"It might not be the right time... I might not be the right one, but there's something about us.."

I sang the words to one of my favorite Daft Punk songs as I was finishing up in the shower. Somehow I woke up in the early afternoon without a severe hangover. Surprising considering how much I had to drink. The shower really woke me up and now I had to figure out how I was going to fix this situation I got myself in this time. How the fuck could I possibly forget to go to her house last night? How could I be so forgetful? I was so upset at myself for messing up another time. This was why I said it's mostly me.

Me.

Last night wasn’t even worth it. It was your typical work event. A little bit of awkwardness eased by the liquor in everyone’s system. Yeah I had a fun time, but come to find out the new girl was recently engaged. As much as I wanted to take on those advances I thought she was giving me, if she was even giving me any, I know I didn’t want to involve myself with a situation as messy as that. No amount of Hennessy could change that, I’d learned that in my past being on both sides of that equation.

As I walked into my bedroom I began to think of ways I could "fix" this. I don't even know if fix was the right word. Sometimes when you break things you can "fix" it, but it'll never be how it originally was. Can you even called that fixed? Is a relationship something simple as fix this and move on?

I sighed and buried my face in my hands. This is not going to be simple. A text saying sorry would not work this time. I need to surprise her. Maybe I'll go over to her house... matter fact I'll beat her to it and surprise her as she gets home from work. That'll be good. Food & flowers? Yeah she'd love that. She gets out at what... 7pm today? It is Sunday. What time is it?

5:37 PM.

Alright. I can definitely do this. I decided to make myself a quick recovery meal before I got dressed. I put on What You Won't Do For Love by Bobby Caldwell and got to cooking. I was determined to make this right.

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.
