Why It's Okay To Be The Girl Who Focuses On Herself

You don't want to be the girl who everyone wants, you want to be the girl who knows what she wants.

You're not being selfish. You're not being narcissistic either. You simply know what you want, and that is time to focus on yourself. Time to learn, grow and enjoy all of the beautiful things that are before you. You don't need a guy. You don't need comfort and reassurance. You have the world at your fingertips and because you know yourself, you know exactly what you desire from it.

1. You deserve happiness.

Because you deserve laughing until you cry, screaming out with pride, singing in the shower, smiling for no reason at all happiness. You should never feel like you have to settle for anything less than exactly that. And there is nothing wrong with focusing on yourself and taking the time to find exactly what brings you that kind of happiness.

2. The people that you spend your time with matter.

We are all so busy. We all give our time to a number of different things. Whenever someone wants to spend their time with you, you appreciate that. You realize how much it means when someone is willing to put time aside in their day just for you. But on the other hand, you expect that same amount of appreciation whenever you do the same. We all really are so busy and there is nothing wrong with being picky about how you spend your time and more importantly, who you spend it with.

3. Being hard to get never hurt anybody.

But we're not talking about playing games here. This is very similar to point two made above. It simply means that you realize that not only is your time valuable but so is everyone else's. You respect other people's priorities and you aren't afraid to establish your own. Your friends are a priority, your job or your education is a priority and most importantly you are your own first priority. And the bottom lines is If someone really wants to spend time with you, than they should be able to make the effort to express that to you.

4. Our passions are our fuel.

It is said time and time again, but life really is too short. It's too short to settle for anything but chasing after your wildest passions. To harness and awaken those dreams that burn deep inside your core. You have the power to change the world, to impact the lives of people around you and make a difference for the causes that you believe in. Never feel silly for chasing after your dreams and using your passions to turn them into a reality, and don't let anyone convince you that you should be doing otherwise.

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.
