You Are Worth It

In a time of hurt, words of encouragement are what some people need to hear the most.

You Are Worth It
Shyanne White

You are worth it.

It may be hard to see.

With everything that has hurt you, I understand how you feel, trust me.

It feels like everything is crashing down, and nothing will ever be okay again.

I have been there before, and I am right there with you now.

But if you give up, what then?

You'll be giving up on everything you've worked for. Is that something you're going to allow?

You shouldn't, even though it feels like you should.

You feel defeated, lost, confused, hopeless. Nothing seems worth the pain.

But you're not alone.

I know it's hard. I do. It's so incredibly hard to stay sane.

It's hard to not hurt people you care about because you have allowed this dark hole to swallow you. It's hard to not let this sadness control who you are.

Life is constantly changing, and maybe it's not in the way you want it to.

But eventually it will change in the way you want, and probably when you least expect it. You just have to keep going so you can make it that far.

Make it to the day where things will all fall into place. Where you'll finally know what it feels like to be happy. To feel loved. To feel safe.

Because that's what you deserve. What anyone deserves.

So hang in there. It's hard now, but soon, there will be a light. You'll be glad you stuck around to see it. I know I am.

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.
