Why It's OK If You Fall Too Fast

Because then you truly know who is meant to be in your life.

Why It's OK If You Fall Too Fast
huffingtonpost

All my life, everyone always told me not to fall in love too fast because I could get hurt in the end, and as much as that may be true, I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing to fall for someone too fast, because to me, that means you really see the best in someone, and that's what makes people fall so fast.

I write a lot about love, because that is what I feel like I know best, for whatever reason, and I don't just mean with a significant other or family, but also in some way, with my friends. I always try to find the best in people when making friends, and I always seem to get attached to people, no matter who they are. I have never been good at making friends, but the ones I do have are friends that know more about me than most people. I don't let a lot of people in my life because I have felt the consequences of people walking away one too many times.

When it comes to love, either with friends or with my significant other I tend to trust way too easily, and that is why I fall so quickly. All my life, people told me not to trust too easily and not to fall in love too quickly, because I would only get hurt in the end, but whenever I try to stop myself from falling for someone--seeing the best in people and wanting them in my life, it doesn't work.

When I say it's ok to fall too fast, I say that not just because I know from personal experience, but also because like I stated previously, it means that you really do see the best in people, and that no matter what is going on in your life and no matter what is going on in general, letting someone in--whether it be a friend or a significant other, is not always a bad thing, falling quickly happens, and sometimes you can't stop it, sometimes it is what is meant to happen at the time, and that is what should happen, but a lot of people don't see it that way.

Many people see falling too quickly as just another way to get hurt because the other person may not feel the same way. In many cases, this may be true, with friends or even a significant other. Falling too quickly may not end up in the best possible way, but even if it doesn't and you lose a friend or you lose the person that you saw yourself with in the future, whatever the case, it may be for the best, because if they walk away, maybe they weren't the right fit for your life in the first place, maybe you weren't meant to have that person in your life, and that is a huge part of why falling too fast--in any case, is ok, because then you truly know, who is meant to be in your life, and for what reasons, whatever those may be.

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.
