5 Reasons To Love Yourself

I continuously see girls put themselves down, and point out every flaw. Look in the mirror and understand that your 'flaws' don't define you.

5 Reasons To Love Yourself
Hey Sigmund

1. You are beautiful.

Whether you think you are worth nothing and feel your flaws outweigh your good, you are beautiful. Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. Beauty is not defined by the way you look, but by who you are and what you stand for.

2. Loving yourself attracts love

Loving yourself is a huge factor in life. Learn to love yourself because if you do others will look at you as a confident woman, someone who knows how special they are. Men tend to like a woman who loves herself and stands her ground.

3. Self-love leads you to a 24/7 best friend.

Loving yourself can lead you to your very best friend: yourself. No matter how many friends leave your life, you always have you. You are in control of your body and mind. We take care of ourselves, and we reward ourselves when we feel we did a good job. We do not need someone to tell us we did good, because in our head we already know.

4. Suzy Kassem stated, "An original is worth more than a copy".

Love yourself enough to be different. Do not get caught up in what other people are doing. Reading magazines and keeping up with social media, I tend to find myself wondering what it would be like if others didn't follow each other, but instead decided to be their own leader. Be yourself and love yourself because being a copy is boring.

5. There is only 1 you out of 7 billion people in the world.

Take advantage of the fact that not one person in the world is 100% like you. Your smile, laugh and personality are unique. The thought of being different than every other person in the world is an incredible feeling. You are different so enjoy that thought.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
