Spoil yourself and love yourself as much as you do everything else in your life.

To The Girl Who Never Treats Herself,

You are so dedicated in every way possible. You put everyone and everything before yourself; your school work, your extracurricular activities, your family, your friends. Your heart and soul go into all that is around you but never into yourself. And that's okay! That's all just a reflection of your amazing character, golden heart, and perseverance. But sometimes it can all be too much. Sometimes when you exert all of your time and effort into whatever and whoever you are surrounded by, there just isn't enough left over for you to give to yourself. Sometimes all of that exertion becomes too exhausting. These are the times when you deserve your own effort the most.

I know how difficult it can be. How can you learn how to put yourself first every once in a while when you're so used to putting yourself last? As hard as it is, though, doing even just a little something for yourself every once in a while is one of the best things you can do. Shop a little. Get a manicure. Watch your favorite movie. Eat your favorite food. Stay in bed all day. Do something that makes you happy. You deserve it. You know you do, though I know how hard it probably is for you to admit it.

Today, I challenge you to do a little something for yourself. Spend a little money, breathe a little fresh air, take some time to appreciate yourself, too, to spoil yourself and love yourself as much as you do everything else in your life. You are absolutely incredible, I promise you. And you deserve to give yourself just as much love as you give other people.

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.
