I Love Myself Exactly The Way I Am, And Girl, You Should Too
Brooke Smith

It has taken me a long time to find out how, and in what ways, to love myself. This self-love journey has taken a whole 22 years of my life, so don't feel bad if it takes you a long time too. Throughout this journey, I have learned super important lessons in order to stay successful in my journey.

I am so grateful for getting myself through this journey and finally loving me for my whole self — even with flaws and through my journey of realizing that nobody is perfect. Here are some of the most important lessons I have learned throughout my self-love journey.

1. One thing you can control in your life is how others make you feel. 

In simpler terms, and in a more famous quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

2. Take a deep breath and step forward.

Meditation and mindfulness can really help you be open and honest with yourself and make you a little bit braver.

3. Grace and glory will meet you at every turn. 

Give yourself the patience and time to heal.

4. The struggles make you stronger. 

Every struggle and battle can be a learning lesson, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

5. Meet yourself where you are. 

Everyone's journey takes a different direction and timeline.

6. Self-care is key. 

Find what makes you zen and happy.

7. You can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first. 

You can't take care of others or even other tasks in your life if you do not take care of yourself.

8. You’re a work of art. Not everyone will understand you, but the ones who do, will never forget about you.

You are worthy of every great thing in the world, and those who do not believe otherwise can take a hike.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
