of all the ways we could physically hurt them without getting arrested

My step-mom teaching me all the bad words to call that b**** in Spanish,

My brother-in-law planning the dank after party "that is INVITE ONLY"

And my brothers buying all the eggs in the store so that we could egg the s*** out of the house of the b**** that was trying to get all up in my face.

So, the next time someone tries to mess with me they should know that it is them plus the 20 friends they bring into the situation versus me and the 150 family members I have (give or take a few) that will kick their A** and they won't even see it coming.

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.
