All of us girls are guilty of it, including me. Some of us are more guilty than others, but WAY TOO OFTEN we allow boys to determine our worth and how we feel about ourselves. Just recently, I had a boy, emphasis on the word boy because he's definitely not a man, stop talking to me because I wouldn't give him the one thing that he wanted.

I felt so bad about myself thinking that it was my fault, but then I thought, "Did he really stop talking to me for that one reason? If so, that just means he didn't appreciate me for the person I am."

That started a wildfire.

I started to remember all the times I've let guys rip into my self-confidence and make me feel worthless because of little, ignorant reasons. I almost had to laugh at myself because I really let them get to me in ways they shouldn't have.

Then, I felt somewhat sad.

I was sad for all the time I lost that I could've spent loving who I am. Instead, it was wasted while I was worrying about why I wasn't good enough for someone who turned out to not be good enough for me.

I never needed them in my life, and if they can't realize I'm a person with feelings, then I don't want them in my life. I have great friends who I know I can count on, and my life is going pretty great. Sure, love is amazing, but it's not necessary and will come at the right time.

So, to the girl who's worrying about why that one guy isn't texting you back or why he moved onto a different girl, just stop. I know that's easier said than done, trust me, but once you stop letting those thoughts consume your brain, you'll feel so much better.

You are amazing and have so much going for you. If one person isn't good enough to realize that, then that's their fault. Don't let them belittle you and make you think that something is wrong with you or that you need to work on something about you.

If you feel like you have areas to work on, do it for you and no one else. Be confident in who you are, and soon enough, the right person will come along who will appreciate you and love you for you.

In the words of Bruno Mars, "Girl you're amazing, just the way you are."
