You are worth it.

To the Girl Who Never Feels Like She's Enough
Like Success

We've all been there. We are going about our normal lives feeling confident as ever until that one thing appears that makes everything you've ever believed in crumble. That thing is called self doubt and it's capable of crippling even the strongest person.

It can be anything. A bad grade, a snobby friend, a rude comment, a boy.

These things sneak into our lives and then suddenly we feel like we are never going to be good enough. It's hard. It's really hard, and we walk around with this feeling every day. The words "you can't do that" or "he's too good for you" repeats in your head over and over. You don't think you are beautiful or smart anymore. This isn't something that goes away,

To every girl who has felt these insecurities, let me tell you that you are good enough and you are not alone. Do not let these fears and doubts become your undoing, although I know how hard that is. Do not waste your precious time and effort trying to put together broken glass that is too far gone.

Remember that if a boy ever makes you feel small, he is the one who is not good enough.

Remember that grades do not control you or define the quality person that you are.

Remember that every rude comment is just someone else's insecurities and they should not control you.

Remember that you are beautiful and strong and don't need anyone to make you feel that way. Never question your self worth because you are good enough. Try to surround yourself in positivity and get rid of any negative. Life is short. You should not spend it on little worries and self doubt. Stop worrying about what people think about you and focus on yourself. ou deserve that much.

Sincerely,

A girl who knows what it's like to feel like she's not good enough

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.
