you are beautiful
own work

The worlds biggest problem now days is self image. we look In the mirror being a girl or boy and see things we all want changed, weather it be loosing a couple of pounds, changing the color of our hair, wanting a prettier profile, or wanting that golden tan that I think every girl strives to get every summer. then after seeing ourselves in the mirror and seeing we don't have any of these things we walk away saddened because the world has filled our heads with what beauty really is and how skinny is defined. but WAKE UP CALL!!!!! Beauty is none of these things... we shouldn't sit around hating ourselves, because we don't wake up every day looking like Victoria secret, or Calvin Klein models. Every time we see ourselves in the mirror, we should tell ourselves we are beautiful, unique, different (YES different is good.) Because weather or not we look like the next Miss America, or have the picture perfect bathing suit model bodies, YOU. ARE. GORGEOUS. The Lord tells us in Proverbs 3:15 that we are more precious than rubies, and nothing can compare to us. Please hear me out when I say this ladies and gentlemen you are line none other.

You have the ability to be whoever you want to be, do whatever you want to do. go where ever you want to go in the world. Don't let the fact that you don't look like the girls/boys on the magazine covers stop you from loving yourself. If it take writing encouraging quotes in random little places you'll see every day, DO IT!!! If it takes going to get your nails done, DO IT!!! If it takes buying that adorable little top that cost $90 in a local boutique then DO IT!!! nobody can define your beauty but you. Do what makes you feel good. Do what makes you, you. because in the end when everything is said and done, nobody is going to remember you by what clothes you wore, what your makeup looked like every day. or by what you ate, but they are going to remember you by your inner beauty. People can be drop dead gorgeous on the outside, but you never see it because of how bitter they are on the outside. True beauty is not only what is on the outside, but what is on the inside also.

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.
