To The Girl Who's Been Told She's Never Enough

The feeling of worthlessness is something all too familiar to the girl that lays in bed at night with that empty feeling in her heart and bottomless pit in her stomach.

For some this feeling stems from a Mom or a Dad. A parent that is supposed to love you until the end of time, but doesn't show it. A parent that put someone or something else before you, their child, and left you feeling like something was wrong with you, that no one would ever want you.

If either of your parents make you forget how loved you are, that's their mistake. Look to other family and friends and you will see that you are more loved than you will ever know.

To that girl, you are enough.

For some this feeling stems from a coach. A coach that gave you a career of riding the bench and forever wishing you were as good as your teammate. Making you feel like no matter how many open gyms you went to, no matter how many private lessons you took, no matter how many times you came early or stayed late, you would never amount to anything close to a valuable player.

He only cared about himself, not giving you a chance. You're worth just as much as anyone on that team.

To that girl, you are enough.

For some this feeling stems from school. A place that reeks of gossip, stress, and bad cafeteria food. Whether it be the teacher that belittled your brain, the clique that never included you, or the boy that made you out to be "crazy".

School is only temporary. Go kick butt in the real world.

To that girl, you are enough.

For some this feeling stems from a friend. A "friend" that didn't deserve that very title. A "friend" that dulled your sparkle, shot down your opinions, neglected to include you, and always left you struggling to measure up to them.

Your heart shines brighter than her ego ever will.

To that girl, you are enough.

For some this feelings stems from a boy. The boy that took advantage of you when you had a little too much to drink. The boy that left you without an explanation. The boy that made you constantly chase for the approval of a man. The boy that left your messages as "Read" and always left you wondering what you did this time. The boy that cheated so you never stopped thinking that no one would ever be satisfied with just you. The boy that made you lie awake at night questioning your worth.

He never deserved you anyways.

To that girl, you are enough.

To each and every one of you, don't let anyone take away your strong, independent girl power. Never wish to be anyone but you. You are beautiful inside and out. And you are 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.
