To The Girl Who Thinks She's Not Good Enough

You look at yourself in the mirror, and stare. Stare so hard your eyes are piercing with pain. Just from looking at the mirror. Trying to see yourself, but you can not. You struggle too. You struggle with the little things. Other's would tell you it's nothing, but to you, they are huge. Struggle with the hard words, the comments. And you fake it like everything is fine, when it is not.

You do not see yourself. When you look at the mirror, you are empty. You feel absolutely nothing, and for some time you are fine with that. Even when you know, you should not be. Nobody says the words, "you're not good enough." But nobody has to say those words, because you think it. You think it is the truth when it is not. But you cannot stop believing it is true, so you continue to do so.

What they don't tell you though, is you are though. You are good enough but you, yourself is the only person that you need to convince that you are. Through the good and the bad, it is important to know that and to believe that.

So you implement change. And do whatever it takes. You set goals for yourself, whether they be the tiniest of goals. Because you are enough, you just need help proving it to yourself.

It's the little things that count. You don't lose hope, instead, you fight through.

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.
