A Letter to the Girl Who Doesn't Feel Enough

It is hard to feel like you are enough in a world full of high expectations.

A Letter to the Girl Who Doesn't Feel Enough

To the girl who does not feel enough,

We live in a world full of judgement and high expectations and you feel like you must live up to all of those. You think that you aren't pretty enough compared to other girls. You feel like your grades aren't enough at school. You don't feel like you are enough for that boy you like. You think that your body isn't good enough. You may even feel that you are not enough for your own family or friends. You constantly compare yourself to other girls and celebrities. There are so many types of "goals" that we all try to live up to. We say couples are relationship goals, Kylie Jenner is makeup goals, and celebrities are life goals. You usually won't be able to reach your "goals," so then you are left thinking that you are not enough.

YOU ARE ENOUGH. Stop trying to live up to all of society's high expectations and trying to be someone that you're not. Stop making your goals based on other people's lives. You are not a Kardashian and never will be. You are amazing the way you are. Your body, grades, personality, and beauty is all enough. Your family and friend group would not be the same without you. If a boy thinks that you are not enough, then they are not enough for you. I promise that you will be more than enough for the right guy. You are enough as yourself because there is only one of you. You were uniquely made. Don't try to live someone else's life and live the life that is meant to be. At times, you may not feel that you are enough for this world, but you are enough for God. God made you to be the amazing person that you are today and not to be someone else. He made you enough in His eyes. You were created to be amazing and you are not lacking in any way. You are absolutely and completely enough.

Love,

A girl who learned that she is enough

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
