Let's Have A Real Conversation

I want us to be foolishly open instead of selfishly guarded.

Let’s truly get lost in our conversations.

I’m the type of person that loves to talk about things people are for some reason or another terrified to talk about. Just to name a few, these could be mental health, pain, insecurities, religion, and politics. I look forward to those conversations that are worth the time and deeper than merely talking about your day, work, or the most popular topic: the weather. Real life events are what keep everything interesting in a conversation. Lately, we just don’t have enough of those meaningful conversations. It could be that you aren’t much of a person that enjoys sharing, or maybe the right friends don’t surround you. I honestly think if you aren’t having those meaningful conversations those late night heart to hearts than you really are missing out on something special.

Let’s talk about your life, how you became the person you are today, how one struggle got you to where you are, and how this one special thing about you sets you apart from the rest. I want to know more than just the simplistic fact so come on tell me why you love wearing black, tell me why you don’t want to move back home, tell me about how he/she changed your life, and tell me about that one time when you completely surprised yourself. I want to hear it all from your first broken heart to where you stand now, and what scares you to what makes you the happiest. I want to get to know you. So, tell me everything.

Don’t worry though I won’t let you do all the talking alone. I’ll tell you why I’m always so blunt, why I like to read those cliché self-help books, why he is the one always on my mind, or why it took me so long to actually search for myself. I’ll tell you about it all.

Because I want more meaningful relationships and friendships that will carry on throughout the years. I want to be able to get to know who you really are. I don’t want you to be just another face that passes on through my life. I want to be able to have those conversations that you don’t just have with everyone else. I don’t want any what ifs or maybes between us. I want us to say it all, to talk so openly, to let it all out so we can be free and leave no room for questions or later regrets.

I don’t want to know you through your social media. I want to know you through your eyes, through your voice, and through your heart. I want us to be foolishly open instead of selfishly guarded.

Let’s talk about sadness and happiness. Let’s laugh and cry. Let’s be so wise but also so silly. Let’s just talk. Let’s communicate. Let’s be ourselves.

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.
