Why You Need To Wait For Mr. Right

“No matter how long it takes, true love is always worth that wait.” I'm a firm believe when it comes to this quote. Why rush and look for love when you can just have it come to you? Well, here is why.

I am young, I know, but I am always told that I'm a lot more mature and wiser than the people my age. Also, it is possible to meet your first love at a young age and it actually work out, I've seen it for myself. So, if you're single, looking for love, or desperate for a boyfriend, keep on reading. I may be young, but if a young individual can figure this out, so can you.

I didn't get my first boyfriend until the summer I was going into high school. Sure, I had a few crushes and little flings here and there before I got my first real boyfriend but sometimes, I would feel lonely, weird that I didn't have a boyfriend, and would even pray for one.

The year before high school, I was a very happy person. I was always with my best friend at the time, Lauren, and we were both in cheer. I had a small thing for cheer and was learning about myself and what I was capable of. My focus going into high school was not on a boyfriend, but on homecoming, pep sessions, and getting my license.

I also learned to be alone and to be okay with it. I didn't strive for a boyfriend or that be the only thing I worried about. I was happy on my own and that's all that mattered to me. A boyfriend was never a need, I did feel lonely, but I knew I would find one eventually and being single all through high school is something I accepted a long time ago.

When I wasn't worried about if I had a boyfriend or not, was when I met my first love and so far, the only. I met him because my friend, Lauren, met up with a guy and he was with him. Right after I met him, I just knew. I had to have him and fortunately, I got him and still have him, two and a half years later.

I guess you could say, I got pretty lucky, as my first real boyfriend turned out to be a keeper. But, he came around when I wasn't looking for anything and turned out to be something I didn't know I needed. Now, I don't know what I would do without him. Having a boyfriend is nice, but being patient and waiting for a keeper instead of wasting your time on losers is so much better.

The point is, even though I felt alone and out of place because I didn't have a boyfriend or talked to a bunch of guys, like all my other friends did, I was happy on my own and learned to love myself. Stop signing up for match.com and start signing up for a zumba class that you've always wanted to do. Start loving yourself and finding yourself, instead of trying to figure out why you can't get a boyfriend. Love is hard to find, but if you stop focusing on your want for a boyfriend, it might just find you, as it did me.

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.
