So You Think You Want To Be Gay?

Same-sex relationships are not always rainbows and unicorns.

So You Think You Want To Be Gay?

Imagine this: you've had yet another fight with your boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, baby daddy or your baby mama, you're at your wits end and you think, "My life would be so much easier if I were gay!" Because being with a the same sex puts you at an advantage since they know what you like and women are sensitive and men are strong and bold...well you're wrong. I'm here to tell you that gay relationships are just as crazy, if not crazier than heterosexual ones.

Not only do we fight about the same things: money, kids, work, sex, chores, doing this or doing that, we (women) are emotionally driven creatures, you get two women who are PMS'ing and you better watch out! It turns in to the next world war in this house. We have jealous moments and senseless arguments, we feel inadequate at times, just like a straight couple would after a fight. We have regrets about our past relationships or sexual encounters, there are decisions we wish we had made when it came to exes just like the straights.

There is also the hidden community of domestic violence within same-sex relationships that people don't think can happen, but a woman can be just as manipulative and terrifying to another woman, and a man can beat the heck out of another man and be just as violent as, if not more, than a straight couple. Not everything is rainbows and unicorns like some things would have you believe. Actually, I wish that it was, it would make things a lot easier sometimes.

We gays, deal with the same amount, if not more drama than straights too. Have you ever argued with a gay boy? Think about this. Have you ever been confronted by a butch girl? If you have then you have written the rest of this article, if you haven't let me try to explain. There are some queens out there that are sassier than the sassiest girl you know, and there are some butches out there that can give the biggest man a run for his money. Basically, don't let looks fool you.

In spite of all of this, there is love and when it is uninhibited, just like any love, it is perfect. It can be magical rainbows and unicorns. It can be successful, we have families and friends who we love too. Everything works out, it just so happens that we love the same sex. Which isn't as big of a deal as it used to be, but there are still the skeptics, well to those who question our lives, just know that it's not always easy, but we do what makes us happy.

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.
