Toxic Relationships: Don't Settle!

It is not fair to yourself to settle for anything less than you deserve

There comes a point in your toxic relationship where you start to question everything. You wonder if this is all worth it and you wonder if you want to keep trying to make things work, but the answer is right there in front of you: no. If your relationship is toxic, then no, it is not worth it; no you don't have to try to make things work anymore. Why continue to put yourself through hell for someone who isn't worth all that unnecessary trouble? You can do better, you will do better.

Stop settling for the lousy humans who don't treat you the way you deserve to treated. You deserve someone who is going to throw a lasso around the moon to give to you, not someone who is going to make you upset every day. There is a human out there for you who is going to bring you so much joy and happiness that there is no point settling for someone who isn't going to do that for you. Your life is too important to not enjoy every second of it and someone who drags you down doesn't belong there.

Don't settle for anyone who makes you feel less about yourself. Don't settle for anyone who is going to make you question the type of person you are. Don't settle for anyone who is trying to change you or the life that you are living. Don't settle for someone who doesn't want to do any of your favorite things. Don't settle for someone who doesn't bring a smile to your face when you see them after a long day.

You need to realize your worth and let go of anything that is holding you back. There is a human out there for you who is going to be perfect and the human for you, stop settling for someone who makes you feel like hot garbage. Start focusing on yourself and what is going to be the best for you. It's not worth it to be miserable in any relationship or in anything that you're doing, so it's time for you to move on. Don't settle for anything or anyone less than you deserve.

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.
