Of course, being a girl in a world full of social media and celebrity obsessions I have heard about the importance of "self-love." However, as the older I got the more I learned what this thing self-love was all about. All self-love is LOVING yourself. I know that this can be a lot harder said than done, but fortunately, there is beauty within self-love when practiced and accomplished. Self-love can in the end only improve your self-esteem, relationships with others, and create a healthier lifestyle. Loving who you are created to be is something we all need to strive for. This can be achieved by...

1. Surrounding yourself with a group of people who are there to be encouraging and supportive friends, that old saying "who you surround yourself with is who you become" is 100% true and it's a little scary.

2. Overcoming that perfectionist side in you. Let go of the things you cannot control and focus on what you are doing at the moment, look at all the things you have accomplished!

3. Offers a less stressful life and can possibly result in having less anxiety. Loving yourself can only benefit your mental health! Having a mindful attitude can show you what is important to you.

4. Becoming more optimistic! When you feel comfortable with who you are, you are willing to take more risks and go on adventures.

5. Creating a more healthy and balanced lifestyle. Being confident in who you are opens countless opportunities for each day.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
