Too Good To Be True Doesn't Mean It's Not Real

No one is perfect, nothing is perfect, but some things do come together perfectly.

Too Good To Be True Doesn't Mean It's Not Real
Katie Pyle

We hear it all the time, "it's just too good to be true." We're all guilty of thinking it or saying it at one point or another, but what do we really mean when we say this? We find something or someone that seems perfect and we immediately ask ourselves what the catch could be, what the hidden flaw is or worry about how we could mess it up. We're looking at these situations as something that's too good to be true and it's scary when something is finally working and it finally fits together. Why are we so set on finding the one flaw in a seemingly perfect situation?

No one is perfect, nothing is perfect but some things do come together perfectly. We shouldn't be scared just because someone or something finally comes together. In life we have little bumps in the road there's no avoiding it, what we seem to forget is that all of these "bumps" are part of our story that brings us to where we're meant to be. The bumps teach us lessons but also teach us how to appreciate someone so much more when we're in a good spot.

It's important for us to stop looking at things as too good to be true, it makes us anxious, feeling like it's bound to come to an end because you can't believe this could actually be happening. I always catch myself holding my breath in certain situations that I'm so happy in because I don't want things to change, but when I do this I forget to truly enjoy the moment. If you have a good thing going, embrace it, embrace every moment, every phase and every step of the way, even embrace the changes you face. Change doesn't have to be a bad thing, change can be growing with this person; chances are if it's fitting together and is just too good to be true, maybe you found your person, right where you're supposed to be and you'll face changes together rather than apart. Just because things change doesn't mean things are going downhill, things can change for the better and in all reality, things are always changing for the better; letting things come together that are meant to.

When the most unexpected things fit together, run with it. Don't look for something to be wrong, be grateful and know you're lucky to have found something or someone like this for you. Trust your instincts, if you have something that's going great, let it. It's working out for a reason. Everything always works out in the end, things come together the way they were meant to, but we can't forget to put our own feet in motion. If you care about something, express it; you can't take a moment back but you can make that moment grow into something incredible. Too good to be true, may just become your reality.

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.
