Dear Real You,

How are you doing today? I've heard many things about you lately, and it doesn't surprise me at all that you are trying your best to be something you aren't. You aren't some Kardashian, or Miss Universe, that isn't who you are suppose to be. You are suppose to be yourself, and that is honestly the biggest issue we have today in our society that girls think it's alright to try to change ourselves because of what A-list celebrities or Magazine tabloids have to say about what real beauty is, and why you need to look like them in order to be beautiful. You are beautiful in your own way, you shouldn't change that about yourself because of what some dumb celebrity or magazine tabloid has said what real beauty is.

Real beauty isn't getting butt implants, a boob job, or any type of plastic surgery. Real beauty is just having the chance to actually love our body, whether were big, small, fat, skinny, curvy, etc., Don't worry about it, because you are beautiful the way you are. It's cool to try out new makeup trends, but honey, if it doesn't suit you, don't keep doing it, just do your own makeup the way you like it. I'm sure it's perfect the way you like it. You shouldn't have to change your image to make yourself beautiful. It is a confidence boost, yes, but you have don't have to do to make everyone else like you more. I'm sure they liked you before you did all that to yourself. If they didn't like you before and like you now that your image has changed, there is no guarantee that you will have them around for long. Why you ask? Because you've changed.

No one likes change, but we end up putting the people we care about most through the transition of changing for our own liking. Once you've changed, though, people start to dislike you, and once they do that, they disown and go to find someone better than you, and will end up wanting them to just be themselves, not realizing before that the people they cared about the most were changed because of them. They changed so that they can be liked by them more, but, in the end, you don't always get what you want. You end being the bad guy because all you can think to yourself is why did you let them change who you are? I liked you before you were changed, now look at you, all changed and stuff. You aren't yourself anymore.

When it all comes down to it, leave the people who want you to be a totally different person aside, and bring the ones who love you for you into the picture and be friends with them. With those type of friends you will have maximum confidence to live life happily, and to never have negativity in your life. Remember, be you, because everyone else is taken, except for you, gorgeous.

Be the real you that I know you can be!

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.
