Did you remember to eat today?

An Open Letter To Myself
Tiffany Dewes

Did you remember to eat today? Did you use your face wash before bed? Did you workout today? Have you told yourself that you are beautiful?

Those are just some of the questions you have to remember to ask yourself. You work a lot, make sure you eat at least one good meal, please? It is important that you eat every day. Did you make a point to use your facewash tonight, even if you decided to shower in the morning? You know you always feel better after washing your face? Did you have time to work out today? You know that working out helps your depression and makes you feel better about yourself. More importantly, did you look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful and loved? Because you are, and that is something that you can never forget.

Please, no matter how rough things get, never forget that you are a beautiful, strong woman and that you are loved. You have so many loved ones that care about you and need you around. No matter how down you get on yourself, just look in the mirror and smile. You are so beautiful when you smile, you really do have an amazing smile.

Don’t forget to do the little things that make you happy either. Sing your favorite songs on the way to school and to work, it helps put you in a good mood. Sing loud and proud, it doesn't matter that you aren't the best at singing. Turn the music up loud and jam, don't think twice about the person next to you at the stop light, you probably won't see them again anyways.

Try to make at least one new friend today, making new friends is important, life is better when you have people to talk to. Be nice to everyone that you see today, being mean will only put you in a bad mood. Treat others how you want to be treated, even if they don't respond the same, someone will, I promise.

No matter how your day is going, just remember these few basic rules and you will have a better day, I promise. Live your life by these rules, it will help get you through the days. Don’t forget that this bad day is exactly that, just a bad day. Even if it is more than a day, but maybe even a bad week, that is all it, and it will pass. Things will get better, they always will.

And don't forget to eat at least one good meal, use your face wash, try to workout, and tell yourself that you are beautiful.

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.
