Stop Stressing That You're Single

For the longest time, I thought I had to be with someone. I thought that I needed the love from someone else besides my friends and family, and I did everything to be in a relationship. I joined dating websites, went out to clubs to find viable partners, and many other things I am not very proud to admit. But it does not always have to be like that.

It's okay to be on your own.

It took me forever to get over my ex. I thought that I still needed him in my life to make me feel happy. There was safety, security, and whatever positive wording you could use, I am pretty sure there was that sort of giddy feeling. I mistook that suffocation as security, though. I used to think of him often, wondering what he was up to or something like that. Everyday things would often remind me of him, and it felt super wicked that my mind would play these tricks on me. Luckily, the less I thought of him, the more I became less stressed. The more I reminded myself that the relationship was very toxic to my life, the easier it was for me to forget him. Now, the memories are bittersweet, but I don't think of him often at all.

Dating websites are chock full of people that don't have your feelings in mind. I found that out the hard way. Sure, it is a stereotype to find only people to "hump and dump" as I like to call it. You never know if you will find a rare gem or two on there or not. I thought I would find one but that was terrible, trust me, do not resort to that. Although I am still on there, it is just to check or find a good bio or two that make me giggle.

Clubbing or any social situation is the same exact way. Maybe there might be a slight chance that there will be your knight in shining armor to hold your hair back, but they are slim. Most of the guys just want to bump and grind. Sorry to burst your little bubble. I say this with all of the greatest intentions, I swear! But, hey, they do dance well. There are some positives coming out of this. Save that number for later if you are into that. I am not judging you there. It is just not my cup of tea.

All in all, it is your choice whether you want to stay single or not. I'm just putting my two cents in on the matter. Just know that I find you very beautiful. If you feel discouraged for being single, do not feel bad. I am single too, and look how beautiful I am. I choose to be this way now. I have accepted it. I am not saying you have to accept it, but I have. Just you do you, girlfriend. I am here for you if you need me, just hit me up if you need advice or cheering up!

Now, I hope you liked that one! I'm considering doing a special secret video next week! So tune in for that! Hope you all have a wonderful week, and I'll see your lovely faces in the next one! Deuces!

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.
