Stop Giving Me Relationship Advice When I’m Not Asking For It
@couplegoals

To the people who think they’re giving helpful advice when not asked: STOP!

We all have that one friend, family member, or even acquaintance who just always seems to be in our business. They always want to know if there’s any drama in our life instead of worrying about themselves. Too many times girls have tried to give me relationship advice, acting like they know my relationship better than I do, and frankly, I’m over it.

I love a little gossip occasionally (who doesn’t?). I want to know what you and your boyfriend have been up to, and I will gladly share what I’ve been up to with mine. However, a line needs to be drawn when you start criticizing me and judging my relationship. I’m all for improving my relationship and learning ways to do so, but sometimes I don’t want your opinion, nor did I ask for it.

I’m not sure how me talking about things we've done leads to you analyzing my whole life and relationship, but I’m done listening.

In the beginning, I used to take the advice. But the only place that left me was in a heated argument with my boyfriend. Why? Because you don’t know anything about my relationship.

Every relationship is different and every couple has different things that work for them. That’s what makes things interesting. But when you’re too concerned about how my relationship is doing rather than focusing on your own, we have an issue.

Girls, stop judging other girls for every little decision they make in their relationship. Chances are, you do the exact same thing, and in my case, you're doing things even worse. So please, worry about your own problems.

I’m not saying I don’t want to talk about my relationship, we’re girls it’s what we do. All I’m saying is stop acting like your relationship is better than mine, and stop “advising” me about things when you not only don’t know the full story, but don’t know my relationship.

Sincerely,

All girls in relationships

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.
