Personal Growth

As a young woman, I’ve explored a lot of different relationships. I’ve had really long-term relationships, love at first site relationships, really passionate ones, and really volatile ones. No two relationships are the same, but they all carry a few common things that nobody seems to mention. Maybe we are too involved to realize it, maybe we are too afraid to admit the truth, or maybe we just don’t talk about our relationships enough. These are the 5 things nobody tells you about relationships.

In this post, I’ll explain all the stages of a breakup and move on without losing yourself along the way. I feel like I’ve experienced …

I am all about positive living and giving everyone a second chance. Sometimes first impressions aren’t the best. I’m sure that I’ve given a bad first impression a time or two. I’d hate to be written off because of one bad day. Being the empath that I am, I do my best to put myself in everyone’s shoes and give them the benefit of the doubt. However, there are some things that I have a really hard time overlooking. There are some women that I just don’t want to be friends with.

There’s a popular news article floating around which shows a disturbing image of a couple in the front seat of a car, passed out from drugs, …

There’s something really empowering about being around other women. I didn’t grow up with a group of female friends. I’ve always had 1-2 girlfriends and the rest were guys. There’s a huge difference between a friendship with a man than a friendship with a woman. With female friends, there’s an unspoken language and a mutual respect. When you’re in a group of secure women, it’s like you’re in a tribe. You don’t have to personally know one another to feel a bond with them. However, it takes a certain kind of woman to give off an energy that makes others feel like they can open up to them and talk to them about anything. Those are the women I want to be friends with. Those are the best types of friends!

I have quite the obsession with scaring the hell out of my boyfriend. I hide in any little crevice I can just so I can jump out and spook him. There have been times when I’ve waited a half hour to scare him. Hey – you’ve gotta keep things interesting right? I’m sure this isn’t the kind of “interesting” that most couples would think of. Maybe you’re thinking that I’m a bit cruel. Well, maybe I am but he has picked up on this little hobby of mine and joined right in. It’s safe to say that it’s kind of our thing now. I personally get pure satisfaction out of scaring him and here’s why.

It’s important in our lives to do as many kind things as possible. Some people don’t believe this, but I think the reason for our existence is to help one another. It doesn’t have to be big acts of heroism. It’s the little things that matter. You’d be amazed at how a simple act of kindness can change a person’s day or even change their life. It’s something that we, as individuals, should be practicing and something that we should be teaching the new generations. This is my 50 acts of kindness bucket list. You can even get this free bucket list checklist printable to check off all of the 50 acts of kindness! It’s something fun to do as a family, individually, or with friends.

You never know how you can change someone’s life just by giving a helping hand, complimenting them, smiling at them, sparing some cash, or standing up for them. We are humans. It’s our job! We should always have each other’s backs. Sometimes it’s important to not mind your own business. Sometimes a simple act of kindness isn’t so simple gives more than a simple feeling. We’re all in this together, after all.
