Can someone tell me?

"Where Do The Good Boys Go To Hide Away"

There's a song I've recently heard a lot on the radio, and it's called Hide Away by Daya, and it's really catchy; I even sing it in the shower. Yet this song asks a really great question: "Where do the good boys go to hide away?" and it got me thinking, where do they hide? Apparently with everyone I know getting married and engaged, they are finding them somewhere. Can ya'll help a sister out and tell me where ya'll are finding these good guys, and where do I get one because I'm not finding them?

When I was high school, I thought good boys hid in college and then I got to college. Then honestly I didn't even think a "good boy" existed; like dinosaurs they were extinct. Maybe because of Nicholas Sparks and Disney I have unreal expectations; I know no one is perfect, but I do have some things I call deal-breakers; if you do these things then the deal (our relationship) is done or off. Mine are if you don't love Jesus, and if you drink or smoke. If you do these things, I probably won't give you a chance to be real with me. Basically, I want a good boy or a Christian boy, and let me tell you they are hard to find. I've looked in church and other places, but these boys hiding in trees or something. I know my deal-markers seem unrealistic especially in college, but I know that boys like this have to be somewhere.

Maybe I friendzone these guys; yeah, I'm guilty of this, or maybe they friendzone me because I'm a good girl. I love Jesus, I don't drink, and I don't smoke. I'm also very innocent, and apparently that's not "sexy" anymore, and boys don't look for that. Sorry, but I disagree with that. Me being confident in who I am is sexy, and boys that don't like me for who I am can go hide away.

Are all the good boys taken and that's why we can't find them? Have they all been picked over or swept away? I mean, come on, girls couldn't you have saved us some of the good apples instead of leaving us with the rotten ones that holler at us when we walk down the street?

I know there's a good apple somewhere, though, even if it's hard to find. Girls, don't settle for the bad apples when there's a good apple waiting for you. You know your worth and wait to find a good boy that understands that you're worth the commitment, and not just a one night stand. Just keep waiting, things take time like for apples to ripen and to be good apples that are are perfect to picked.

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.
