Love is a word that has changed drastically over time, and will only continue to change. Relationships aren't what they used to be, and are not lasting as long as they should, in some cases. This is either for the reason that people don't take love seriously anymore, or because the two people were not meant for one another. People often find themselves falling for the wrong one, and aren't sure why it keeps happening to them. The constant question of 'Will I ever find my other half?', lingers in individuals brains for centuries.

People wonder if it's them, or if their standards are set too high. Love is tough, but I am here to tell those people the answer is No. No it is not you, and no your standards are not too high. The higher your standards, the more likely you are to find the one person you will spend your life with. You can no longer look for the person that seems to be dating material, but instead, the person that is life material. Just continue to wait it out because, I promise, that person is out there.

Here is a little help and insight on the person you should keep your eye out for:


... Will make you laugh

... Annoys the heck out of you

... Has the same respect for you as they do their mother

... Understands ice cream is a food group

... Drives around aimlessly with you, because you're just in one of those moods

... Can tolerate you at your worst

... Understands the importance of family

... Never lets you forget how special you are

... Always gives you a reason to smile, even if you aren't physically with them

... Isn't embarrassed to bring you around their friends

... Is kind and compassionate

... Isn't afraid to tell you no

... Constantly motivates and supports you

... Won't play with your heart

... Doesn't care if you ditch them to hang out with your dog

... Is not only selfless, but also a little bit selfish

... Hasn't given you a reason not to trust them

... You can be a complete fool with

... Is also your best friend

... You think is right

... Is worth the wait.

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.
