Chivalry

It isn't dead, it's just evolved.

I know alot of women who love it when men treat them with respect and like a lady. Little acts that makes them feel like they are important and remind them that not all men are imbeciles. Holding a door open is an overused example of chivalry, so is paying for the bill. Trust me guys these things are nice to do but, today guys cant even do that without it somehow offending a woman.

Nowadays women (some) like to open the door and pay their own way. I know unbelievable. But chivalry isn't dead people, he's just on life support at the local hospital. In our corrupt, demeaning, and incredibly confusing society, we want things one way but arent ready to accept that we cant always get our way. Many people say its dead because one guy didnt open the door or pull out their chair but its really alive and well. 500 or some years ago we had knights who showed strength, courage, loyalty, respectful, generous, and gave aid to the poor and defenseless. Now are Knights in shining armour, our soliders in war and regular everyday guys who put the little people before themselves.

Chivalry isnt dead ladies, its just evolved. Most don't get that and seem to think guys are suppose to do our bidding or get angry if a guy doesnt show them the attention they want. It's a two way street now ladies. We live in a world where chivalry can go both ways.

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.
