They're Not Bigger

Nobody can make you feel inferior

They're Not Bigger

While life is filled with happy, fun, and loving moments and memories from the relationships you build around you, there will be tough times as well, of course. There will be some people in your life in which your paths were simply supposed to go different ways, and that is perfectly okay. Not everyone you meet in life is supposed to be permanent. Sometimes when these paths start to stray away from the ones you were on together, the outcome can be pretty rough. There will always be some people in life who will go out of their way to make sure you cringe. Because of the falling out you two shared, instead of bettering themselves from the experience, they would rather take any opportunity they can to tear you down, or watch you get upset. The best way to treat these situations is to always remember you are stronger than what they are trying to bring you down to.

These type of people are losses in your life that you should be grateful for. You will never need anyone that is capable of treating you in such a poor and immature way after you've disagreed with them. They could be an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, a friend, a coach, a teacher. Anyone in your life, could possibly bring upon this kind of experience.

The situations you could find yourself in with these kinds of people can be extremely uncomfortable. Whether they're giving you dirty looks, saying things at you under their breath, talking about you behind your back, or posting about you on social media, the most important thing there is to remember is that you are better than their immature actions. They will do anything to feel as if they are above you, as if they're bigger than you.

They aren't, and they never ever will be.

Despite all of their attempts, you cannot let them get to you. Hold your head up high, and remember your worth. There is nothing wrong with having a falling out with anyone in your life. Everything happens for a reason, so if they aren't in your life anymore, you can't doubt that it is for a good reason. If they can't understand, or respect that, then they have some growing up to do. You can't let them get you down, make you cry, add stress to your life, or make you question your worth. No one has that kind of power over you.

You have the strength in you to look right past them when they are trying their malicious ways on you. You are bigger than that, and they are NOT bigger than 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.
