The Clothes I Wear Shouldn't Determine My Worth, But, Unfortunately, In This Society, They Do

Clothing is another superficial facet of the human experience.

The way people dress, in my opinion, shouldn't be a huge factor in basing judgment on them. It definitely shouldn't define their worth.

I am all over the place in the closet...I have flannels, dresses, blouses, graphic tees and random junk I think might look somewhat alright.

Sometimes, I'm dressed very prudishly, and I look like a "librarian," as I've been told. While other times, I'm a slovenly mess or hardly covered.

Sometimes, I pair things that probably shouldn't be paired.

Maybe it's because I try to refrain from snobby thoughts, and I'm human so my appearance isn't 100 percent elegant (honestly, wouldn't want it to be - how boring), but I really don't think clothing or style should matter.

Why is it such a huge deal if someone isn't matching? Or if someone has a hole or mark on their shirt?

People have off days, you know. Maybe, their mind is elsewhere, but even if it isn't, if they don't mind, then, why do you?

Really, there are much more important things you could be thinking about and devoting your energy towards.

Regardless of what I'm wearing I expect to be treated respectfully. People are much more than their wardrobe.

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.
