Saying No To Disrespect

You deserve the best.

Saying No To Disrespect
Tomi Talks

Sometimes, as girls, we force things we know will not work. One of the most common examples includes relationships. Imagine that you have been with a guy through all the ups and downs he has put you through. You know deep down this relationship will not go far because he is not treating you the way you deserve. He is a good person and he is giving you all that he can offer, but you make up excuses saying, “Well maybe with time things will get better.” All type of excuses and ideas pop up in your head on why you should stay with him. Deep down inside a little voice is telling you that this guy is not for you. He may have the whole package but if this package is not written with your name on it why stay.

She didn’t have a kinesthetic love for him and there was no type of spark or feeling, to say the least. She knew she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life with him, but she continued to pretend like everything was okay praying that the Lord send her a sign. She finally got tired of his disrespectful ways towards her because he was acting more like a single person than like a person in a relationship. With his nasty temper and unapologetic ways, she threw in the towel saying enough is enough. She realized that the age old saying was actually true: what you allow will always continue. She knew her worth and knew that this was not how a Queen was supposed to be treated.

Some of you are probably wondering why it took her so long to leave. We as girls sometimes become blindsided and afraid of being alone. Let us all remember that we have to love ourselves and put ourselves first before anyone can come in and reciprocate that love. Ladies we have to remember we are designed to uphold ourselves as Queens at all times which means we will not put our reputation or morals at risk no matter what. We deserve nothing but the best let’s not settle for anything less.

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.
