Baby Girl, Know Your Worth
https://mindandlifematters.wordpress.com/tag/fiction/

I remember looking in the mirror, my eyes bloodshot red and my mascara running down my face. I kept asking myself why I wasn't good enough. I blamed all my imperfections but never once did I blamed him. I pretended to be someone I wasn't to make a horrible person "love" me. Not only is this a story of mine by a story of hundreds of other girls.

Just a few weeks ago I was having a talk with my girlfriends. As I read the texts he would send me, my friends romanticized everything about it. I told them I wasn't interested just for the plan fact that he said the rights words but his actions didn't correlate. They praised me for being "so strong" but, in fact, I'm not strong I'm actually one of the weakest people I know but I know my worth.

It took me a long time to realize that I didn't need to be good enough for anyone except myself. After heartbreak and heartbreak, I started to realize that I didn't love myself even though I truly was amazing.


For the girls who are still blinded when it comes to their worth, this one is for you.

You deserve to be able to love everything about yourself.

You deserve to be independent and single without being criticized.

You deserve to be happy with someone who sees your imperfections as a piece of your beauty.

You deserve someone who would go out of your way to assure you're okay.

You deserve someone who is proud to have you.

You deserve someone who is afraid to lose you.

You deserve someone who wants more than a physical relationship but wants a deep connection with your soul.

You deserve someone who plans on marrying you one day.

You deserve to not questions how they feel about you.

You deserve unforgettable memories.

You deserve true love.

Overall, baby girl you deserve to know your worth because it's much more than you give yourself credit for.

Because you're worth 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.

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.
