Because you can't learn to love anything genuine, if you don't love yourself first

Why Self-Love Should Be An Important Factor In Your Life

Self-love is one of the strongest traits a person can have. You're with it as a little human-being and gradually, over time, you face different milestones in your life that can alter that self-love you endured as a child. I like to believe when I look at such things around me, whereever I may be at the time. When I look, I capture. I capture memories I love, dislike, wish I could go back in time and change. But that would mean you've still left a window open, in your heart, that's allowed to break you, shape you or alter your way of thinking whenever you think of that memory.

To be able to love yourself entirely throughout this life, means you're allowed to make mistakes as a human and still love the person you are after.

If there is anything I learned growing up with a variety of meaningful and non-meaningful memories, ones I wish I could take back. It does not mean it defines you, or any action you've made, or anything that is stopping you from loving the person you are today.

It's important to be aware of the person you are today, in order to love yourself from here on. It means you can tackle anything, and allow yourself to break in difficult scenarios and not be the person you are when you're full of emotions, simply because...your self-love overcomes it all.

Your ability to acknowledge bad scenarios, and unwanted feelings gives you room and strength that you didn't ask for. To believe in yourself every day and know since you love yourself, you can never be defined by another human beings action. Whether it's a negative or positive impact on yourself, the self-love you endure and achieve more of every day is now defining the beautiful person you were set out to be. So remember, to love you because their is no one else out there who can be you and have the same mind as you. Flaunt it, own it, and believe in yourself everyday because you are worth it. 0-100, real quick folks.

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.
