To The Me Of The Past Who Was Never Confident
Valorie Velasco

People are going to tear you apart as well as those “friends” of yours that are going to stab you in the back when you least expect it. Take it from me kid, all you will ever need is your confidence. Valorie, the biggest flaw you have is that you lack confidence; you doubt yourself too much and never know when to stand up for yourself. You blame yourself for everything that is not your fault and try too hard to fix things that aren't suppose to be fixed. You try following the rules of life but never understood why nothing ever went your way no matter how hard you tried. My advice to you is to do things that make you happy. You do not have color in between the line, because this is the picture of your life and the world just has to deal with. Do not pay attention to what others think about you, because they are jealous of the original coloring you have portrayed to the world, which will eventually be your mark in life.

Continue to be determined. You were always determined but never really quit got there because you never felt confident in your decision making. You worked hard but always doubted yourself. You yourself did not even notice that you were working hard towards all your goals because you doubted your ability to be successful. Your biggest fear is to fail, but you will never fail if you are completely confident in all that you do.

Learn to love your mistakes; it'll be good for you. The worst thing that can ever happen to you is to have regrets. You should never feel the regret of not doing something because you were not confident enough. As long as you never half a** anything, you should never be upset, that is why I ask you to please learn to be proud of yourself. Never listen to what people tell you, because no one knows your end goal, and that is why you have to confident in you OWN decisions.

Trust me when you get to college your eyes will start to open for the first time, and you will become more confident in all that you do.

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.
