"I want to be with them, but I don't know."

Finding someone who genuinely cares about you and would do anything for you in today's world seems nearly impossible, so when you find that someone who does, never let them go. "I don't know if I want to be with them," well make a decision to either be or not be with them. Don't keep dragging them along if you're never going to commit to them. When you realize you've found someone irreplaceable and realize you're done playing games, make sure you tell them you appreciate everything they do for you.

If they text you when you haven't replied to their text in hours or days, keep them. If they deal with all the bullsh*t you throw their way, keep them. If they're dedicated to just you before you even start dating, keep them. If they make the effort to be with you, keep them. If they do little things to show they care, keep them. If they remember little details about you without you reminding them, keep them.

Wake up and text them back, learn to deal with their bullsh*t, be dedicated to only them, make an effort to be with them, show them you care and pay attention to them. Never take that person for granted, because if you continue to because you're unsure you want to be with them, you'll eventually lose them. They'll get tired of putting in effort and caring for someone who doesn't care for them. All anyone ever wants is to be treated equally and see the same effort put towards them as they put towards someone else.

Clearly this person is crazy for you and would do anything for you. Open your eyes to how good they are to you and stop playing games. You're driving them crazy by saying all these things--you love them, they make you happy, you only want to be with them-- but then you never show it. Pick your phone up and text them, not some of the others you've still been texting incase it doesn't work out with them.

You don't even know it, but when they hear your name they smile. You're on their mind all the time and they always want to talk about you. But eventually they begin to refrain from saying your name because they don't know where they stand with you. They've put their feelings on the line, they've opened up to you, they've decided they want to be with you and you've basically ignored them or are still unsure of what you want.

They're waiting for you, so stop being selfish. Either be with them or let them go. If you aren't completely, madly head over heels for them, don't keep them around. Let them move on because they're getting tired of your games. Be with only them or not with them at all. They deserve to be treated way better, and if you don't treat them the way they know they should be treated, they're going to go find it somewhere else.

So stop with this whole game playing. It's not benefiting anyone; its just playing with hearts and minds. If you have someone like this who genuinely cares about you, hold it down before someone else swoops in and takes them from you.

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.
