You Have A Case of Karma

The only thing the love triangle leaves you with....

You Have A Case of Karma

Sooo...my little sister texted me the other night for some "boy" advice. After spending her junior year of high school toying between the senior football cutie and the soccer star, which of course are deemed to be best friends, she'll learn her lesson (well maybe, if not I'll share some advice).

We all know the love triangle dynamic, girl chases the hot guy that will never treat her right, and the sweet guy best friend of her's chases after her. Girl is torn between 2 boys, but hey two is better than one right?! Not quite, but one is better than none! - Which is which the love triangle usually terminates to.... Anyways, she'll take advantage of the nice guy, let him flatter her for the sake of fueling her ego, but deny him time after time because well..he is just not cute enough, or ehhh he's too nice.

She'll balance her time between the two - movie nights with the hot boyfriend, only to text the nice guy after complaining about everything her boyfriend did wrong. ( You know because it makes the nice guy think he'll have a chance because he's different- mean mean!)

Well, I hate to preach but this tale is as old as time. When you stop chasing the wrong boy around just for the thrill, don't turn around my dear. The nice best friend finally learned - "you're just too good for him," and now he's gone. He is with the girl who actually appreciates him now, and well now who are you with? Just yourself and good old karma. Don't you see, while the games and sneakiness of the love triangle may seem funny, there's no winning. No one survives the love triangle.

So there you have it - if you're in a love triangle...get out. If you're debating between two boys...pick neither. If you really liked one of them, the other one would not even be in the picture. 

If there's three people, one will always lose, and in reality everyone loses.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
