For me, 2018 is my year and as cliche as that sounds, it's true. This year I have made it my personal goal or resolution if you will to focus on myself, and only myself. Yes, this does make me sound arrogant and selfish in a way but, out of all the relationships one has whether they be romantic or friendly, the most important relationship you can have is the relationship you have with yourself.

It is so important to continuously work on that relationship and become comfortable with yourself. I, myself, have always had my own insecurities and have continued to struggled even to this day with loving myself and the true meaning behind it. What really is self-love anyways? Is it even important or beneficial in any way?

Self-love is SO important. You have to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else. Loving yourself however, isn't just about being comfortable in your own skin, it's about taking care of yourself and taking time for yourself. It's about treating yourself, doing things you want to do for your own benefit and not the benefit of others. It's about taking yourself out to eat or treating yourself to a spa day.

Self-love is about finding your own happiness and having inner peace. It is about getting in touch with yourself and your well being. It is about your relationship with yourself and working on being the best version of yourself. You are special. You are important and you are loved.

Your relationship with yourself is what defines you. You need to be comfortable with your thoughts and feelings. You need to continuously take good care of yourself and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Become your own best friend, love yourself, accept yourself, practice self-reflection and most importantly learn to forgive yourself. Maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself is so important and one of the best things you can do this year. Take the time for yourself because once you build and establish a good and healthy relationship with yourself you can build and maintain healthy realtionships with others and from that point on... the possiblities are endless.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
