Reasons To Be Happy Before You’re In A Relationship
Mercedes Evans

Why rush into something when you aren’t happy? How can you make someone else happy when you aren’t happy?

These are all the things we tend to hear before or while we start getting serious with someone. Most of us tend to ignore these questions when we shouldn’t. The truth is, the relationship will NEVER work out if YOU aren’t happy first. When I say “happy” I am meaning self-esteem and body image.

This is not easy to do and no one will ever say it is easy. It takes time, effort, and commitment to make this kind of change. If you do not take the time or effort to do this, you might as well sit back and relax because commitment is not coming your way anytime soon. I hate to break it to you, but I have lived through this way too many time. I have been through this so much that I now give people advice over situations like this.

I am not going to lie to you, I am still not happy and won’t be for a while. I have been in the situation many times and still catch myself doing it, but luckily I catch it before it gets too far in advanced. The point in all of this is to watch yourself. If you find yourself putting in 100% for a guy/girl but you can’t do that for yourself, then get out. Tell the person that you need to put yourself first and make yourself happy before you can make them happy. It saves everyone from a lot of heartache and pain if you just be completely honest with them.

Recap:

The reason why you should be happy before a relationship is so that you put in 100% into them and yourself, your relationship will last longer, you will obviously be happier, and you will save yourself and others from the drama/heartache/pain. This is a win win situation that you should take into consideration.

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.
