Seven Reasons

Why you should never give up.

Seven Reasons
Marisa Salazar

I know where you are right now. You feel like there is no hope in this world. You feel worthless, disgusting, and used. You feel like you will not live up to anyone else's standards; and honey, that is right, the only standards you can live up to are your own. Here are seven reasons why you should never give up:

1) You deserve someone who actually sees your worth.

People are rude. Girls are brats. Boys are d***s. But that does not mean that they are always that way. There are millions of people who want your attention and millions of people who will adore you.

2) You were given rights, so use them.

You were born into this world, so make everyday count. You are not promised tomorrow, you are only promised the breath you take. You have human rights, you have the right to freedom, and you have the right to be yourself. If people do not like that, then so what.

3) You are more than a “piece of meat.”

In today’s world, it seems like everything is a booty-call. If you are into that sort of thing and your partner is too, then so be it. But if you do not like that activity and you still do it, then why are you doing it? You do not need to do anything you don’t want to do in fear of rejection from the opposite sex.

4) You have a reason on this earth that will make a difference to someone.

Believe it or not, you have the power to change someone’s life, whether it be good or bad. You may come across someone who needs you in their life to show them exactly what you are trying to find.

5) Someone will come along and show you that love takes multiple forms.

This can be discovered through friends, pets, family, you never know. Love is not just a guy and a gal, it takes place in millions of forms. Love the people you have and keep your heart open to new people who need it.

6) You can be missing the chance of a lifetime.

When you settle, you could be missing an opportunity. It can be traveling, meeting a person you need in your life, or a dream job. When you settle, you feel like you are stuck and can never leave... you can.

7) Life may seem hard, but the shining road is ahead.

Life is hard, there should seriously be a handbook for it. That being said, look at how many other things you thought you would never overcome. Look at how far you have come! Place your hand over your heart, that thump you feel is the shining road ahead. As long as your heart is beating, there is always a promise for a shiny new day.

The only person that can make you happy is you. You are the creator of your story so make it a good one and place the negative behind. You are the star of the movie

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
