You Are Beautiful

You may not see it, but you radiate beauty.

“Beauty is not flawless; it shines even through your flaws…” — Unknown

 

You may not know it, but you are so beautiful. Inside and out, you radiate a true beauty that cannot be matched, or even compared to anyone else. The way you smile, the way you treat those around you, everything you do is done with such grace and beauty. The people around you see it, yet you never seem to.

 

You always worry about your flaws, or what others will think of you. You look in the mirror, and are displeased at what you see; you cover your face in makeup, afraid your natural self won’t be perfect enough. But you don’t need to. You are perfect. I see it, and I know everyone else does as well. You are so beautiful. I see your beauty, and I want you to see it as well.

 

Every time I see how you treat others or help someone when they are down, your beauty radiates like the brightest diamond. I see it. I see your beauty every time you smile, every time you do something totally, completely YOU. You are amazing.

 

You are one of the most beautiful people I know. I want you to see it as well. I appreciate every single unique thing about you. All of these little things add up to the amazing you — the person I love. The person I admire. The person who always makes me happy. I love you, I love all your flaws. I hope someday you will love those flaws too.

 

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” — Kahlil Gibran

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
