I know what it feels like to have that voice in the back of your head saying

"you aren't pretty enough"

"you aren't funny enough"

you arent smart enough".

Trust me i know what it's like and it's very difficult to not be tempted into believing that. These thoughts are what hold us back from what makes us happy and healthy. Believing you aren't good enough, is what will kill you and all your happiness. I know its just wired into us to see a girl who we think is prettier and thing "wow she is so much better looking than me". Stop that. Please stop that. I know i can't talk because my whole life i did this, and i still do this and it's what causes us to be unhappy.

When i finally felt as if i was gaining confidence, i recently entered into a relationship and that little voice came back to where it would wonder off saying "I'm not good enough for him" or "I'm not pretty enough". These thoughts are so destructive and made me second guess every move i made or anything i said. Although he never makes me feel like that, I just always have that voice in the back of my head.

It's not easy to make that voice go away, i know believe me. Even more now than ever with social media, seeing girls on there wishing they looked like them. Wanting to be the image of "perfection". Just know you are perfect in your on way, God only created one of you and no one else is like you, just remember that.

But aslo know none of these negative thoughts you have about yourself, are true. Someone see's your beauty everyday whether its the guy you just passed in the hallway or your dad or your best friend, someone see's it, even when you don't. These thoughts don't just go away and maybe they never will, but by believing better about yourself a day at a time it will get better and those thoughts will slip away.

I really wanted to write about this because i was that girl, and i needed someone to tell me i was good enough. So i'm here to tell anyone who has ever felt as if they aren't good enough, you are. You are worth so much more than you will ever know. God created you just the way you are so the world could have one of you. Remember that.

Now go show the world you're good enough.

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.
