You Are Entitled To Your Emotions!

No one has the right to tell you how to feel.

You Are Entitled To Your Emotions!
Asiahna

You are completely entitled to your feelings and let no person tell you different. As a human, we have emotions that come out at different times for different people. If you do not feel OK mentally, that is quite all right. No one truly knows what’s going on in your head. And to be completely honest with you, they are not going to. You are a person with many emotions, and that is something not everyone will completely understand.

Some people will have the nerve to denote the way you feel, especially if they are the cause of your pain. Please, by no means, let them get to you. You feel the way you feel because, simply, you just do. And sometimes you can not explain why. But remember, you do not have to explain yourself to anyone.

You are your own person. And as your own person, you choose to deal with what you want. If someone tells you that the way you feel is wrong, then they are not worthy of knowing what is really going on in your pretty, little head. Your thoughts are only for your own use and for those whose intentions with them are pure. Trust yourself.

Need to cry? Do it. Need a nap? Take one. Anything to make whatever problem you are faced with easier do it without any hesitation. Your mind needs to be in tip-top shape to deal with the everyday stressors we have, and having clouded thoughts hides the blue skies in your head. So let the sunshine with in your mind and clear those negative thoughts from your life in different ways to ease your pain.

Don't stress over the ones who choose to tear you down, and deem your thoughts and emotions as not important. You ARE important. And if they feel that way, so be it. They did not deserve a spot in your life anyway. Keep your thoughts as positive as possible, and if that means taking people out of your life who makes positivity a difficult virtue to go about then do so. Your emotions are solely yours. Remember everything affects people differently, so someone could cry over literal spilled milk and another will be completely OK with it. You are the main person who can understand the way you are, so keep that in mind when someone tells you that your emotions are invalid.

Read your sad quotes and consume excessive amounts of ice cream when you’re down, if you feel that helps. Then, exude confidence when you’re feeling better. Deal with your feelings the way you feel is best. The No. 1 player on your team is yourself so do what makes you a better player in this game of life. Stay positive and most importantly stay sane! Positive vibes equal positive life.

"Life is too short to stress over people who don't deserve to be an issue."

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.
