The Importance Of Appreciating Yourself

You might feel alone, I'm here to tell you, you're not.

The Importance Of Appreciating Yourself
www.iamru.by

To come this far in life, I have walked through Hell and back. I know it sounds bad, but I'm here to tell you it gets better. I've talked many friends out of self harm as well as suicide. I love hearing what other people have to say and making sure everyone feels important in their own way. If you're like me, you know the struggle of always putting others before yourself.

Sometimes, when we do this it's easy to lose track of loving yourself and it's hard to remember that it's okay to put yourself before others every once in a while. It's okay to take care of you, if you're always taking care of everyone else's needs and wants. We tend to forget that making ourselves feel important is something we should do as well. Why I say "Never Give Up" is simple.

If you're the person who people come to for stress-relief, venting or even a shoulder to cry on, it can be hard to find someone to be there for you and your own stress-relief or venting. You may ask yourself, "Where's my shoulder?" Most people, myself included, tend to feel unwanted and under-appreciated. Well, we aren't. Because of you, people have survived. You turned their tears into smiles, their broken hearts into mended minds, and, most importantly, you have influenced them in one way they can't forget. Because of you, we are still here. When you feel lonely, don't be scared to turn the page in the book of your life.

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.
