A Letter To The People Who Need to Love Themselves
Istock

There is a point in everyone’s life where people begin to wonder why they aren’t happy. In addition, there are times where people may wonder why something went wrong, why certain people hurt them. That is where the process of feeling broken starts. This feeling of everlasting doom, the feeling that makes you wonder why in the end you are still here. However, with that feeling there are many positive things that could happen.

It starts with the moment where you stand in front of a mirror. For some people this is one of the most difficult things to do, especially since now we are going to pick at what you see in that mirror. As you stand there I ask you to look deeper than the skin, deeper than the inner part of your body and into the emotional part. This is the part that you never want to look at or judge. The part that you try to hide and, or try never talking about. In this part I need you to listen to your biggest fears and insecurities about yourself. This is the part when you look into that mirror and realize that those details you seen don’t define who you are. In addition, there maybe things that you wish never existed.

It takes a lot for some to admit that he or she wants to make a difference in their life. To do this the mirror is essential, this means that someone needs to realize that you yourself are the only person who needs to be happy. To determine that you must realize that after being hurt and seeing that you have the battle wounds.

With these battle wounds are the ones that are shown on the inside, this is the reason I asked you to look under the skin and deeper. These are wounds that only you see but these are the wound that make you who you are. These are the wounds that only you can heal when you see them.

To love yourself takes a long time, especially when there are a lot of things that could impact that love. The moment that someone tells you a sentence, word, or even phrase. In that moment those things stick to you and those are things that will cause the impact.

To love yourself, you need to be the one that accepts the damage that was caused by someone. In that moment you will realize that this damage caused by sooner is not your fault. Someone took something from you and then cause this distress that brings your self-esteem down.

To love yourself, don’t hold back from the letting your wings out. This mean that you need to be the person who lets other people know that you are not tied down to whatever caused you to think down about yourself. People will always cause you to hurt and people will always hurt you. Those people that hurt you don’t need in your life.

This letter, is to the people who struggle every day and for that reason I will be writing. So that people understand that you are not alone.

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.
