There Is Always Someone Prettier
Maddie Blomgren

It doesn’t seem fair that there is always a prettier girl that you have to try to compete with. It sucks when you feel like you have to try to keep up with other girls in order to get attention. It doesn’t seem fair that girls are influenced by the media to look a certain way, every single day. There are so many apps/filters for people to change the whole natural look of themselves. I am not saying they are good or bad or shouldn’t be used, but just remember that being yourself and doing what makes you happy is all that matters! Being yourself is truly how you can set yourself apart from everyone else. Social media shows ways that girls are all so much alike, but your values and personality is where you can prove that you are more than a pretty face or how you differ from another girl. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind when you feel like you are not good enough or not pretty enough.

Guess what: there is always a better looking guy too, remember that. Don’t let guys string you along, making you feel like you are not good enough or that there is someone better because there is no one in the world like you. Guys have a way of making things seem like they are in control of the status of a relationship, or deciding whether or not to have interest. Show him who you are and don’t pretend to be something he might like, be what you like and what you want him to like. Don’t pretend to be dumb, that’s not cute. Show how truly down to earth, fun, outgoing, and completely yourself you are. Personality is key in your beauty.

Be confident in yourself! Whether you like to wear a lot of makeup or not, you like what you like. You need to find someone who likes you for who you are. Don't change yourself your own kind of pretty for someone else's liking. Because realistically, they can find someone else with those features or characteristics. Having confidence will allow him to see the real you. Don’t listen to people when they say “ he is way out of your league.” Maybe he is hot as s***, but that should not discourage you from taking chances. Beauty isn’t all about having a pretty face. It’s about having an open mind, a warming heart, and a genuine soul, those are things that an app can't change. Everyone has this idea of who should date who, who is pretty enough, who is smart enough, who looks the best together etc. Have fun, take changes, have confidence in yourself and don't worry about if you are pretty enough!

If you have a boyfriend, allow him to have pretty girlfriends. You can't shut girls out of his life. I don't get why girls do that to their boyfriends, it never ends well. You need to trust him! He chose you for a reason. Everyone has pretty friends and if you can't deal with your boyfriend being around them, pretty is not the issue, it's trust. So again, have confidence in yourself. There is always someone prettier, but no one like you.

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.
