A Reminder To Always Be Open With Each Other

From past and present experience, I know that talking to your significant other about what's on your mind can feel impossible. You don't want to be pegged as annoying. You don't want to be considered clingy. You don't want any negative energy between the two of you. While that's completely understandable, it's important to communicate about everything. If all is well after you two have talked, chances are your relationship will be stronger.

Bonds can be made physically and emotionally. Of course, physical attraction is what strikes your attention, but emotional attraction seals the deal. In order to form a strong bond, you have to be open and honest in your relationship. You have to be clear on what it is you want from each other. Is it just casual? Is it more serious? If an agreement can't be reached, it's not the right fit. If you have worries, no matter when they strike, bring them up in conversation. Talking to your significant other about them will ease your mind, especially if they confirm a positive outcome.

Always remember to be true to yourself. Don't allow your values or opinions to change because of someone else. Keep an open mind and an open heart, but be cautious. Don't allow your world to come crashing down in the instant that something takes a turn for the worst. Both you and your significant other have feelings. Talk about the positives and negatives in your lives. Delve deep into each others' characteristics. It's normal to feel vulnerable. It's what completes you as a human being.

Being in a relationship can be difficult at times. There will come a time when the two of you will need to overcome an obstacle. Communicating about the issue could help solve the problem. You never know until you talk about it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
