Hey Kylie, I'm Real

Because Natural Beauty is the Best kind of Beauty

Hey Kylie, I'm Real

Big penciled in lips, drawn on eyebrows and unrealistic celebrity bodies may be in style today. But, last time I checked elegance never went out of style. There are so many filters out there waiting to airbrush and perfect something that is no need of perfecting. What happened to being natural? What happened to no-make being a good thing? Why is there so much pressure on girls to have it all , without appearing like they try to have it all. Let me tell you something, it is not easy to have your shit together 24/7. It's not easy to be all dolled up all day long every day of the week. A day to lay on the couch, watch the new season of "Game of Thrones," while eating cookie dough is never a bad thing. Now do not get me wrong, it is nice to look at celebrities, or even the random Instagram famous girls, but it is not fair to compare ourselves to them. Their lifestyles are completely different from ours, and you know what that's okay.

I may not have a personal trainer or three hours to spare for a workout everyday, but I still make time in between classes to get my booty to the gym a couple times a week.

I may not have an Instagram famous body, but I can still rock my Tobi dress.

I may get my mascara from CVS but somehow I make it work.

I may not wear that mascara everyday, but I still look damn good without it.

Even though I have three tests tomorrow and a paper to write, I still fit my eight hour work shift in there.

Even though I have to wear an embarrassing hat to work, I still prove my independence and work ethic.

I may not be an Angel on a Saturday night but I still make it to church Sunday morning.

I may not be perfect when it comes to my relationship with God, but that doesn't stop me from trying.

Even though I will never be an engineer, or chemist, or neurosurgeon, I am proud of the A I got in my Advertising 101 class.

Even though I may never be the next William Shakespeare or C.S. Lewis, that doesn't stop me from writing.

I may not be Kylie Jenner.

But I'm real, and I slay.

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.
