Self Love Is The Greatest Love Of All

Self-love is the best love.

Self Love Is The Greatest Love Of All
Everyday Feminism

We are living in a time where ladies are struggling with realizing their self- worth. Social media and society have both impacted how women are portrayed by enforcing certain requirements of how their physical, mental, social, and physiological nature should be. Often times this causes feelings of self-doubt and low confidence and leads females to question themselves and their abilities. As a result, some women put on a façade using makeup, hair extensions, and clothes to cover up their flaws.

In addition to this it may cause one to be ashamed of their own skin tone if it does not depict what society approves. Questions may pop up into their heads and they may begin to wonder if they're pretty enough, if anyone cares about them, or their purpose for even being alive. The list is endless, but it is good to look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful inside and out because you're you. God created you so you have no reason to wonder if anyone loves you or if you're good enough.

A lot of women struggle with this constant battle with their personal flaws and insecurities. You have to realize who you are and that God has created you for a purpose because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Robin Robinson, a Tuskegee University student once stated, “It should be our soul duty to be more different than we are alike.” We are all Queens and we should make sure we love ourselves enough so that others can reciprocate love and respect to us as well.

“Self-love requires courage. Have the strength to be who you are in a world that tries desperately to make you different. Never compromise to be who you are not.”

Remember self-love is the best love.

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.

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.
