​5 Reasons Why You Should Love Yourself

Sometimes the easiest thing to do when we are sad about something is to put ourselves down even more. We all have those insecurities, those things that we feel could be so much better, and we all take a stab at them sometimes. It’s almost as if you poke at it just to make sure it’s still there. Spoiler alert: it is. I know it’s easier to find the bad in ourselves but why not focus more on the things that we love about ourselves?

1. Your Impeccable Sense Of Style

There’s nothing like being able to show off the outfit that you carefully put together. You even took the time to make sure the nail polish matched.

2. The Advice You Give That's Always Being Praised By Your Friends

Nothing feels better than knowing that what you say to your friends actually makes a difference in their lives.

3. Your Awesome Sense Humor

Sure, you may laugh for an unnecessary amount of time after a joke has been told, but that’s what makes it so great. If you don’t have laughter, then you honestly just have nothing.

4. The Way You Love Your Hobby So Much

Whether its painting, singing, dancing, reading, writing or whatever you choose to do, knowing that you willingly put so much time into mastering a skill is something that should always make you feel an immense sense of pride.

5. Your Close Attention To Detail

For my people out there who notice when a store changes their layout or that a friend chose to wear their part in their hair differently that day, cheers to you. I always think something like that can come in handy so often in life and I love knowing that I can use that to my advantage whenever I see fit.

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.
