When Will I Be Enough?

UGH

I can't help but think that I will never ever be able to find the one for me. I'm utterly convinced that I will never find a significant other and will die alone. And, I'm not okay with it as much as I was before. I just think that seeing everyone around me be so happy and content with life and here's me hating life and everything about it.

I just wish I could just look at myself in the mirror and accept myself for who I am and not sit there and resent myself. Like I always have been this way and I thought that maybe college would change me and I would start to love myself for me but instead it just got worse.

I thought that maybe joining a sorority would make me feel better because I would be surrounded by girls who love me a lot and I love them but instead being in a sorority has made it worse. My anxiety and depression seem to have gotten worse because of how much I've started to hate myself, my looks, my body, my personality? I just wish I had the balls to talk to a boy, I can never talk to a boy so how am I supposed to start a relationship with a boy? I just wish that I had the ability to be an attractive human being and be able to tempt a boy enough to make him come up to me and start talking to me. Or if I go up to them, they actually accept me for me and not back away, running and screaming.

The lack of confidence that I have stops me from loving myself and on top of that, I'm a coconut. The color of my skin is brown except on the inside, I'm white. I act like the people I surround myself in. I mean heck, I'm in a sorority. How does that happen? I never thought that I would ever be able to fit in a place like that. I mean in the end all you wanna do is to be able to get along with them, but I tend to get sorta jealous of them. All I want is to be like them, especially since all the boys come up to them and not me.

My friend told me that I need to make sure that I make the first move and not them because they like the girls who make the first move. I really hope that's the truth, because I'm about to do that tonight with my social. I wish I had more guts to actually talk to guys, all I need is confidence and not a drink.

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.
