A Break Up Letter To The Person Who Criticizes Me The Most

I am done with you, you as in the little voice in my head.

A Break Up Letter To The Person Who Criticizes Me The Most
Kaitlyn Moore

Good freaking bye. Goodbye.

Goodbye to secretly crying in fitting rooms. Goodbye to wearing clothes that are too big for me. Goodbye to looking in the mirror and not seeing what I like. Goodbye to saying, "I don't love myself."

I am done with you. You as in the little voice in my head telling me that I don't look good enough, I should be different, or that I should change who I am.

It is sad that this voice in my head is the ONLY voice controlling my life. I don't care what my friends think I look like. I don't care what social media thinks I look like, I don't care what the most gorgeous man in the whole world thinks I look like.

All that matters is what I think about myself, and that sh*t needs to stop.

The self-hate will stop. The uncomfortableness will stop. The photo editing will stop.

I am literally the only person in the world who can control my emotions and what I think about myself. SO why not make it positive? Who would honestly rather live their lives hating themselves and criticizing themselves, rather than happy and care-free?

You are your biggest critic, understandable. But you are also your only best friend. You should only be living for YOU.

Why are you living for other people?

Here's a tip. If you feel like you are posting just so other people can see and talk, just make them unfollow you.

Easy as that.

Now, who are you posting for?

Your. Self.

You can only love yourself before you love anyone else. Stop trying to convince yourself that you know what self-love is when you're mentally beating yourself up every day.

Strive for bliss.

Bliss is complete happiness without any doubt, it is seeing love in everything you see.

Strive for it.

Love yourself, and you will feel love everywhere.

Xo.

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.
