To The Girl Who Is Torn Between Moving On And Second Chances

There is a point where you need to let go.

One of my biggest problems in life is that I'm continuously torn between cutting people off and being patient with them.

I don't want to miss an amazing opportunity with someone, but then again, are they really worth all the over-thinking, questions, and possibly even a wait?

In life in general, it can be hard sometimes to determine who you have to go through a storm for in order to flourish in the sunshine and who's just toxic and not meant to have a seat at the table of your life... which by the way, not everyone deserves a spot.

Girl, a woman will do any and everything to make a relationship work... and that is why she will almost never regret it when it is time to walk away. If your absence doesn't affect him, then your presence never truly mattered. And they can't blame you for walking away if they never made you want to stay.

At some point, you may realize that you have done too much for someone and that the only possible next step is to simply stop. Stop giving them your attention. Stop letting them cloud your thoughts. And lastly, stop letting them keep you from living your best life.

It's not that you're walking away because you're "giving up."

You're walking away because one day, you finally had to draw the line between determination and desperation.

The more chances you give someone, the less respect they'll start to have for you. They will most likely ignore any standards you've set together because they know that another chance is always waiting for them... don't give them that chance.

I'm a firm believer in the fact that if you're brave enough to say "goodbye," then life will grant you with another "hello."

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.
