Self-Worth Is More Than A Boy

You come first

Self-Worth Is More Than A Boy
Taylor Barnhart

You’re worth way more than just a boy. It’s hard to live without someone you have spent so much time with. You are who you are; strong, independent, and determined. You were born with those qualities, a boy didn’t give you that, he just fell in love with them. He inspired you to be a better version of yourself you never thought possible. Even if your relationship doesn’t work out you take what you learned about yourself and carry that with you for the rest of your life. Take time to remember who you were before he changed your life. If you are in a relationship it’s important to remember your self-worth, you can’t solely base your happiness on another person.

You owe yourself the love that you so freely give to other people.

Self love is SO important. When you see yourself clearly, with eyes full of love and acceptance, you hold space for others to meet you there. Sometimes your soul mate is yourself. Sometimes you have to be the love of your life until you discover that type of love in someone else.

Once you accept the love you deserve from yourself, no one will be able to take that away from you. In a relationship you’re supposed to meet the person that will change your life, not your worth. If you allow someone the power to fill you with compliments you have allowed the person to destroy you with their criticism.

“Self love is an ocean and your heart is a vessel. Make it full, and any excess will spill over into the lives of the people you hold dear. But you must come first.” It’s easy to forget about yourself in order to make those around you happy, but make sure the people around you have your best interest in mind. People aren’t meant to be mean, its just lack of self-worth. They haven’t found the fire inside their soul yet, and need a little boosting. Be humble, but be kind, for on your journey come others that may need your guidance.

xo, Jess

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.
