The teeter-tottering mind is another term for being indecisive. It symbolizes the pros and cons in your mind in any situation. Mostly when it deals with relationships and yourself. The questions that create it to teeter is usually, "Am I actually ready for a relationship?" "Do I like actually like him?" "Why does he even like me?"

The answers to the questions are simple, but people like to complicate things and it into 50 shades of complicated instead of the black and white version. People create simple questions to overpower their minds and it's the only subconscious thought they have.

Question: "Am I actually ready for a relationship?"

Answer: If you can say without hesitating hat you are happy with yourself and you love yourself then you're ready. If you are capable of caring and loving someone who you have identified as someone who respects and accepts you for you, with no need to change you, then yes. If you have learned from your past mistakes and not bitter of he past, you are ready,

Question: "Do I actually like him?"

Answer: Stop yourself while you're ahead. This could mean two things, one is you're pulling back because this is all too could to be true because you don't want to get hurt. STOP. BREATHE. REPEAT. Two, is if you are forcing feelings. You're trying very hard to see traits to like about the person and it's not naturally then stop. You're with the wrong person.

Question: "Why does he even like me?"

Answer: You are not ready to date. You are not seeing the amazing traits that he is seeing. You're not seeing how beautiful of a person you are - inside in out pure imperfect perfections in his eyes. If you cannot see how awesome you are, keep truckin' and keep searching. Self-love is a process.

KEEP CALM AND STAY PATIENT. One day the questions will stop and the mind will become balanced. Remain patient and strong. You are a strong independent person with the world to offer to someone and you'll receive one too.

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.
