Some of us are in beautiful relationships, and that's really cool.

Being in love/in lust/in like is definitely something that can be respected. Some of us are not that lucky, and have not been in a while.

But being single isn't all bad, in fact there are more pros than there are cons:

1. Cuddling is nice, but have you heard of an electric blanket?

There is nothing nicer than turning that thing all the way up and getting into bed with a hot mug in your hand.

2. Chocolate is way better when it's 50% off.

February 15th is a better date anyway.

3. Saving. Money.

One less Christmas gift, one less birthday gift, one less anniversary gift, one less Valentine's day, one less set of flowers for their mother's birthday. You know what you can spend that money on? You.

4. Not shaving your legs.

What's it been? Two weeks? A month? A lifetime? As long as you're comfy, who cares?

5. Work ambition.

It's time to advance your career. You can go anywhere you want to go, work as much as you want, and just be a total badass.

6. Control of the remote.

"Grey's Anatomy" marathon every day for a week? Sounds good.

7. You learn to love being alone.

Is this your 'restorative solitude' phase?

8. You get to experience love in so many different ways.

Pizza and puppies. Mostly pizza.

9. Taking up the whole bed.

It's called a 'queen' bed for a reason right?

10. You can be gross without shame.

Gotta burp? Do it. Poop? Do it with the door open. Hungry? Destroy that burrito in .2 seconds. No one is around to make judgements.

11. You learn to love yourself!

You don't need a romantic relationship to be totally fulfilled. Your self love can be incredibly rewarding. You are incredibly reliable to you. Put on that dress that makes you feel good and have yourself a great girls night out. Treat yourself!

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.
