He's Not Worth It... But You Are

There are so many other things in your life to worry about.

He's Not Worth It... But You Are

He’s not worth your tears or your anger. There is so many other things that can frustrate you. There are so many other things in your life to worry about. He should not be one of them. If he makes you angry constantly, he isn’t worth it. You should be with someone who makes you happy. Not someone who makes you mad constantly. If he can’t make you smile, he isn’t worth your tears. You deserve more than that.

One of the most frustrating things is loving someone and them not loving you back. Yes, it sucks. But you can’t change how other people feel about you. You shouldn’t be head over heels for someone who isn’t head over heels for you. And being played sucks, but you can’t rely on a boy to make you happy. Let me rephrase that... You can’t rely on ANYONE to make you happy. You’re happiness needs to come from yourself. Relying on other people to make you happy is only going to end up with you getting hurt.

Sitting around and moping isn’t going to help you feel better. Get out and live your life. You are worth so much more than crying over some boy. You don’t need a boy to define you and tell you that you’re special. You need to know that you’re special without being reminded of it constantly.

Of course, everyone likes being told how much they mean to someone, but you need to mean something to yourself before you can mean the world to someone else. Crying over someone who wouldn’t cry over you just isn’t healthy. Don’t waste the time and energy. It isn’t worth it. Love yourself for you.

It’s okay to be alone sometimes. That’s when you discover things about yourself that you never knew. Don’t re read the conversations that remind you of a time that things in your life were “perfect.” Things will be perfect again before you know it. Find a hobby, find a passion, find yourself.

Care about yourself. Love yourself, before you try to love someone else. And when you fall completely and totally in love with yourself, then learn to love someone else. Let them add to your preexisting happiness. Don’t let them be the only reason for it. Do NOT ever let someone else’s definition of love defy yours. No one’s opinion of yourself is more important than your own. Remember that.

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.
