I gotta take my own advice with this one. I'm super done with hearing from my friends/my friends are done with hearing from me about the guys who fuck us over/we continue to go back to/we never liked in the first place we're just lonely or bored.

Here are 10 reasons to stop settling for that guy you "sort of" like and start focusing on yourself!!!!

1. Plenty of fish in the sea

If you're settling because you think he's the only one that will like you... You are mistaken!! Plenty of guys will like you, so stop being with this lame dude and start finding someone you actually like.


2. It's not fair to him

Not only is it not fair to you to settle, but its not fair to him. What if this guy actually really likes you and you're just tagging him along?? Aw stop that, don't play with peoples emotions.


3. Spend time becoming a better you

Before you find a man, do some things for yourself that maybe this guy you like is stopping you from. Go to the gym, a museum, eat some good food. Do ya thing honey.


4. Start being okay with being alone

This is especially hard for some people who always have a boyfriend, but it's time to sit and chill with yourself for awhile. Being alone is fun when you like yourself!!!! (see #3)


5. He's annoying

I know for a fact that men in general are annoying. But if you don't even truly like this guy, then I'm sure some of the shit he does annoys you...a lot.


6. Huge time commitment

Texting, calling, FaceTiming, dates, dinner, partying, etc. all that takes up so much time. Time with somebody you don't even really like. Is it even fun to chill with them at a certain point?

7. You're better than that

In general, don't settle for someone who you don't like that much. If you aren't in it 100% there is absolutely no point. You deserve a person who makes you happy... not question why you're with them!!


8. In the end, it'll probably make you feel worse

Whether you feel bad about leading him on, or that you feel like you could have done better than him the whole time and now you're like ...well fuck? In the end, you're not gonna feel good about it.


9. Once one door closes, another one opens!!

Don't be nervous to break it off!! You'll find someone else, you can fill your time other ways than just being with him!


10. You're more prone to cheat

If you're always looking for someone better than the one you're with, you will be more prone to cheat on the person. See #2 he will get hurt.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
