Some Things You Should Know Before Dating Me

Might as well just get it all out in the open now. Better now than later.

I came across this video and began to wonder what I would want anyone who was interested in dating me to know about me. Not that I’m avidly looking for anyone at the moment, nor do I even have the time to invest in a relationship right now, but to all my future boyfriend(s), I wish you the best of luck.

Hopefully, we both come out unscathed and alive.

1. I’m still a kid at heart.

Specifically, one who loves to swing.

2. I have a serious case of RBF.

I’m kind of self-conscious about it because obviously, no one wants to come off as a scary bitch for no reason, but when I’m working or just really deep in thought, the RBF takes over. If I look like I might want to kill someone, I probably don’t. But in some cases, I might. Perhaps it’s in your best interest that you tread with caution.

3. I absolutely hate drying the dishes.

I do not mind washing them or putting them away once they are dried, but I simply cannot reason with the idea of deliberately drying the dishes off of the dish rack when air can simply fulfill that role for me. So, either you deal with a Tetris of dishes piled beside the sink, or you can dry them, and I will gladly put them away.

4. Don’t fight my battles for me.

Believe it or not, there’s quite a bit of fight in me. However, I do expect you to have my back.

5. I am extremely competitive.

Whether it’s playing a board game or in real life, I strive to win. And I will do everything in my power to win. Except cheat, of course.

6. You may oftentimes find me in a room with the lights on, the TV blaring and me, sleeping soundlessly.

Do not worry about my surroundings, I am probably having the best sleep of my life. But the second you fall asleep, and if you’re a snorer, start snoring, I will wake up and poke you until you stop. Because even though I may be able to sleep through almost anything, I cannot stand the sound of snoring. Side note, when I am tired, I tend to snore. And you’re in luck because I am tired a lot.

7. Some days I am going to want to be alone.

As much as we may enjoy each other’s company, I am not going to lie, at times, I may feel like you are suffocating me. And I genuinely mean it when I say it is not you, it’s me. I need my alone time. People tend to be surprised by this especially given my outgoing personality, but I value doing things alone. Please don’t be offended and no, I am not mad at you. I just need to be alone.

8. Cheat on me, and you’re dead to me.

No excuses. Definitely no second chances. You’re out.

9. My family means a lot to me, so you have to get along with my family and my family has to like you.

It’s not that I do not trust my own intuition, but the thing is, my family probably knows me better than I know myself. So, if they happen to think that you are not good for me or you guys do not get along, well then, there is going to be a problem.

10. I’m a Gemini, so I may or may not have already changed my mind on half of these.

If I haven’t, I probably will.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
