The Boy You Want Doesn't Want You, Stop Falling

Guys are worst than girls when it comes to relationships.

News flash, Justin Bieber. Guys are worst than girls, so I'm calling BS on "What Do You Mean." You see, Justin Bieber thinks girls are supposed to be the indecisive ones, except it's the other way around when it comes to being in a relationship.

How can you tell a girl you want her and only her, see her exclusively, take her on dates, and then 6 months into it, tell her you're not ready for a relationship? But then you tell her you don't want to lose her?

You originally got together to see how it would go, and things have been going great for half a year. The girl eventually decides she wants to establish your relationship, and you're not on the same page. So you break it off. Okay, fine, nothing wrong with that. But don't go crying to her because you're breaking it off with her, saying you want to be with her but you just can't. What do you mean?!

You compare yourself to tragically heroic character of a drama, who has to break it off with his girl to protect her safety or the bad guys will take her hostage. How is it the same at all? You say you can't provide everything she deserves, so you would rather break it off than figure things out together. She has happily taken trips to McDonald's and spent nights downtown with the other guys. All she asks for is commitment.

If you say that it's not the right time to be in a relationship because you can't provide everything the girl deserves, and the only thing important to her is commitment, something sounds plain shady. You're not the main character of a drama; this is real life and you're messing with another human being's emotions.

In the event that you absolutely can't be with the girl for reasons that can't be explained DON'T DRAG HER AROUND. You're scared she'll actually move on from you if you completely let her go, so you try to keep her just close enough that she can't let go. You say let's stop hanging out so we can distance ourselves, but then a week later say let's talk so we can reach closure, and with the intentions of drawing her back in when it comes to the talk.

Well guess what? You're only going to end up hurting yourself in the end. You're playing yourself. Not only is she going to get over you, but it's not going to be pretty. Say goodbye of a chance of being together when "the time is finally right." You were better off just telling her straight up that you can't reciprocate her feelings or that you don't see a future with her. Just say what you actually mean without half-ass excuses, please.

Think about when you were a kid, about to sit in a chair, and someone pulled the chair from underneath you so you fell flat on your butt. That's the comparison you should be using, boys. The girl is more like the fool trying to sit down than the damsel in distress from the tv show you watch. Maybe you should focus more on pushing a girl's chair in if you actually care about her.

Girls may not know how to pick a restaurant for dinner, but at least they know how to say yes or no to a relationship.

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.
