The Man Child Is A Real Thing

The Man Child Is A Real Thing

The "man child" is someone that no one ever looks forward to dating or being in a relationship with. They are someone who is self-centered like a child, is a pig like a child, or more so a teenage boy, and they never really think about the outcomes of their actions. Although I will admit, I did very much so like this man child, which is sort of embarrassing to think about now. But after realizing many things from the help of my friends and tough love parents, I want to thank this man child for making me realize what a real man is.

I want to start off by saying thank you, man child, for making yourself look like an idiot in front of everyone because you deserve it. Especially after the way you treated me. Thank you for acting like a fool and playing with my emotions and never knowing what you want, because now I know that a real man sticks to what he says he's going to do and will tell me straight up what he wants. I mean c'mon, just tell me how you feel. It's not that hard.

This one is my favorite, though. I want to thank you, again, for being so self-centered. You taught me to love others and care for them because someone like you can make others feel less important. I never knew someone could be so wrapped up in himself, that it's so funny that it's not even funny. You are scared of commitment and being with someone, which makes me want to sympathize with you because you will never get to know how amazing I am, or how amazing any other girl is. All girls are awesome and you can't see that because, well, you're a man child and will most likely be one forever.

Here is my one last huge thank you to the man child for making me an even stronger person. For that, I will give you a compliment: you rock (but not really). Thank you for making me have feelings for you and for making me realize that I don't need someone like you in my life. Because of your ignorance, I have reasons to laugh, and laughing at what you did is pretty great because you look like an idiot and you don't even know you look like an idiot because you're self-centered. See what I did there? Once a man child, most likely always a man child, until their mom slaps some sense into them.

So to the man child in my life, I will be praying for you along with all the other girls who have to encounter you. Thanks for the laughs, the self-esteem booster, and for making me realize what a true man is. You the real MVP.

Xoxo,

Girls

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.
