To The Girl Who's Not Enough

When someone has the power to break you on the inside, it really sticks with you.

An open letter to the girl who's not enough,

Guess what, princess, you are enough. But I'm just as guilty of feeling like I'm not as you are. The last year has really taught me about myself, who I am and who I want to be. And what I've learned is that I am enough even when I feel like I'm not at all.

Here's the thing that no one else understands: that feeling comes from within. Whether it's caused by your family, your friends, a significant other, or whoever; that feeling takes a while to change. When someone has the power to break you on the inside, it really sticks with you. And once you become broken, it becomes so hard to fix.

But being enough isn't about fixing yourself; it's about fixing the way you care about people. It's about not letting someone define you. You're your own person first and foremost, and that alone makes you enough.

So with it being so early into the new year, make this promise to yourself.....say screw everyone that makes you feel like you aren't 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.

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.
