The Invistible person known as society.
Jared Ribic Photagphy

We as girls have herd the phrase "beauty is pain" multiple times in our lives. We say this due to the pain it takes for our eyebrow game to be strong, or our nails to be on-fleek. We use it for the hours of sleep lost to make sure that our hair is teased and curled, to make sure our face is a spitting image of Barbie. What if I told you there was a dark secret to this so popular saying?

Every 62 minutes a person dies to a eating disorder. That 1 in 6 kids are bullied. On average, 9 million Americans will have some kind of plastic surgery.

My goal is for us to see the flipped side. What if, deep down, the real pain was to be considered beautiful in the eyes of society. Every one of us has a beauty routine, rather we know it or not. If it's getting up 3hours prior to your event and do your hair and make up, or simply getting up and brush your hair, it's a routine of readiness. What makes each of our routines different are the influences in our lives. The influence of magazines, our celebrates we follow on Instagram, ect. All these people spend so much of their personal time and money to look like that model, or that celebrity Kim Kardashian. For some weird reason society is an invisible individual that has set a standard that we all follow blindly deciding what's beautiful and what's not.


Even though on the outside these fake eye lashes and "stuff" makes us happy it is only satisfying for our physical need. Ponder upon this, is our inner self, our soul in need of happiness too? Our appearance wont make us happy if we are in constant purist of the latest trend, the next coolest make up brush. This constant race of trying to keep up with this term "beauty" in society, it will wear you out. I do not put trends under a but, but it's a different story when girls are starving them selves to look skinny enough. When they cut their selves because they can't bare to see them selves in the mirror. When you can't go out your front door without makeup on your face.

To truly love our selves, we need to know what love even looks like. How do we know what perfect love looks like? Do we go to our parents? Do we look at it in our accomplishments? Do we look for it in our relationships? There is one way to find this kind of love.. and it's JESUS. Jesus created you in His image. He loves you and made you with His hands! The same hands that formed the stars, grand cannon, and yet He loves you so much more than anything else! In the Bible it says that His thoughts towards you are good and that they are numbered more than the grains of sand!!! Jesus is in constant purist of you! He has a plan and future for you! You don't have to cut your self, or starve your self to feel beautiful. Jesus make the ultimate pain, for you. He died on a cross for you. You don't have to have all the trendy cloths. Jesus was actually pretty poor. He was in a big wash rag basically. Yet people ran to Him because of who He was. I highly recommend reading Psmals 139, ALL of it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
