Mood Swings

Try to get better or try to have fun?

"Describe yourself when you're alone," he said, looking at me expectantly.

"Lonely," I said, looking down.

He was probably expecting some extravagant answer, but that's all I really had to say.

"You depend on other people?"

Well, that's an easy answer.

"Yes."

And now he's probably gonna scold me and tell me how I shouldn't.

"I do too. Couldn't even get better. Had to get a girlfriend in order to 'find myself,' but honest truth is I just found her. Don't know too much about myself."

This was taking an odd turn. I liked talking to him though.

"I'm very self-aware I just long for someone else to complete me. I feel lonely when I know that I have no eyes lingering on me."

He started laughing. "I feel out of place when people are looking at me."

It's a weird thought, for me at least, to not enjoy getting attention from people. "I might just be the biggest narcissist. I have a big problem with thinking I'm better than everybody else. I've got a huge ego and I can't tell you where it came from."

He sighed. "I don't think there is anything wrong with seeing yourself better."

"Don't encourage it because I see everything wrong with it." I started to get up, but he started talking again, quickly beckoning me to continue talking with him.

"I'm sorry you're lonely, but the only way to get over that is to find someone, in your case. You ought to do just that."

Now I could see where this is going. "And you're that someone I assume?"

He acted offended, "What? Me? I'm just doing what I can to get out of here and get better. I'm not looking for a girlfriend."

"Who said anything about girlfriend?"

He started blushing.

"Hey, I'm just messing with you. I'd be lucky to be your girlfriend. You were just hurting my ego a little bit."

His mood changed quick. "Hey, I don't know if this is such a good idea with the state of mind we are both in."

As if that would put an end to this.

"Good idea or not, I'm not gonna stop this if you're aren't."

He started smiling. I could change his moods changed quick, but it kept me interested. Usually I get up and leave conversations around now, but now I was too intrigued to just leave.

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.
