10 Struggles Of Being A "Big Girl"
Daily Mail

All my life I have been the bigger girl. Being a bigger girl you hear things such as "you are pretty for a bigger girl" or "that would look better on someone smaller". From every day struggles, to bigger things like finding the perfect prom/formal dress, all us "big" girls know these so well. Here are 10 things the "bigger" girl is tired of hearing.

1. You are pretty for a bigger girl.

No I am just pretty. There is no add-on. There should never be an add-on.

2. That would look better in a bigger size.

No I feel comfortable and confident in this size. I don't have to have baggy clothes to look good.

3. That looks better on someone skinnier.

No it looks good on me that's why I am wearing it.

4. Bigger girls don't look good with long hair.

Um try again. We look fabulous with all hair styles.

5. You could probably lose weight if you tried.

You don't know my life. Don't tell me what I can and can't do. Maybe I struggle with it, but thanks for pointing it out.

6. You shouldn't wear a bikini.

Why? Just why? Do people feel as if they have the privilege to tell us how we can dress and where. If I want to wear one and I feel comfortable then you are the only one with an issue.

7. The "looks".

You know the ones you get trying on clothes or grocery shopping. You don't know me. You don't know my life. You don't know who all the food is for. Maybe I am not going to eat it all alone.

8. People seem to only see your size sometimes.

I am more than my size so get to know me...especially guys. Guys are the worst.

9. Girls are really cruel to each other.

Why do we girls tear each other apart always? We should build each other up.

10. Finally, the biggest struggle of all is ... Not caring about your "thigh gap".

Cool you have one good for you!! Yay! Well, I am closer to mermaid status than you are so.

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.
