Separate Bedrooms

To be or not to be bedmates?

Relationships are about compromise, love, and hopefully great conversation.

We all had the relationship with ourselves, the one we tried to have the best of times with and then realized, maybe it's time to think more on the lines of we instead of me?

Scary? I know. When you're in love with yourself, the only we you want to say is French and to many good things in life.

And don't get me wrong, relationships are beautiful and so is marriage but the one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is the bedroom. No couple is perfect and if you are, I'd like to meet you and take notes.

The problem is, nine times out of ten you are strange bedpersons and in an ideal world there would be no strange about it but here we are.

Is there anything wrong with wanting separate bedrooms? Maybe an adjoining door?

Here's a scenario and because I'm totally PC, I'll give fake names:

Sally likes her room to be 65 degrees, no noise except the overhead fan and night lights because apparently she's still twelve. John likes 75 and no fan with a ocean playing in the background. Someone forgot to warn John that he's in Georgia and not Gulf Shores. But the worst of all is John's horrid snoring that chops down 95 trees per minute.

What is a girl to do?! And while compromise is a wonderful democratic move some things require a little less compromise and a little more innovation.

Why does separate bedrooms have to be taboo? It's not a sign of anything bad to come in the relationship or even distancing yourself.

Sometimes the best couple just needs a peaceful night's sleep and the frigid cold to make one happy. And even happy endings can happen once you cross over the adjoining door.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
