Newsflash: Guys Are Just As Confusing As Girls

And no, this does not give you an excuse to act like an ass.

We always hear things like "Girls are so confusing." or "I never know how she's really feeling. Why can't she just be straight forward?". We don't hear things like this about guys very often. But the truth is, guys are just as confusing as girls. Maybe even more confusing at times.

As girls, we are expected to be more emotional and sensitive, but that is not always the case. Everyone is different. Guys could easily be more emotional or more sensitive than girls.

In my experience, I have known many guys to be extremely confusing. Actually, almost all of them that I have come in contact with have never been straight forward with me about how they feel or what they want. I've had guys who seemed like they were head over heels for me and then disappear the next day. How do you explain that? Girls get such a bad rep for being "confusing" or "noncommittal", but guys are just as bad.

I've dealt with many experiences where this could be applied. Once, the guy I was talking to had no idea what he wanted. One day he wanted me, and the next he was too busy to pay attention to me. Another guy completely ghosted on me after the first date. He came back into my life a few months later just to ghost on me again. One guy told me he loved me, and three days later he took it back.

Some guys do things that I really question. I will never understand how they think some of these things are acceptable. I know for a fact that many girls wouldn't do some of the things guys deem as "acceptable" when it comes to another person's feelings.

Men seem to be less worried about another person's feelings and more worried about their own. I think the same can be said for women, but we tend to be worried more about both sets of feelings rather than just our own. Many just want to protect their hearts. I know I do. However, not giving someone a reason for your actions is not cool.

Instead of leaving someone hanging, try communication. This is something that is really lacking in the millennial generation. No one knows how to talk to each other anymore. This will lead to less confusion overall. Communication is key, and I can't stress that enough.

THIS GOES FOR MEN, TOO.

Ever get frustrated because your girl is flipping out? It's probably being you're not communicating enough about your intentions.

Do yourselves a favor and talk to one another. I promise it will help.

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.
