Dating in 2017? I don't know her! I wish I did, though. I've been a hopeless romantic for as long as I can remember. Dating culture is pretty much dead at this point. If you're lucky enough to be in a healthy relationship, just know I'm rooting for you! I truly hope that someday a guy comes along and sweeps me off my feet. If you happen to steal my heart, this one is for you.

It's been a long time coming. I never dreamed of having a Prince Charming. I always dreamt of having a best friend. I hope that before we jump into a relationship we're able to form a bond over music or sports. This won't work if we don't. I want to give you my entire heart. I know I will. I've always been one to just dive right in. I don't hold back. I'll get scared just before we make it official. I don't know if that's normal. I want to assume it is. You won't see me pull away. If anything you'll see me wanting you more. I want to be the one who sets the pace. If I get too far ahead of myself, for the love of god please stop me. I don't want to humiliate myself.

Please be gentle with my heart. I've watched too many relationships fall apart. My past isn't the prettiest place. You'll probably see the side effects of that down the road. haven't had the best role models for relationships. I've learned what not to do. If I ever find us in a situation that emulates one I've seen, I hope I'm strong enough to learn from their mistakes. I've been lucky enough to see my friends in relationships. I know what a healthy love life looks like. I don't want to fool anyone. There's no reason to front on Instagram or Snapchat. I'd rather keep our relationship between us and not our followers.

I'm a complete and utter hopeless romantic. I'm going to want date nights. I'll be so excited when you tell me you're coming over. I'll probably want to nap with you more than actually going out to dinner. However, I do have some dates in mind. Sports have always been a part of my life so just know that we'll end up at a Sox or Bruins game. I will spoil you. I've always wanted to have a boyfriend who I could shower with love. You always see girls bragging about being spoiled but I'd much rather spoil you. I'm not opposed to being spoiled but just know that I'm naturally a giver.

You've given me a reason to give you my heart. At this point, I have a reason to believe this could be a good thing. I've got good intentions and I hope you do as well. It won't always be sunshine and flowers but I hope we get through the storms.It'd be an honor to see a side of you that not many people see. I hope you reach for my hand when you're driving. If I'm driving I hope you look at me like I'm your entire world. Actually, scratch that... I hope you're singing along to the radio with me. If you ever need a friend, just know I'll be the one who will listen to you regardless. I hope you come into my life and I hope you're here to stay.

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.
