Why Meeting New People Is Weird

After a break up it is hard to meet new people

21

Recently I broke up with my boyfriend. I won't lie, the way he did it was totally childish and completely ridiculous. He ghosted out on me and just took half his things and left. Well in the wake of his disappearance it has been a great journey and honestly I found happiness again just being by myself. I didn't even realize how miserable he made me. It is nice not coming home to him laying on the couch the house a complete disaster, the dishes are never backed up now because I do them right after dinner, oh and did I mention the nasty junk food I wanted to scream about him eating are now gone! The relief I tell you!

In the wake of me finding my center once again, I have noticed guys constantly flirting and wanting to get to know me. It was crazy to me how when I regained my confidence the young men just lined up. It was like the floodgates had opened. I am not an overly beautiful woman, I am average I think. But when a man stops you and tells you "Miss you are breathtakingly stunning" Megan being the awkward human she is, just points at him and says "zap zap, stunning people is a super power." It was one of those situations that had blossomed into a beautiful friendship that I am really enjoying.

The thing is the timing is just not there right now, I like the company and jokes. But it is a constant battle every day because I really like this guy. I am constantly second guessing myself and feel totally out of my element. Like shoot when am I suppose to text, how much space am I suppose to give him and how frequently should I text. Gosh, I am so out of the dating game I feel a bit lost.

So like I always do I head over to my friendly neighborhood Google search engine and look up how to flirt through text and make sure I do not come across to clingy. I look for things how to work on myself so I feel more secure with myself. As I do this, it was like a bolt of lightning hit me, I am doing just fine. I am not clingy and I am not crazy. All the losers I had dated in the past were the ones who had issues, I am not a bad person and pretty normal by the internet standards.

So as I sit her wondering if I should be funny or not I just want everyone to realize that being insecure is okay. Just embrace your weirdness because I guarantee everyone has them!

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.
