Always Keep It Playful

It makes your relationship so much more fun

Always Keep It Playful

It sounds childish and silly. Some people say that it it immature, but it's really not. When your significant other and you got together, in some way or another you used to goof around and laugh and do silly things. It's okay that when you get deeper into your relationships and you've been together a while, you sometimes lose that playfulness. Sometimes you forget all of those silly things that you used to do and you fall into a routine. Routines are totally okay, but you should always try to keep things playful in when you can.

Relationships don't have to always be a routine and become mundane. You love your significant other with your whole heart and things should always be fun between you two! Now, this doesn't mean that you need to play games with each other in the sense of messing with your relationship, but finding some fun ways to keep your serious relationship a little lighter in some ways can help relieve the stress that serious relationships can sometimes have.

Try finding a fun thing to do throughout the week like planning a date night or an adventure to break a routine. Plan a fun dinner out at a new restaurant or grab some sandwiches and drive to a scenic spot and eat in your car to shake some things up. It doesn't have to be just a meal, it can be an adventure. If you have a Saturday or Sunday free, you can plan a hike or to go see a movie or even try something you wouldn't usually do, like an Escape Room or go ice skating. It can be something simple like cooking a new recipe together or even just ordering from a new restaurant to try something that you wouldn't usually.

Don't forget to laugh together. Make sure you remember the stupid, silly things you did together when you started dating like have watergun fights or watch a show you both loved that make you laugh. When things get boring bring back those memories to be able to keep things lighter. Don't forget that everyone still has a little bit of a child in them so whether it's something bigger like going to Disney World or something small like seeing a funny movie, it's okay to be vulnerable and remember those silly little things that helped to make you two fall in love.

Keep your relationship fun and playful. Life can be so serious and so draining and it always makes it a little easier when you and your partner can remember to not only laugh at life but laugh together. It might sound silly and immature, but don't forget to always have fun. Relationships have so many serious things that happen in them, but every now and then you need to remember to laugh and have a little fun.

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.
