So, Your Boyfriend Is Gay?

So, Your Boyfriend Is Gay?

So, your boyfriend is gay.

Surprisingly, it's not very uncommon. You are not alone.

Well, you are alone now.

But not alone in the broad sense.

Many girls are unsure how to proceed after dating a gay man.

There are many levels of sadness when it comes to these awkward situations.

It can range from "He Told Me Three Weeks Into Our Relationship And We're Still Friends" to "We Dated For Three Years And I Found Him Making Out With My Brother At A Club" or even "We Dated For Nine Months And He Couldn't Manage To Let Go Of His Sugar Daddy And Also Couldn't Admit That He, A Grown Man, Was Gay For Pay."

No shade intended, of course.

But wherever you are on the scale, there's hope. Not all the good ones are gay!

Well, many of them are, but there are some guys out there for you!

It may take a few months of eating ice cream and crying into your pillow to get back on the dating scene, but you'll make it, and everything will be okay.

Or maybe you're just not ready to date. And that's okay too. You know what the important thing is? No, not Ben and Jerry's, babe. Put the spoon down for one damn second.

It's that you love yourself first.

Yea, it's cliche, but it's true. You have to find love and respect for yourself before you go out looking. You need to treat yourself right before anyone else can even start to give you affection.

To the girls who've dated gay men: You'll live. No matter how much it sucks, you'll live.

And you'll thrive.

But watch out for family events, you know they'll ask what happened to that lovely boy you were dating who was so well dressed and had amazing hair.

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.
