I Am Independent, I Am A Woman, And I Am Proud

Nothing comes between the relationship I have with myself.

I am independent. I am a woman. I am proud.

I am proud to say that I, and only I, am responsible for my happiness

I am proud to say that no one on this Earth can take my independence away from me

I am driven and motivated to be a better person than I was yesterday, for the soul purpose that I want to challenge myself

For me

I do not need a man to complete me

I do not need to become a mother to feel “like a woman”

I am the happiest when I am alone, discovering new things about myself each and every day to grow even bigger and stronger; both physically and mentally

At night I sleep peacefully knowing that nothing can come between me and the incredible relationship that I have with myself

As a woman who is independent and not afraid to let others know, I hope to encourage other women to love themselves first and to glow with their independence

To let them know that they do not need to be tricked into following the standards of society, and they do not need anything to make them complete

Because we are born as whole, complete individuals

I am not afraid to speak my opinion or to tell you how I feel, even if it hurts

I love myself first

Wholly and unconditionally, which means I am not afraid to love too hard or fall too fast because I am not afraid of breaking

How can someone break me if I am whole by myself?

I am in love with setting goals and striving to reach them and I am happy to encourage others along the way

I am not afraid to embrace my flaws and I a comfortable in my own skin and I fearlessly show the world my truest self

I believe in showing the same face to everyone and understand that each person is in on their own journey, to their own destination

Instead of walking down someone else's path, I have created my own

I will learn the lessons that come with cutting down the trees, getting lost and finding my way back again

I am not afraid to stand tall and face my fears, alone

Why give up so much for someone else

When you can have so much for yourself?

I am independent. I am a woman. I am proud.

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.
