The Importance Of Personal Style

Personal style is one of immediate features someone notices about another. It makes a statement, it reveals a piece of who you are, and it is the ultimate form of outer self-expression. Finding this style, however, can be a daunting task- and for good reason.

Finding personal style is a part of finding who you are. As you progress from an adolescent to a teen to an adult, your personal style evolves with you, reflecting your changes in maturity and sense of self.

One day you are wearing neon tees and glitter in your hair because it’s the “cool thing to do” and the next you hesitantly break from the mainstream and realize that you have never felt more confident in a plain grey sweater and simple accessories to compliment your personality.

As young teens and adults, we are bombarded with the media and others’ opinions of the correct ways to dress and style ourselves in order to attain the ideal standard- which ultimately holds us back from finding our personal style.

The norm needs to be that there is no norm. The standard needs to be to attain confidence and happiness.

Personal style is the point in which you reach freedom from the constraints of societal influences to dress a certain way, and have complete freedom of self expression.

Be confident, be free, and be 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.
