A Message From The Girl Who Actually Knows What She Wants
Maddison Stahmer

Oh aren't those the most beautiful words you've ever seen? Certain things in life are meant to fall together at the most imperfect time, but in the most lovely way.

I don't have all of the answers for what my future holds, but I don't need an explanation for them all either. Recently, I was asked why I walked away from a guy, he was super genuine, kind hearted, seemed to have his life together, but I wasn't feeling it. Yet, that didn't seem to be a good enough reason not to stay...why?

We all think there's a reason for everything that happens in this life but truth be told, there isn't. Sometimes things fall apart so others can fall together but other times, things fall apart simply because they're meant to fall apart. We don't have to explain every emotion we're feeling. We don't have to explain why we do everything we do. Sometimes, we just do because we want to. Not because of a particular reason. There doesn't need to be a production, reaction, or reason for every occurrence.

I know what I want in the simple ways. I know what I want to feel when I'm with someone. This isn't one of those "he puts the stars in my sky" kind of feelings. It's one of those things where you just click. The conversation flows, the goofy, wild child inside of me can come out and I don't feel like I look foolish. We have common interests. These are the things I want. If there's no spark, what's the point?

I know how I want to be spoken to and with. I want educated conversation. I want to learn life's ins and outs with someone. I want my soul to shine through my skin because in 20 years - hell, in 10 years, this young face won't look the same but the soul inside of me will remain. I want to be spoken to with respect and loved whole heartedly. There's nothing worse than watching two people force something that is toxic. Our mind, body, and soul all work together to build a beautiful life. Why jeopardize your future happiness with someone who will never let your light shine through?

I know I want spontaneous, crazy, goofy love. I'm sick of being told I'm too much. That shouldn't be a thing. So what I want cake for breakfast? I totally want to go skydiving. No, I don't think every trip needs to be planned in advanced. I want to live in the moment, taking chances as they come. I want to share these precious memories with someone who wants to be there. There's nothing worse than feeling like your dragging someone along, imagine doing that your entire life? I'll pass.

I want someone who is simply an accessory to my life, not my whole life. There is no reason to devote every aspect of your being to someone. I am already complete on my own but who doesn't love adding a little sparkle to their look? Of course there will be different interests but that's the best part. Who knows, maybe their different interests will become my new interests.

The saying opposites attract isn't true in all cases. Sometimes, I want someone who wants the same thing. Someone who can see from my perspective and knows how to enjoy the view. I want someone who can appreciate my kind of crazy.

From the girl who knows what she wants - I refuse to settle.

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.
