Baby, You Should Go And Love Yourself

A poem that turns negative thoughts into positive realities because you are nothing short of amazing.

Baby, You Should Go And Love Yourself
Self

Always remember:

“You are a fierce fighter. You have a strong spirit. And you can do this,”

Are words that describe an atrocious bundle of lies.

Because you need to believe you are nothing. You won’t get past this. You aren't good enough.

That’s the truth. No matter what.

It’s important you take a step back from your life and realize your mistakes define you.

Don’t ever believe that your soul is made of waterlilies, stardust and apple blossoms because he doesn’t want you.

Don’t waste your time if:

There are dwindling leaves that change color and fall right past you, whether you're ready or not.

Don’t worry about the reality that

You’re a caterpillar and you’re beautiful,

Because

She’s a butterfly; she’ll win anyway.

Don’t think that just because

You’ve felt pain in your fingertips and loss in your heart,

You’re special.

Because you’re not.

Do you think you’re simply a needy, stubborn, cauldron of anxiety?

Good, because you know in your heart that couldn’t be more true.

You think you’re trying your best?

Well, you need to try harder.

Do you ever try believing in yourself?

Why would you ever wanna do that?

Overthinking kills happiness, so,

You can never be part of the strong, beautiful, ocean current until you realize this:

This is your destiny.

“You were created to love and to be loved,”

Could not be farther from the truth.

But without a doubt, you know you are a failure.

There will always be someone who is smarter, thinner, faster, better.

In reality,

You are a human pincushion, a heartbroken piece of rusted copper and a useless picture frame with a web of shattered glass.

You will never be able to love yourself. And don't ever be convinced,

Seriously, don't ever let your mind trick you into thinking that:

“You are a magnificent warrior. You’re practically perfect in every way. And your life matters.”

Always remember.

Now read it again from the bottom up.

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.
