This One Is For The Girls That Think They Aren't Good Enough
Courtney Phillips

This one is for the girls that think they aren't good enough. I want you to stop right there…YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH! Don't you dare sit there and think any less of yourself. Don't you even dare let some fool make you feel any less of yourself.

I am going to be the first to tell you... I am that girl that lets fools make me feel less of myself. I am that girl that thinks she isn't good enough. I am going to tell you why I feel this way right now.

My entire life I have always been someone's second option, I am never a first choice. After a while that gets old and starts to tear me down. So, therefore, it makes me feel like I am not good enough for anyone. Especially in the male department, I am always the second option or something like that. It makes me feel like I am not pretty enough or something. I also never really get the chance to be myself before they end up leaving, which makes me wonder if I really am that bad to talk to. I personally cannot handle this feeling anymore. I have been broken down so many times it's not even funny at this point.

I lately have been finding myself wondering, "Why did I ever care what people thought?" Well, I'll tell you why! It's because TV shows/movies make it seem like we should be living in this world with unrealistic expectations of how things should be.

I have come to the realization that the only person that really matters is you. The only person's opinion that matters is your own. You don't have to prove to anyone what you're worth as long as you are happy. That boy you are stressing over doesn't mean anything, and yes, I said boy, because no man would make you feel worthless!

So to those of you that are struggling with this, keep on shining babygirl, you are stronger than you think!

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.
