15 Reasons to Love Yourself

Self love can be hard, but it's so worth it. Even the little things.

15 Reasons to Love Yourself
Delaney Malloy

We've all been in those moods where we feel like giving up. We can always find the little things we hate about ourselves. I know, it's often hard to look in a mirror and say, "Wow, I really love myself." The truth is that the more you love yourself, the less negativity you have in your world. I want to spread more positivity for everyone, so here are 15 reasons to love yourself.

1. You are one of a kind.

Even if you were cloned, you would still be original.

2. The only person you have to be is you.

Stop trying to adapt yourself to be like a celebrity or movie character, just own being you.

3. The only person you need to impress is yourself.

Other people don't like your style? Forget them. They think your makeup is dumb? Put on some more of that purple lipstick and rock it.

4. You're your best supporter.

Confidence is key.

5. Only you know exactly how to cheer yourself up.

Get yourself some Ben & Jerry's and binge watch Gossip Girl.

6. You're the only one who know every single one of your thoughts.

If other people knew ALL your thoughts it would get a little scary.

7. You can play your favorite movie without having to ask what it is.

So pop in some Harry Potter and pretend you're a wizard.

8. You can also order your favorite food without having to ask where from.

Of course order, because it always tastes better when you don't have to cook it.

9. You can count on yourself for sharing eye rolls with yourself.

At a family party and your distant cousin has yet another new "boyfriend"? You know how you're feeling.

10. You are literally 1 in 7 billion.

Statistics don't lie.

11. You know exactly how hard you worked for your accomplishments.

Worked your butt off for something? Go you!

12. You are the number one person you can count on.

When it all comes down to it, you gotta trust yourself.

13. You've always had your back.

You've stood up for yourself when nobody else did. You know what? You didn't even need them.

14. You know how to work your selfie angles.

You've taken so many pictures of yourself, you know which one is perfect for Instagram.

15. Finally, "There's nothing more badass than being yourself." -Darren Criss

Being yourself takes courage, but it's worth it.

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.
