He may not tell you, but the little things really do add up.

I recently talked with my boyfriend about the things that I do for him that he really appreciates or makes him happy. You may not think your boyfriend notices, ladies, but he does. He adores you and the little things that you do really add up. Here are just a few things that guys are actually glad you do.

1. Ask him how his day was/is

This is a really simple and sweet question to ask. It shows him you care and it’ll start conversation between you.

2. Asking/making sure he is okay 

Guys can’t always hold up the “tough guy” persona. Sometimes they need to be checked on and made sure they’re doing okay. This is another simple way to show you care.

3. Complimenting him 

Believe it or not, they like to receive compliments, too. If he is looking like a snack, tell him.

4. Playing with his hair

Now, not all boys are going to like this. Personally, my boyfriend does and I don’t mind doing so. This can be really calming for them and help them to relax.

5. Your hugs 

He LOVES your hugs. Especially when you don’t see each other for a while, the reunion is always a lot sweeter (distance makes the heart grow fonder, right?).

6. When you talk to him about things 

They like knowing you can come to them if you need to talk. Communication is super important in a relationship. Even if it isn’t about your relationship he does want to know when something is bothering you.

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.
