11 Reasons Why You Should Love Yourself

If there is one thing I've noticed in my 19 years of life its that people don't love themselves enough.This is a problem. Here is why you should start loving the one person you'll ever be, you.

1. There is only one you


It may be a cliche, but it is a classic one. You are literally the only you on earth. That means that by comparison there is no one else like, at all. Isn't that something?

2. It makes life easier

When you begin to know who you are as a person your perspective on things change. You'll know what you want out of life, where you'll want to be, and who you'll want tot be with you.

3. You will start to feel more comfortable in your skin


Everybody has flaws. But that is what you have to realize. Everybody has them.

When you learn to accept them then nothing can stand in your way of leading a happy life.

4. Everything begins with knowing who you are


The first step to anything in life begins with knowing who you are and what you want.

5. Know who you are and it won't even matter if no one else does


What does it matter if no one understands you. You know what you're about and that is all that matters.

6. You will always have your own back


It is harder to let yourself down than for others to.

7. Confidence glows


You ever walk into a room and notice that one person who just captivates the entire room, yeah thats you.

8. Making friends is way easier


Remember that birds of a feather flock together.

9. You'll start making your own trends


You know that one person who's fashion sense just captivates the enitre room. Yup, thats you.

10. You create your own standard of beauty


Beauty is subjective. So create your own standard of it. Learn that you are the basis of your own beauty

11. You deserve to love yourself!


Love yourself because you are the most perfect you that has ever existed.

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.
