OK, let's be honest, you've probably had a one-night stand guy, you've probably had the casual 'f**k boy', the late night booty call, or maybe a few of each. So, once you get the 'nice guy' you don't exactly understand how to deal with it. Or in some cases the disguised nice guy. So, this leads to having to thank your boyfriend alll over social media for everyone to see. Which leads us to the fact that you shouldn't have to thank your boyfriend for being a great boyfriend. Yes, I did just say that. Have I done it before? Yes, but I shouldn't of.

You should never have to thank your boyfriend for treating you with respect because literally everyone is supposed to treat each other with respect. You shouldn't have to thank your boyfriend for not talking to that girl that tries to flirt with him because he shouldn't try to do something that would hurt your relationship. You shouldn't have to thank your boyfriend for spending time with you because that is part of the relationship ya know? Why do you thank your boyfriend for the silliest of things?

Is it because you haven't been treated right in the past? Is it because you feel like you don't deserve it? It is because it feels like a privilege?

Well, hate to break it to you, but you need to stop thanking your boyfriend for being a great boyfriend.

You see, a lot of people that relationships last a longer amount of time usually don't have to thank their boyfriends or their fiances or their husbands because they know how to treat a lady.

STOP thanking your boyfriend for doing the simplest of tasks because it isn't worth it.

I've thanked guys in the past and they literally would do nothing for me, I wonder why? I'm not saying don't show appreciation towards your boyfriend, I'm not saying don't say thank you when they bring you something by surprise, I'm saying to stop thanking them for doing something that men are supposed to do. Appreciate him, love him, and be happy with him, but stop thanking him for doing things that he should be doing.

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.
