The Journey Of Self-Love
Authentic Growth

Self-love is easy to start, but hard to complete. It almost seems impossible sometimes to the point where you want to give up and stop trying. Just know that there is an end and the results will be something you will not regret. The journey of self-love can take a long time, but you will learn new things about the world around you, the people who support you, and most importantly...yourself.


Find your Purpose

You always matter in this world and don't you ever forget that. Find something that makes you smile and will make you a much happier person. It can be, a hobby, a new job, travel, a relationship, etc. You are already a purpose in this life, you just should find another one that makes you happy.

Forgive

Forgiving is one of those things that you do not really want to do, but you do it to make yourself feel better. Once you have forgiven everything you possibly can in life, you will feel a weight being lifted off of your shoulders. Not only can you forgive others, but you can forgive yourself as well. Forgiving is one of the first steps of letting go and moving on with your life.

Let go of all the negativity

This can go along with forgiving because you are letting go of all the bad that held you back in the past. Let go of those people that do not matter the most in your life and just carry on. They were not doing you any good, so why have them continue on in your journey of self love? Move your focus on to the people that truly matter and that only show you positivity.

Take care of yourself

Exercise, eat well, travel, explore, etc. You need to take care of yourself before anyone else. Make sure you are happy and content with life and also content with yourself. I guarantee that will make this journey a lot more easier if you just give yourself more credit.

Have self-love

You need to show love to yourself and do not be your own worst enemy. Think of yourself as another person and how you would treat them, and then treat yourself the exact same way. You deserve love from yourself because that is the strongest love there is out there.

Live life

I know this one may seem the easiest out of all of them, but in all honesty it may be one of the hardest. Living life to the fullest is essential on the road to self love. Do things that terrify you (in a good way), do things that you would have never done before, do things with no regrets, and do things that make YOU happy. Do not just stay inside your whole life, wishing what your life could have been; go out there and live it so you can look back on it. Have memories to last a lifetime, and you will be the happiest person alive.

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.
