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

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.
