My Girlfriend, Anxiety

I may be difficult but I promise I'm worth it.

Congratulations; you've made it further than most guys will ever go. You managed to stay long enough to break down my walls, which most consider an impossible feat. I'm the code that can't be cracked and now I'm yours. All the work you put in to get this far will all be worth it and everything you've already observed and learned about me will begin to make sense.

There will be days when I wake up in silence and I'm numb to all emotions; when you reach out to comfort me I'll pull away. I don't know why I wake up feeling numb when I have someone who makes me feel so alive, and I'm sorry that I'm not able to explain everything going on in my head to you. Sometimes I don't even understand. My mind is constantly working at 100mph. I notice everything and I pick up on the slightest changes in body language, tone and behavior. Because of this, I drive myself over thinking every thing about you. Sometimes I won't believe you when you say you love me because sometimes I don't even love myself.

People with anxiety have extremely heightened emotions. Whether or not they are shown or openly expressed, they are still there. Anxiety is viewed as a burden or relationship baggage because of the fact that we're on a semi steady emotional roller coaster. However, once my walls come down, you'll realize you will never find someone who will love you like me. My over thinking will turn into thoughtfulness. I'll remember all the secrets you divulged to me when you were drunk and I'll never speak of them again. I may have trouble verbalizing how I feel about you, but I know what songs make you cry, how you like your coffee in the morning and what sweatshirt is your favorite.

I may be fighting myself everyday to let you in and the idea of someone loving me is something so far off it seems like it only happens in fairytales, but I will put my brain through hell to make it happen because the amount of love I have for you trumps all the doubts clouding up the back of my mind. You deserve it for staying and not giving up on me. I may be difficult but I promise I'm worth it. Thanks for sticking around.

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.
