Modern Day Monogamy

Does that still exist?

Modern Day Monogamy
Chicago Tribune

First, lets begin the reading of this article with a CLEAR definition of what monogamy means: (muh-nog-uh-mee) noun: marriage with only one person at a time. Okay second, allow me to remove the concept of "Marriage" out of the equation and let's just hypothetically say the factual definition was revolving around a "relationship" with only ONE person at a time. Okay? cool. Now that I have your mind up to date to where I'm going with this... Allow me to ask any reader who stumbles across this article: Do you think Monogamy (relationship wise) still exists? Or has the modern generation ruined all hope of what true love was supposed to be for us? Why do I ask? Why not? It's all we ever talk about on social media these days.Everyone's prone to following up on what "relationship goals" they want to be like when they think they found someone to post the cute pictures with the long love song lyrics as the caption... until someone else has something to say, which you may not have known about, and then, you're left to delete the post completely and post the bitter heart break status about how everyone is all the same and nothing is ever real anymore, yada yada and so on. Tell me I'm wrong. I'm not? Thought so. Now next, Why? Why is it becoming more and more difficult to be hands in ten does down with just ONE human being, whether it is of the same sex or not, I personally don't care about that, that's not the focus of today's conversation folks.

I personally was raised in a household tha tyou don't up and wipe your hands with your significant other after one or two maybe even ten rainy days. I mean think about it, would flowers still blossom just as beautifully if there was no rain interaction with the plant? Yeah i didn't think so either. So why has my generation become so lazy at the effort aspect of relationships. Better question for you: Why has my generation failed to take a relationship serious before even getting into one? We're the kids on the block these days that always have trust issues and can't seem to drop everyone else they've been "entertaining" in the mean time between time while getting to know someone in the whole confusing head ache process of "dating", if that even happens anymore. Seriously though, what does it take for guys and girls to only take their time with ONE person at a time? Oh wait, nothing is ever good enough anymore and everyone wants something to fall back on if that makes sense.


Now answer this in your head for me: If you have something to fall back on if all fails with your current relationship that you were supposed to be all in with from the beginning, were you really ever all in? No. you weren't therefore, you contributed to the growing population of players and pimps ruining an innocent persons heartfelt ways. How did you contribute to this revolving error? Because now you just reproduced a inner savage within someone that didn't even have to be, and now they're set our to do the same thing YOU JUST DID. And now, the good, sweet, kind hear-ted people population is dwindling down because its every man for themselves in the game that we were supposed to enter willing to risk it all for a shot of sharing true happiness with ONE person. Catch my drift? If not, you'll come around to some regrettable posts on someone's Instagram today, I'm sure.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
