Don't Be A Second Choice

You're perfect to me

Don't Be A Second Choice
gygb.com

We've all been in a situation in our lives where we've felt like we were a second choice. For a job, a relationship, even a friendship. But there's always a girl that feels like that all the time - no matter how hard she tries, no matter what she does, there is ALWAYS something or someone better. This is for you.

You're aware of what is happening. You are sitting there with your phone on the table, waiting for the text that won't come to your phone. You have done the thing that people have warned you not to do. You have all your hope and desires for that one person. You never thought you would be waiting.

I believe something indescribable happens when we fall for someone. It feels like we are actually falling and losing our grasp on everything and everyone around us. We always talk about how love can make someone crazy, and it definitely can. And if this person that you are falling for puts you as a second choice, it can tear you up inside.

When we allow this to happen, we are just letting someone dictate your worth. And trust me when I say, I completely understand. There can be times when we let love repress us so much that we are willing to let bad things happen. For example, when someone is in an abusive relationship. The person that is being abused is blindsided because the can't accept the fact that the person they love would do such a terrible thing.

But you deserve someone who feels the fire for you like you do for them. It's not enough being the understudy just waiting for your moment to shine. Even when you do such an amazing job of convincing yourself that everything is just fine but in reality it's not. You need to know your worth and know that your perfect match is out there. They will love you unconditionally no matter what.

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.
