Life's hard. Sometimes you can feel so alone, even in a room full of people (cliche, I know, but so very true). It's easy to get hung up on the small things-- and the big things--and feel like nobody cares. But, here's a little secret you should never forget: You are never alone, and you are so loved. Even on your darkest days, when you feel like everything is falling apart and you don't have a single friend in the whole world, you are still perfect and brilliant and amazing and absof*ckinglutely LOVED. You were made with love, you live with love, and star dust resides deep within your bones. You are love.

If you ever happen to forget how lovely you are, here are a few reminders:

1. You are smart.

2. You are kind.

3. You are beautiful.

4. You appreciate fuzzy socks, hot coffee, and good conversation.

5. Late at night, before you fall asleep, you think about what you really want to do with your life.

6. You realize that the world doesn't owe you a damn thing.

7. You're 50 percent perfect, 50 percent bitch and 100 percent queen.

8. The world is a better place because you're in it.

9. You don't ever apologize for being YOU (except for your ridiculous laugh. Sometimes that deserves a formal apology).

10. Red lipstick doesn't scare you.

11. You can watch three straight hours of Netflix (at least) without needing a break.

12. You always try your best, no matter what (unless it's 2:00 a.m. and you realize sleep is more important than your GPA).

13. You appreciate One Direction, A$AP Rocky, Shania Twain, and Phil Collins. All at the same time.

14. You've had your heart broken. And you've broken hearts.

15. You would do absolutely anything for your family.

16. You don't give a flying f*ck about what anyone else thinks of you. You don't need anyone's approval but your own.

17. When you feel like everything's falling apart, you fix you makeup, hold your head up high, and take a deep breath.

18. You never say no to pizza.

19. You're an old soul with a good heart and an open mind.

20. You realize that hugs, kisses, words, and laughter are infinitely more valuable than money and status (but that doesn't stop you from buying that Michael Kors).

21. You pray every night for good things to come your way. And you have faith that the universe has a plan for you. You know you're on your own perfect path.

22. And this list could go on and on... because there are a million reasons why you should love yourself.

23. And there isn't a single damn thing you could ever do that would make you unlovable. That would be impossible.
