Where Did You Find Your Soulmate?

The truth about online dating.

Where Did You Find Your Soulmate?
Alyssa Newcomb

Meeting people online tends to beat meeting people in person. Most people lean more towards searching for someone special for them through online dating. They do this because of a lack of luck with people who they have met in person; or, perhaps, everyone that they have dated in the past has come with their own set of issues. Online dating has its difficulties as well. Nothing beats actually meeting your soulmate in person. From the dates to the late night movie nights and deep conversations, everything is better when you've met someone face to face.

People you meet online may not actually be who they portray themselves to be. To some, it's better to hide behind a desktop while being thousand of miles away. It's easier and more comfortable to lie and hide things that may interfere with someone else's life. They have a tendency to also cover up their insecurities which can result in someone getting hurt and feeling like they have wasted their time.

Online dating is not all bad; it also has its positivities as well. You may actually find the missing piece to your puzzle — the piece that you have been searching for your whole life. You may end up meeting your other half, your soulmate, by engaging in this online experience. You meet someone who doesn't just hide behind a desktop and who actually develops the same feelings and has the same intentions that you have.

As I conclude this piece, take a moment to think about these statistics: An estimated 40 billion people in the United States participate in online dating. 66 percent of married couples actually met on online dating sites.

Meeting people online can be the best thing that happened in your life, and can also be the worst. For more information on the percentage of dating people online visit :http://www.match.com/magazine/article/4671/.

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.
