Everybody And Every Body Needs (Self) Love

You have the power to create the best day.

With today's type of culture and society, exercise and eating healthy is in a bigger push than ever. We see many people start fitness social media accounts or food blogs and I know I have said more than on one occasion how I wished I looked like *insert name.* It is so much easier to tear yourself down and see all the impurities rather than saying, "wow I really love *insert aspect.*" I am sure everyone has something about them they would like to change and either are working towards that goal or not.

In a world like now, everyone needs to be more positive about their body and give enough self-love.

You are perfect. If you decide you don't like what you see, then change that. It is your decision to change for you and you only. I hate hearing someone is changing because they want to fit in or that is what is trendy or someone told them so, that is complete bullsh*t. No matter what anyone says, hear this, you are perfect and you should see that.

I know, I know, so much easier said than done but having confidence and love in yourself. I found a lot of myself love and body positivity while reading poetry. The way it makes you think and embrace every aspect of yourself captivates me. In one of my favorite poetry books, "I Wrote This For You," one of the last poems says:

That the sun will rise each day and it's up to you each day if you match it. That nothing matters up until this point. That what you decide now, in this moment, will change the future. That rain is beautiful.

And so are you.

Remember each day you have the power to create the perfect day and make the best you possible.

It doesn't matter if you are a size 4 or size 14 in women's or size 27W or 40W in men's, embrace your beauty, your positivity and self-love. Don't forget to occasionally treat yo self, because you deserve it.

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.

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.
