Stop Allowing Yourself To Be Treated Like S***
Brooke Cagle

Stop letting yourself get treated like shit.

You know you aren't getting treated fairly, so remove the negative people from your life. You know you deserve to be getting treated better, and you're done with the bullshit. Own up to people who treat you poorly and shut them down. Shut down their words, actions and thoughts toward you, and show them that you are better than they will ever know. Show them you are able to find better people to have a place in your life, and don't need their negativity.

Whether they make rude remarks toward you, ignore you, or simply just don't appreciate you as much as they should, walk away and make it clear to them you deserve to be treated better. Show to them you don't deserve to have rude comments made towards based on how you look or dress on a certain day, whether they are joking around or not. If they really care about you and love you they would tell you the positives about the way you look or dress and give you the unexpected compliments you deserve to hear every once in awhile.

Don't put up with people ignoring your calls, texts, Snapchats, or conversation. You always deserve to be answered even if it just a couple of words. You don't deserve to be ignored about a topic of conversation just because the other person doesn't want to talk about the topic. They should be honest with you instead of lying or just ignoring you time after time. It's not fair to always be putting in all the effort in a conversation and not getting a response just because the other person doesn't like the topic of interest.

Lastly, walk away and know you deserve to be appreciated by the ones that love you each and every day. Understand that and know that they should value you, and make you feel good. Don't let them constantly bring you down and make you feel less worthy. Only keep the good people in your life that make you feel good almost every day, and remove those that bring you down, day after day, and week after week.

All in all, stop letting yourself get treated like shit. Remove the toxic people from your life that bring you down and make you feel bad about yourself. You deserve to be surrounded by people who lift you up each and every day, that also treat you how you deserve to be treated. Know and recognize when you are being treated poorly, and don't be afraid to stand up to those who treat you like shit. Put them in their place and show them you are better than what they see in you and go out there a prove them wrong. You deserve to be treated the right way.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
