An Open Letter To The Girl Who Has Never Had A Boyfriend

To the girls who have never had a boyfriend, whose longest relationship was a whopping two months, or whose only boyfriend was that boy in the fifth grade and you guys hugged between classes and went on group dates to the movies…

Ladies, this letter is for you.

So you have pretty much been single forever and there will probably be times that you doubt your worth. You might think you aren’t pretty enough, funny enough, or popular enough. Or maybe you find yourself comparing yourself to other girls, the ones with boyfriends. Maybe you are wondering what you are doing wrong, and why you can’t find a guy.

Well I’m here to tell you to stop. Seriously. Stop comparing and stop trying to determine what is wrong with you. Because you are enough. You. Are. Enough. Your worth is not determined by your relationship status.

Being single is okay. Actually, it's more than okay. It’s awesome. Being single gives you independence; it gives you time to find yourself--to count on yourself and to love yourself as well.

You can’t get caught up on being single. Because if you were meant to be with someone, you would be with them right now.

The guy that stopped talking to you for no good reason? Good riddance.

The guy who didn’t want anything with you, but pursued something with someone else? Pick your head up, because you weren’t right for each other.

The boy that was basically in love with you, but you just didn’t feel the same? Good for you for knowing what you want and not leading him on.

Just because someone shows interest, doesn’t mean it’s right.

Always know the difference between the idea of someone and the actual person.

The right guy that you are waiting for? He will come.

But stop waiting, and start living.

In the middle of you living your life, he’ll find himself into it.

Maybe he’ll come tomorrow, maybe it’ll be in a few months or maybe it won’t be until many years down the road.

But it will happen when it’s right, trust me on that.

You are a young, beautiful single girl who is having the time of her life and can’t be stopped by anyone or anything. You are full of ambition, life and so much freaking love. You are doing your thing, you are making some mistakes, and you are having a lot of fun.

You are wild, you are carefree, and you are your own kind of perfect.

Remember that.

Love,

A fellow (happy) single gal.

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.
