Dear Daughter, About Clothes

Modesty doesn't make you a prude.

Dear Daughter, About Clothes

No matter what you wear, guys will notice your body. So I will never tell you that's a good reason to dress modestly. But I hope you do dress modestly because you know you're just as beautiful in a baggy shirt as you are when you get dressed up for prom.

I know there will come a time when you'll want to dress sexy. I hope you save that time for when you're with your female friends because there's safety in numbers and I don't trust others. You'll probably want to do things just because you're old enough to. All I ask is that you protect yourself by not doing it alone.

I will never yell at you for a little cleavage. Sometimes you just want to feel sexy for your sake. All I ask is that when you do it, you do it for you. Guys come and go but your body image will never leave and I want you to know how beautiful you are. The kind of beauty I see when you just rolled out of bed with messy hair and half open eyes.

Dearest daughter, don't listen to the world. You are not living in a man's world when it comes to knowing your worth. If you let that be the case, then I will know I've failed you.

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.
