These Are My Insecurities.

Everyone has them.

These Are My Insecurities.

My chin points out in a weird way, and I have these huge pores that I see every time I look in a mirror. My nose is a little too large for my face, and my lips are a little too small. My eye bags never seem to go away, so I look permanently exhausted. It's kind of like I haven't slept in days, but that's also a little true. I sleep way too much or way too little. My height makes me look about 13-16 years old. I can't remember a time where someone actually thought I was over the age of 16. I gain weight if I eat even the slightest bit off track, so I end up eating too much or too little. That's another flaw of mine though, I care if I gain weight. It seems to be all or nothing with me, and it's really something I can't help. My laugh is super loud, and my voice is incredibly squeaky. I have a short temper. I have stretch marks almost everywhere from the said before, gaining and loosing so often. No matter what I do, I can't make my double chin go away. I'm a bit of a try hard.

These are my insecurities.

But, the only great thing about insecurities; is that we all have them.

No one is alone in this battle against themselves. Even if someone seems to have it all together within themselves, they still have their moments. Even the biggest self-love advocate, has their days.

Justify your insecurities, and turn them into something positive. Even if the positive out come is that you can simply joke about it, that counts for something.

These are my insecurities, but I am not alone.

Neither are 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.
