The Girl Who Knows She's Worth It

I am worth it, and I dare you to tell me otherwise.

The Girl Who Knows She's Worth It
Entrepreneur

I will be the first to admit that I have flaws, because I am not afraid to embrace them. I may not have it all together, but I know what I am capable of. I am the girl who knows she's worth it.

I am worth being bragged about. I am worth being fought for. And, I am worth being loved.

Some days I may talk a little too much, or sometimes I might just completely shut down and push people away. My moods may change often, and I might be a little irritating to those around me. I could never promise to be perfect, because I will mess up every now and then. I can be stubborn, and I might even make you feel as if you are speaking to a brick wall on my really bad days. There will be times where I may act extremely emotional, and there will be days where I may even act the slightest bit careless. I might eat too much junk food, and I honestly don't exercise as much as I should. I get a little frustrated when things do not go my way, and I might even push myself too hard, sometimes. I'm clumsy, and I embarrass myself more often than your average person. I'm sensitive, and I wear my heart on my sleeve. I love too hard, and I look for the good in people, even when it is quite obvious that there is none.

Yes, I have flaws. But, I am worth it.

I am passionate, and I never give up. I work hard, and I support those around me. I am genuine. I go out of my way to help others, and I neglect myself in the process. I take care of my responsibilities, and still make time for the ones I love. I am selfless, sometimes. I build my own self back up when I am constantly beaten down by others. I don't look for handouts. I'm a giver, but I've had things taken from me. I have reached my breaking point many times, but I find the strength to bounce back. I apologize when I am in the wrong, and I do not hold grudges. I am focused, and I have an extensive list of goals I have set for myself. I daydream (obsessively) about my future, and constantly think of ways to become a better person. I have the drive and dedication to pursue a lifetime full of success. I do not allow anyone to interfere with my dreams or ambitions. I have morals, values and beliefs. I am still growing as a person, and I am working hard to become the woman that I am destined to be. I am not anyone's doormat, nor am I a toy. I am powerful, and I am strong. I am a sucker for love, a hopeless romantic. I will have your back when no one else does, and I will love you unconditionally.

Yes, you are right. I am not perfect. Please, tell me something that I don't know.

I am the girl who knows her worth. I know I am flawed, and I am OK with that.

I am often misunderstood, and I've been made fun of more than most people would think. I'm mocked, and belittled. I face many demons alone, and still manage to stay strong. I am a lover, and a fighter. I'll always fight for what I believe in, and I won't back down. I forgive people who have hurt me, and I'm someone who believes in second chances. I am taken advantage of, and I've been made a fool out of, too. I have been through the ringer, and I have never allowed any struggles I have faced to alter my character.

No, I don't want sympathy, nor do I crave pity. The hardships I have faced, and the flaws I have do not define me as a person.

I am just a girl who knows she is worth it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
