You Deserve Someone Better

You might not want to hear it...but maybe it's the truth

You Deserve Someone Better

Girl, Let me tell you something right now. You are special! You are beautiful. You are sweet. You are kind. You are incredible!

If any guy you are with tries to tell you otherwise...why are you with him? You deserve so much if the guy you are with doesn't encourage you, doesn't communicate with you, and ultimately just acts like he doesn't care about you... why be with him?

I know you don't want to think about it. Girl, I don't like even thinking back on it. It's upsetting just sitting here thinking about how much I wished just a few years ago someone would have told me this exact thing. Trust me I can say I've been in the same shoes as you. I've felt like in the back of my head the guy I was with wasn't the one I should be with. I had girls telling me exactly what they saw but since they were my friends I just thought they were saying something just because. I didn't see it the way they saw it I continued to think.

I would tell myself...

They don't see us together. He's different when we are alone.
They don't want to see me so happy when their lifes not going the way they want.
I"m happy.
He says he likes me and needs me.
He says he cares.
If we aren't together will someone else want me?

They kept trying to tell me and I kept shutting off my ears. I didn't want to hear it. But my heart knew it was true and I cried myself to sleep some nights not wanting their words to be the truth.

But hunny, you deserve someone who sometimes (not always) texts you first. You deserve someone who encourages you but is also honest with you when they need to be. You need someone who is willing to listen and communicate with you. You deserve someone who is there for you when you need them. You deserve that guy who will open your car door when he picks you up for a date. You deserve that guy who will surprise you with a visit just because he was thinking of you. You deserve someone who reminds you that you are indeed quite special.

You don't deserve...

The guy who tells you if you don't do something (you don't want to do) that he will break up with you
The guy who isn't encouraging
The guy who is always negative when they talk about you
The guy who is selfish
The guy who is rude to your friends
The guy who expects you to drop everything for them that exact minute
The guy who doesn't support your dreams

I don't know who needs to read this. It might be for you or maybe your friend but whoever it may be...you deserve better. I wish I would have read this a few years ago. It would have saved me some wasted time. But my friends tried to tell me and I just wouldn't listen. It's my own fault. So maybe it will help you realize the truth that you need to hear.

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.
