Appreciate Your Little Things

Celebrate your little things, no matter how small.

On days where I'm feeling down, feeling myself, feeling happy, feeling angry, or maybe even in my feelings, there are so many small things that just make my day. It's always said to appreciate the small stuff, and lately I've truly been noticing how important this is, to notice and appreciate the little things around you and about you. Everything, I've truly noticed in my life recently that warrants celebration, appreciation, love, and so much more.

When I make my toast for breakfast and it ends up perfectly toasted.

What a nerd I am about The Golden Girls - but come on, who doesn't love Betty White?

How I laugh at my own jokes, even when they're maybe not that funny.

My very cheesy dance moves, especially in the car - my mom loves these too, right mom?

Listening to the same song 67 times in a row if you want to.

OR watching the same movie multiple times in a row as well - because if I want to watch Moana for the 8th time today, I'm doin' it.

The mini dance party you have when you're really vibing to a song.

Looking at yourself in the mirror and calling yourself a hobo if you really want to - don't we all feel like hobo's somedays?

(Yes, even this.) Feeling personally attacked by the "screen time" feature on the iPhone update - sure Apple maybe I was on my phone for 11 hours total today, but let's keep it on the low, mmk?

When your motivation app pops up and reminds you that you're a queen and to not let your crown fall.

Going through your selfies to just hype yourself up and remind yourself how cute you think you are.

Talking to those who make you happy and positively influence your life.

Watching your 14th video in a row when having gone down the YouTube rabbit hole and not regretting a single moment - yeah I'm watching a cat circus....your point is?

Listening to that sad song you like that makes you sad even when you're in a good mood.

When your makeup turns out just right, even when you didn't do anything different than you do every other day that you put it on.

Putting on that favorite shirt for the 3rd day this week, because you just love how you look in it.

The moment where your cat is nice for a few minutes in the midst of being a jerk 98% of the time.

Taking off your shoes after a long day of school, work, or whatever you've got going on.

Giving someone a compliment because they just look like they need to be told what a cute human they are or that their shoes are the best things you've ever seen.

Stopping an extra time in front of the mirror because you're really loving how you look today.

I could honestly go on for days about the little things for me personally that are always little victories and things I love or whatever they may be, even if they're annoyances. All of these little things make life how it is and without them, it wouldn't be on the journey to whatever you're trying to find, achieve, etc. Celebrate your little things, no matter how little, and realize just how important they all are to making you who you are.

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.
