Oh the amount of times I've had my girlfriends tell me "Just focus on loving yourself!"

A Guide On Falling In Love...With Yourself

Let me start this article off by saying, we are all human. We're not programmed to be perfect. We all have battles with ourselves, some that we win, and some that we lose. That doesn't mean we should stop fighting.

I want you, yes you, to fall deeply in love with yourself.

I want you to think about what happens when you fall in love. You get excited to see him, you want to make plans with him, and you love everything about him, the good and the bad. You feel the infamous butterflies in your stomach, your cheeks hurt from smiling so much, and your world becomes brighter.

Now turn "him" into "you". Feel the same about yourself. Just as you would in a relationship. Get excited to see your beautiful self in the mirror, make plans with yourself, and most of all. Love everything about you, the good and the bad.

I want you, yes you, to fall deeply in love with yourself. You're worth more than those negative feelings you hold inside. You might not think about this, but everyday you're growing, you're closer to achieving your goals and becoming who you want to be. Be proud of her no matter what, because she's amazing. You're amazing.

I want you, yes you, to fall deeply in love with yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror every morning and smile. Look at your physical features and realize no one has your hair, your eyes, your nose, or even your teeth. You're one of a kind, because you literally are.

Now repeat after me, I love myself.

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.
