20 Things My Daughter Will Learn

Don’t do things just because other people are doing it. Going with the flow is overrated.

You might be able to change the way you look with makeup and clothes, but your personality will be the same. You are so beautiful on the inside, remember that.

1. Express yourself.

Pick and choose your own style, then wear it proudly. Do it for all of the girls that never will. Originality is beautiful, keep your head up.

2. Hating the girl isn't worth it.

I promise you, it's not her fault. It's his. Don’t you dare give him so much credit.

3. The long messages you type out but don’t ever send will not make a difference in the long run.

Save yourself some time, it's only breaking your own heart.

4. Your dad will always love you even if he doesn’t do so well with showing emotion.

He needs you.

5. Spontaneity is important for any and every season.

Use it to create magic.

6. You deserve more than he offered.

I know you loved him, but if we was the wrong boy for you, just imagine how much you will love the boy that’s right for you.

7. Hot chocolate and Netflix really do cure just about anything.

8. Create a life of your own by making decisions based only on good things.

Make sure to always go with your gut.

9. You are a princess, today and every day.

10. God loves you, and you are His daughter.

He only wants what’s best for you. The change will be hard, but it will work out. I promise.

11. You were born to stand out.

Don’t do things just because other people are doing it. Going with the flow is overrated.

12. You will meet a boy that will love you deeply and treasure you immensely.

He will show you a little bit more of Jesus than you knew before. He will kiss your palms and pull the car around when it’s raining so you don’t have to get your hair wet. Do whatever it takes to show him love.

13. Taylor Swift songs will always make sense.

Not just when you’re in love. Sing at the top of your lungs, you’re more than enough.

14. It will and can always get better.

God is always going to give you the people you need. He’s never failed, and He won’t start now.

15. Don’t rush into relationships because you’re worried someone won’t wait for you.

If they won’t wait to date you, they’re not worth your time.

16. You deserve flowers on your doorstep and notes on the counter.

Don’t ever let someone tell you that you don’t deserve to be pursued. God pursues you every day.

17. You will cry, sometimes more often than not, but that does not mean you are broken.

18. Don’t shut people out.

Let people in. Love is contagious and you deserve so much of it.

19. Learn to love from a distance.

You won't always have the privilege to love people up close.

20. Always tell people how much you love them.

Encouragement is something everyone needs.

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.
