Wanting The One You Can Not Have

Wanting The One You Can Not Have

Everyone knows the saying "you always want what you can't have" and whether its talking about the new purse you can not afford, the cheesy fries you definitely should not eat or the cute boy you have been talking to, it is way too frustrating. If your luck is anything like mine, it seems like boys always come around at the worst possible time. However, if for some reason the timing is perfect, there is a 99% chance that something else will occur to ruin the situation. But, the heart wants what it wants, even when it's out of reach.

In my opinion, the worst part of wanting something you cant have, is that you even want it in the first place. Maybe you cannot have them because of old ex drama, off-timing, or they do not feel the same way- but whatever it is, it sucks. It is basically self torture because as much as you know it will never be, it is almost like it does not matter. You fall anyways, letting yourself become more and more attached to the person and the relationship you want even though you know is out of reach. You get caught up in the present, enjoying the time spent together, not thinking of the future even though you know what it holds. Maybe you try and convince yourself the situation will change and everything will work out because it is going fine so far. Maybe even through all of it, you decide to put it all on the line, hoping it will end in your favor. But it does not. Because it cannot. Because you cannot. For whatever reason, you just cannot, at least in the way you want them. So where do you go from here?

It will hurt. It will suck. It will mess with you because how can you possibly get over someone you never even dated? Where do you even start? Delete their number, mute them on twitter, or un-follow them on Instagram. Why torture yourself with the one thing you want most? Ignore the urges to send that late night text where you tell them how much you care about them. Do not wishful think. Believe it or not, they may not truly be the person you were meant to be with anyways. Maybe all of these situations are necessary to get us to who we really belong with. Rascal Flatts said it best, "God blessed the broken road that pointed straight to 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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
