You’re Probably Not Really a Nice Guy (x)

&lt;p&gt;You’re Probably Not Really a Nice Guy (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rZu-tBi7DM"&gt;x&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What does it say about our culture that this needs to be repeated so often?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Amen to that. I get so TIRED of the guys who complain about being nice and getting nowhere. You shouldn’t be nice to someone to expect something from them. I’m not nice to my mom because I expect her to do something for me. I’m nice to her because I love her. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/46624012904</link><guid>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/46624012904</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Mar 2013 17:36:13 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>This is the happiest Christmas I can think of!</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md749qORjz1r2kh83o1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the happiest Christmas I can think of!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/35370916320</link><guid>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/35370916320</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Nov 2012 19:30:58 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>I love Owl City.

I love this song. It’s uplifting and great :) It reminds me not to let things drag me down or weigh on my heart! Give it to God.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have the hardest time letting go of injustices and also with trusting things to God to take care of. I feel like I can just “fix it” given enough time “I can make this problem all better!” things of the like. I honestly have to be reminded at times like this (and probably will many times after) that I can’t fix the world’s problems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Giving it to God is wonderful. I feel free right now. It’s wonderful :) Not a few minutes ago I was pissed off, upset, teary, unhappy etc. God really works wonders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I CAN’T make people do what I wish they would, I CAN’T fix their problems, I CAN’T readjust their attitudes, I CAN’T. This is the only time I think I can’t is ever acceptable. =)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can control MY actions and just pray :) and even if I struggle with giving things to God, praying doesn’t EVER hurt. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/31557595556</link><guid>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/31557595556</guid><pubDate>Fri, 14 Sep 2012 21:32:17 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>emmbop:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“He led me around the house, stopping at each place where we had a ‘first’ or something significant in our relationship; where we ate our first lunch together, where he watched me play piano for the first time, where he told me how he felt, where we sat and watched fireworks and carnival lights, where we stood during our first fight, where he kissed me for the first time… He then stopped at the door to his room, looked down at me and opened it slowly. Inside, soft music was playing, the room lit only by candles - at least 15 of them. When I turned back to him, he held out this slip of paper.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How adorable! ^-^&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/29731511432</link><guid>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/29731511432</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 Aug 2012 22:48:39 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Ever felt like you don’t fit in to this world? Or that...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2r2shI6JC1r504v4o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever felt like you don’t fit in to this world? Or that It’s so hard to fathom? This picture to me at least, captures that. The wonder of it all! The mind blowing part that kind of makes me feel better about it, is that I’ve not really ever felt like I belong… but the truth of it is… I actually &lt;strong&gt;don’t&lt;/strong&gt; belong here. I truly don’t. A fact I forget quite often, more often than I should… I’ve felt like an outsider, because I am! But contrary to how people normally feel when they feel like an outsider (a feeling I know well) it’s something to be proud of. Perhaps that feeling is God reminding you or telling you that we are not long for this Temporary Life :) Whatever it is. It gives me solace.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/28816619494</link><guid>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/28816619494</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2012 00:41:13 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>So hard to do.

I decided to steal this idea from someone who made a list of things that made them happy and instead list things that I’m grateful for. Because people in first world countries such as America, where I happen to live, don’t realize what they’ve got, myself included. So I figured I’d take a moment and be grateful for the things I’ve got, on a large and small scale :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/21649984830</link><guid>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/21649984830</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:58:19 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Wish me Luck</title><description>I have a couple of ideas for my church actually and am about to do a test run today, to see how it...</description><link>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/21571765538</link><guid>http://malinaras.tumblr.com/post/21571765538</guid><pubDate>Sun, 22 Apr 2012 10:50:15 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Mat Kearney- Ships In The Night  This song always makes me...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BCkfTCjF8SM?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mat Kearney- Ships In The Night  This song always makes me emotional and I love it.
