When You Bet On A Guy And Lose

It's okay to take some L's

When You Bet On A Guy And Lose

Girls,

We all know what it feels like to not believe guys in today’s world and this screwed up generation. When we decide that we have a crush on a boy and he all of a sudden starts talking to you you have to talk about it with your friends first. Some of your friends are going to motivate you to talk to him but others are going to tell you not to do it because maybe they have heard some not so good things about this boy and he doesn’t have a good track record. OR more common than not in this world the negative friend telling you not to talk to him doesn’t know anything about him but she has lost faith in boys completely at this point.

I’m here to tell you that if you bet on a guy and lose that it is completely ok. It’s life. Either way you bet you are living your life. Maybe you bet that it wouldn’t work out because you have no faith in guys, your friends convinced you not to do it, or you don’t like what your hearing and you don’t want to take any chances. It is completely okay to protect yourself from guys. Maybe after betting that it wouldn’t work out it ends up he would’ve been a good chance to take. But you already made that choice, your opportunity has gone and passed.

Or maybe you bet on a guy that it would work out and you should take a chance with him and you lost. That is also completely okay. Every girl needs to experience that or will experience that once in their life. You can regret it but there’s no point because it’s a chance you took and at one point you thought it would work out and there is no shame in believing in something and chasing it even though it may not work out. Like I said before, it’s life, it’s called living. Without mistakes we wouldn’t be able to make the right choices and maybe find “the one.”

I think that in today’s world everyone thinks there’s one right way to do things but if I am being completely honest with you there isn’t. You can’t follow what someone else is doing because it worked for them. You had to do what’s best for you or at least what you think is the best for you.

So I say, if you bet on a guy and lose I am sorry but good for you. Take your chance but know your worth. There is a whole big world out there and so many fish in the sea. Find your fish. You may take a few L's but when you find "the one" it's all worth it.

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.
