Stop The Fantasy: Social Media Relationships Aren't What They Seem
http://www.blackgirlhealth.com

In today's society, we have created this type of fictional world where everything is supposed to be set in stone. Girls are going around saying #RelationshipGoals and thinking relationships are about taking cute pictures and showing your significant other off to the world. News flash! That’s the complete opposite of what relationship was built upon. Social media is only for you to see what people want to broadcast to the world. No one really shows the real uncut views of being in a relationship and being married. It includes taking that person as themselves and loving them unconditionally. It includes being their backbone when they are feeling discouraged and feel like all hope is gone. Relationships are fun, don’t get me wrong. But, let’s not forget there are ups and downs in anything we really put our all into.

Ladies let’s remember that we must never let a guy disrespect or make us feel any less of a Queen no matter how cute or how much he tells us he loves us. If his actions are not backing him up, then you need to consider letting him go. Make sure you have everything in order within yourself before you bring someone into your life. If you are not ready to add someone else's baggage to your life, then it’s best that you take the time to focus on your life making sure you have everything under control mentally and physically.

You don’t have to wear inappropriate things in order for a guy to like you. Wearing outfits that are revealing is only sending signals that that’s the only thing you have to offer. You want him to have something to wonder about. You don't want to let him see your body before he knows your mindset and views on life. Remember to always put yourself first and never let anyone make you forget your morals and the respect you have for yourself.

Know that relationships are not just rainbows and sunshine, but can also be hurricanes and tornadoes too. Stay patient and everything will fall into place the way God intended.

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.
