It's not true

Forget "If It's Meant To Be It Will Be"

Growing up at least once you heard that if someone wanted to be with you they would be and they would find their way back to you. “If it was really meant to be.” A lot of people believe in that. But I’m here to tell you that it takes both people in a relationship to make it work. You can act like you are the world and you should be treated the best by that person but if you’re not treating them the same then why would they come running back to you?

Everyone in this world deserves happiness and a lot of us find that in another person. But as our teachers, parents, peers have said “treat others how you want to be treated.” We were taught that at such a young age and you would think adults would take that with them through the years but they don’t. The biggest thing I see in relationships in today’s world is one person giving more than the other. I hardly ever see that working for people. There may be “a toilet seat for every ass” but your not going to find the right one if your not putting your time and effort into it.

I think the lesson here is the saying “if it was really meant to be it will be” is a bunch of bullshit. If you want something that badly you don’t just sit there and wait for it. You work for it, you go running for it at full speed with a good mindset. If people today put as much work into relationships as they do taking selfies, picking a filter, coming up with excuses as to why you should not to go to the gym, reasons why you deserve that fast food, relationships would be so much better. You’re not going to get a master’s degree by sitting in your dorm watching Netflix all day, and you’re not going to find the one your going to be with the rest of your life by waiting for someone to fall in love with you.

This generation is so lazy when it comes to relationships. And I don’t mean liking their selfies on Instagram, snap chatting them, keeping a snap streak, commenting on all their Facebook posts when I say you need to put effort in. They’re going to remember you more for something that you said/ did in person over something you did on social media. Social media isn’t everything, I promise. You can be the prettiest person in the world or the most handsome but you’re not going to be worth someone’s time if you can’t put effort in.

Boys, you can act like your such a player and you’ve been with all these girls but that gets old eventually. Stop playing girls because if you don’t everyone’s going to be sick of your shit and your going to be very lonely. And girls, you can act like you’re the queen and no one is worth your time but that gets old too. You can try to search for the perfect one but no one is perfect and you’ll find that out when you fall in love with his flaws. Moral of this is, you have to fight for what you want, you have to dedicate yourself to it.

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.
