The Day You Start To Love Yourself
Nanda Bezera

The day has finally come. You wake up, look in the mirror and see all that you are. Today is the day.

You see the way your hair falls so uniquely and how it frames your face perfectly. You notice that sparkle in your eye that draws everyone in. You notice that your smile is like no other and it makes you look beautiful. Today is the day you look at yourself and realize that you love what you see.

You'll put on an outfit on that you know makes your body look flawless. That runway outfit that when you put it on, all eyes are on you. This is your "unstoppable" outfit.

You'll do your makeup or style your hair in a way that is perfect. This instantly puts you in a good mood because not only is your outfit on point, but now the whole image is perfected. You don't feel artificial. You don't feel like you're in a costume. You feel beautiful.

It's time for breakfast and you realize how good you are treating your body by starting the day off right. Maybe you just have a simple bowl of cereal or maybe you make the most extravagant omelette. It doesn't matter. You're starting the day off right.

You scroll through your phone and realize all the potential plans you have ahead of you. Lunch date with the girls? Sports with the guys? Quiet day at the beach? The world is your oyster. You can do whatever because today is the day.

You decide to go out with friends and boy was that the right choice. They surround you with good spirits and funny jokes. You feel like the life of the party and the conversation is just flowing. Your confidence is showing and they definitely notice. It's infectious. Everyone around you can't help but smile and radiate the same light of confidence.

No one wants to stop the party so you all make plans to continue this over dinner. You all order your favorite meals, and you're still infecting people with your smile. They can't get enough of your outgoing nature.

The night is ending and everyone is sad to go. They all give you hugs and tell you this HAS to happen again. You agree because the day was great. You haven't had a day like that in a while but you know there are many more to come because today, something happened.

Today, you didn't go home to dread the next day. Today, you went home and got in your favorite pajamas. Today, you took off your makeup and still saw the beauty. Today, you looked back on a day well spent. Today finally came. Today is the day you woke up and saw all that you are. This is it. Today is the day you started to love yourself.

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.
