10 Reasons Why You Need To Love Yourself
Psych Central

Recently, I've been doing a lot of intense, and kind of heavy articles, so this week I want to lighten it up a bit. I'm going to give you ten reasons why you're a queen or king or whatever it is you want to be. Sometimes we get super down on ourselves and we forget why we're special and that we are important. Here's ten reasons why you're so amazing, and why you need to embrace who you are.

1. There is no one else like you

Who you are is who you are. You are no one else, and that is extremely special. Be who you are, embrace it, and love every moment of it.

2. Your quirkiness is what makes you stand out

Don't feel embarrassed of your quirks because they make you who you are, and that's something to be proud of!

3. You are talented!

Everyone has their own special talent! Don't ever forget that special quality about yourself, and don't take that away from yourself. You really are awesome!

4. You are strong

Everyone goes through tough times, but when you overcome that, it is so unbelievable. Be proud of overcoming all the hard times you've endured.

5. Don't let anyone bring you down

Don't let other people's negativity bring you down. You have the power to remove the bad energy out of your life. Keep all positive vibes in your life!

6. Don't put yourself down

You deserve to be happy. Let yourself soak in all the love and happiness in your life, don't tell yourself you don't deserve that.

7. Accept your flaws


I know this is extremely difficult for every human being, but once you start to accept your flaws, you will become happier, and you will see the change within yourself!

8. Learn to take compliments

Don't be afraid to say thank you for something someone thinks is great about you! Believe them, they mean what they are saying about you, take the compliment...TAKE IT!

9. When you're having a great day, celebrate that

Just be happy. Let yourself celebrate what a great day you're having and share that with some amazing people too.

10. Be who you are and embrace it


Emma Stone says it all. Just be who you are and you WILL be so happy and you'll be on a path to endlessly happy, exciting, and wonderful life.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
