Though I May

"For every sad thing you think of, you should think of three happy things to chase it away." -Zoe Sugg

There are lots of things I may be. There are lots of things that can counter these "may be's" as well. Everyone has things about themselves that they're not particularly happy with. But, instead of focusing on the bad, focus on the good. Focus on the things you can do, and do well. Focusing on the negative aspects of yourself will get you nowhere. It's better to think about the positive aspects about yourself. So here are mine:

Though I may be bad at math, I'm excellent at English.

Though I may be shy, I have a great heart.

Though I may be young, I have an old soul.

Though I may get anxious a lot, I still try to stay happy.

Though I may have bad days, I still have the people that love me.

Though I may get bored easily, I'll always have books to read.

Though I may be a slow worker, I want what to take my time on what I do and have it be perfect.

Though I may think less of myself some days, the people I love think the world of me.

Though I may not always have the most money, I'd rather be happy.

Though I may think I can't, I can do anything I set my mind to.

Though I may not think I'm beautiful every day, my boyfriend thinks I am every day.

Though I may have one bad day, there are 1,000 more good days.

Though I may be a nerd, I'm happy with who I am.

Though I may fail a test, I'm still smart.

Though I may rewatch FRIENDS, it never gets old.

Though I may cry easily, it's only because I care.

Though I may have a lot of thoughts and feelings, I can always write them down.

Though my life may get tough, I can always enjoy nature.

Though I may think I have problems, mine mean nothing in the big scheme of things.

Though I may make a mistake, I'm only human.

Though I may rewatch, reread, and replay tv shows, movies, books, and video games, I always learn new things from them.

Though it may seem tough right now, I have my whole life ahead of me.

So, everytime you think of one bad thing, don't put yourself down. Think of the counter to your point. Think of another thing you know you are instead of what you may be.

Because though you may think you're not good enough, there are other people that think the opposite.

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.
