When Someone New Steals Your Heart

When someone new steals your heart, you're filled with many mixed feelings. You're excited but cautious, electrified but tame, intoxicated but vigilant. You've found this new person that somehow got under your skin. For forever, it seems, you've been left to look over past experiences for an ounce of thrill and the euphoria of falling in love, thinking that you'll never find someone as worthwhile as they were. But them comes in this person: someone that's unlike anyone you've ever met.

When someone new steals your heart, you're over the moon. You never thought it would happen again, you never thought you'd get off the single train, but hey, welcome back. The euphoria sets in, and you can't help but thinking about the next time you're gonna see him or her. Their smile, a smile you wanna start getting used to, makes your day. Their presence is just a breath of fresh air. You never thought someone new could do that, but they're doing it with even a little more flair, and you can't help but begin to fall for them, but...

When someone new steals your heart, you're a little cautious. You may have been down this road of a relationship before, you don't want to go all in — just to protect yourself from a potential heartbreak. Oh yes, you remember those times of heartbreak very well. They were times where you can't help but think how you messed up, times filled with instant regret and self-hatred, and times where you couldn't even look at the face in the mirror. You don't want another repeat of that. You're holding onto a grip of reality, knowing that it may not end well, that you may be hurt, and that your heart may be left in shambles, but if you don't try, you'll never know.

When someone new steals your heart, steal theirs. Be crazy stupid in love; take a chance on this new person who rocks your world with just one look from their big brown eyes. When you find someone that makes your heart flutter, cut the search for "the one" and take a risk. Maybe they'll tear your heart to shreds, maybe you'll take a while to bounce back, but at least you'll know how it ends. And over time, your heart is going to start to build emotional callouses, and the bad stuff will have almost zero affect on your wellbeing, because you've been through the hellish emotional roller-coaster rides and ups and downs of relationships starting and crumbling down. But maybe, just maybe, if the stars align and it works out, and it turns out you and this new person, who isn't going to be new forever, are in love for years to come, well hey, don't say I didn't tell you so.

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.
