No Matter What, You Matter

No matter what the life you're living, you CAN make it through. Here are some things to remember on the days that are a little harder to get through.

No Matter What, You Matter
Holly Hayes

No matter who is in the picture, never feel like you aren't loved by anyone at all. There is someone who loves you. You have a value in this world that cannot be replaced, and someone in your life appreciates that value.

No matter how strong you think you need to be, it is okay to cry. Whether or not you believe it, your feelings are valid. A breakdown to let loose and let go does not make you any less of a person. Allow yourself the freedom to feel and to react.

No matter what kind of day you've had today, it can be turned around. A bad beginning and middle can still have a good ending. You have the power to separate yourself from those negative feelings - or address them head on - so that you can finish your day, week, or year on a good note.

No matter what people say, you can still do amazing things. You aren't defined by the labels that others give you. Indulging in those labels and allowing them to control your choices is giving up your power to choose your own path. If someone labels you lazy and incapable, don't let those labels influence your motivation.

No matter what you think, know you are beautiful. The beauty mark on your cheek, the rolls on your stomach, a tall thin frame - none of this changes your beauty. The weight does not change how wonderful you are, marks on your face do not distract from your brain, and scars upon your body do not change your worth or strength. Everything about your body is perfect. It is there for you and has kept you alive - maybe with a little help - so you could be here today.

No matter what, you matter.

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.
