Learn to love yourself!

Advice From One Confident Girl to Another

Honey, don't sweat it. Go to the gym and lift something heavy, post a dope selfie, and be a sass with class.

You have every right in the world to be confident. You deserve to love yourself. So show yourself some love: do naked yoga then take a lavender-scented bubble bath. Dance like no one is watching. Learn to laugh at yourself instead of being embarrassed. And most of all, learn that you don't owe anyone anything, and you definitely don't have anything to prove.

He's with someone else: Good for him. Remember that things begin and end for a reason, and someone can never make you jealous over something you have already had. You do your thing, boo. You're better off doing you anyway!

If someone is mean to you or talks ugly about you behind your back, learn to let it slide and simply mark another friend off the list that keeps getting shorter and shorter. You don't need those people in your life.

Never feel inadequate, for you have a soul that can move mountains and a fire in your eyes. Someone else's beauty does not take away from yours.

Do not allow bitterness to creep into your heart. It's a nasty disease that can easily ruin you. Find it in you to be happy for people, even if they could never return the favor.

Learn when to fight and when to let go. Unplug from social media and actually be alone with yourself. Do you like the person you have become? If even you don't enjoy your own company, then don't expect anyone else to.

Most importantly, take time out of your day for YOU. Whether that be through the gym, getting your nails done, or reading a book, do something that makes you feel good. Try meditating. If meditation is not your thing, sit in silence for at least five minutes. Listen to the sounds around you and develop a sense of awareness. Through that, you can learn to love yourself a little more.

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.
