To The Person I Used To See Myself As

Worry less about who you are, Work more on who you want to become.

To The Person I Used To See Myself As
Kristen Atwell

To the girl I used to see myself as... Why did you fear failure so much? You used to walk into a room full of people and worry about how they viewed you instead of stopping to think about how you viewed them. To that girl who used to be scared that her hard work would never pay off... You completed three Division One strength and conditioning internships by the end of your second year of college. To the girl who used to write poetry for her hometown paper but was too embarrassed to publish it... look at you now, many would love to pick your brain over coffee one day. Why were you embarrassed? Just in case you are still worried that your hard work will never pay off, guess what, it already has. Your hard work pays off every time you walk into church on Sundays and share a kind word or smile, every time you hit the gym a second or third time but still feel exhausted from the first time you went. To that girl who looked in the mirror wondering who she would become, guess what, you graduate in 38 days. You are almost there. Keep on keeping on! Fear nothing, Love everything.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
