Dear you,

Yes you. I see you. I see what you say to yourself when you think no one is watching. I see you thinking you’re not pretty enough. I see you thinking that you aren’t funny enough or “cool” enough to be around. I see you because I am you. I think these things when I see my “friends” leave me for someone new. I think these things when the guy I like either doesn’t like me back or just stops talking to me. But I am here to tell you, that you are enough. No, you are worth so much more and you always going to be enough! Don’t let anyone let you think that you are not enough! You are beautiful inside and out.

You are beautiful!

No one should ever be allowed to have the ability to decide whether you are beautiful or not. This does not only refer to outer beauty, but also refers to the beauty within. If anyone ever tries to tell you that you are anything but beautiful, you do not need that negativity in your life. Surround yourself with people who love you, and when people tell you that you are beautiful, believe them!

Never change who you are.

Never change for anyone! If someone doesn’t like something about you, that is their loss. You shouldn’t have to hide something about yourself that makes you special or proud just because they don’t like it. Surround yourself with people who will support all you amazing qualities and will push you to pursue your dreams. In the end, be happy with yourself and your life, because it is your life and you are going to have to live with all your decisions, so better make sure they make you happy.

Don’t worry what other people think.

I always make this mistake, thinking that everything I do has to be validated by my friends. But that is not the case. Sometimes, you just have to do what makes you happy. Don’t do something because it is “acceptable” by your friends. And always be happy with your decisions because you never want to live with regrets!

And never forget: You are enough!

I can’t stress this enough. If anyone tells you or even makes you feel that you aren’t enough, please walk away and find people who will make you feel as special as you truly are. You are good enough and you should never feel alone. Nobody and I mean nobody has the right to make you feel like you aren’t enough. And if your friend ever makes you feel down or makes you question your happiness, then that person is not as a friend to you. Do not let anyone put you down! Know your worth and know your standards, and don’t lower them because you feel lonely. I know what that feels like, but I also know what it’s like when you find the people who love every inch of you. So please know, you are good enough, and there are so many people out there that love you, every little bit.

Sincerely,

The girl who learned she is enough

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.
