The History Of Wrong Guys

I've been making bad choices since the beginning of time.

The History Of Wrong Guys
SheKnows

I think I have been making bad choices since birth. This one time when I was a kid, I stole a stuffed lion from a store. Another time, I got my leg stuck in a playground set until my mom had to get me. And yet another time, I tried to run away from home because I couldn’t go to the pool on the coldest day of the summer.

Bad choices are kind of my specialty. But as soon as I grew up a little bit and guys came into the mix, bad choices turned into a series of unfortunate events.

This one time, I was “proposed” to during Beyonce’s "Single Ladies" in front of the school. Another time, on my very first date, my mom got so nervous that I was doing something crazy that she tracked my location on my phone not knowing it would let out this awful beeping sound from my phone.

Then later in the night, she invited the same guy in for hot chocolate, not knowing that I completely denied him a kiss at the end of the night. Another time, I set up who I thought was “the love of my life” with another person.

They’re still together, by the way.

Needless to say, I’m not lucky in love.

There’s this song from Kinky Boots called “The History of Wrong Guys” where a girl sings about how she’s been unlucky in love. There's the bum, the guy who’s not into you, the sleaze, the person who likes the girl next door, the guy who likes the boy next door and, of course, the guy who is immature.

Yet, she gets back in the game every time. She nearly goes crazy a few times. But at the end of the day, she decides to go for it again. To be honest, I haven’t listened to the music beyond this point, but I’m sure it works out in the end.

Or if it doesn’t, it’s a nice addition to a set of failures she’ll soon be able to laugh at. Honestly, when it comes to bad choices, that is not the worst punishment in the world.

I mean, after all, nothing can beat the Beyonce thing, right?

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.
