Instead, Be "That Girl"

Whichever girl you choose to be, choose with confidence in that choice.

Instead, Be "That Girl"

Urban dictionary's definition of "that girl" is a "female in a social situation that purposefully draws attention to herself, usually resulting in being that girl that is disliked."

Girls are known for tearing each other down rather than building each other up. It's almost a stereotype that girls are automatically crazy jealous of each other or just not friendly. Living in a society like this, rather than being "that girl" that is trying to draw negative attention to herself, be "that girl" that draws positive attention to herself.

Don't be the girl who is never happy for anyone else. Instead, be that girl that is always happy for others.

When someone is happy with something or someone in their life, who are you to tell them they can't be? Sure, you can disagree with some of their decisions that they are making, but that doesn't mean you should try to take their happiness away from them. If someone is happy, let them. No one wants to be around that girl who is just never happy for anyone. If you're happy for others, they will be happy for you. Being happy for other people will just radiate happiness into your life and who doesn't want that?

Don't be that girl that can't let go of the past. Instead, be that girl that accepts her past and moves on.

Let me start off by saying, that we have all gone through hardships. Some people's hardships are harder than others and it is unfortunate. However, if you live in the past, you will never move on to your future. Like the saying goes, "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one." Which I can agree with 100 percent. Stop dwelling on all the negative experiences in your life and focus on better things that are ahead. It's okay to grief in different ways. Everyone needs to be able to express themselves, but in a healthy manner. Don't unintentionally bring yourself down by constantly trying to relive your dark past.

Don't be that girl that tries to please everyone. Instead, be that girl that pleases herself.

This is something that I struggle with because I often put other's before myself. Sometimes it's hard to put yourself first, but it's necessary. You will never please everyone, so make yourself happy. Be proud of your accomplishments and don't let the people around you stop you from chasing after what you want.

Whichever girl you choose to be, choose with confidence in that choice. You deserve to wake up every day and either be happy or the opposite with the choice you have made, so choose wisely.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
