One Guy's Opinion Shouldn't Change How You Feel About Yourself

One Guy's Opinion Shouldn't Change How You Feel About Yourself
Konstatin Yuganov

Let me start by saying, wow I have been exactly where you are.

Every girl has been exactly where you are. Seeing guy after guy not answer your text. Open your Snapchat, post a story, but not answer you back. Tell you that you’re a catch until one day you aren’t anymore. Then you play every conversation, every play by play, every hangout over and over in your head until you come to the conclusion.

“I am not good enough for him. I did something wrong.”

Well, I’m here to tell you. You are more than enough for him. You are amazing.

I have seen so many of my friends. Women who are courageous, smart, beautiful and extraordinary people that are taken down by one average guy with a below average opinion. These same friends that are crying because this guy made her feel small and forget how worthy she is and it breaks my heart.

While you once thought you were a fearless chick taking the world by storm, now you’re just a girl that needs to change her uniqueness to fit what that particular guy wants from her. She has to pretend that she doesn’t care as much as she does. She has to pretend she is okay with how things are going. She has to pretend that she genuinely thinks it’s her fault when he’s the one not treating her how she should be.

Do not let that one (or many in my case) guy’s opinion take your love away from yourself. Do not let that guy take away your energy. Love yourself and remember that if he never ends up texting you when he said he would or “ghosts” you, he lost out on an amazing girl. Be beautiful and never let a guy make you feel low about yourself because no one has the power to do that to you.

So, next time you get left on read followed by a “u up?” text or the guy from the party gets your number and doesn’t use it, don’t sweat it. Be fearless. Be empowered. Take that drink. Go to that party. Or if you’re like Wiz Khalifa, “work hard, play hard.”

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.
