To the girl who is always competing,

We all know that one girl in the group that makes everything a competition when frankly nobody is competing. It is hard to put into words why a girl will compete with her friends instead of building them up but I for one, have experienced this first hand. Being in a competition that I had no idea I was even competing in.

Why is it necessary to embarrass your friends when sitting in a group of guys?? None of your friends want you to point them out in a crowd to be brutally embarrassed, so why do girls continue to bash their friends? Build them up, be proud of your girls! Talk highly about them and let how proud you are of your friends be a characteristic of beauty within you!

Why is it necessary to judge your friends for the mistakes they have made? Every one makes mistakes and nine times out of ten your hands are not the cleanest either, life is a learning experience and you have to be there for them when times get rough. Do not bash them, do not go tell the world. Tell them it is okay and your mistakes make you who you are. If you secretly find joy in your friend’s failure you need to reevaluate who you are, that is a bigger issue.

Why do you go out of your way to be in the spot light? Let people come to you and show interest in you, do not be the loudest just so that group of guys across the room will notice you. Let you walking by or having a good time with your friends be what interests them in you, do not beg for the attention because if you have to beg for it you are going to soon realize that you never really wanted it.

Your friend’s flaws that you point out cannot be solely what you build your confidence on. You must have confidence in yourself and be happy with everything you have.

You may think you are in competition with all of the females around you when in all actuality you are in competition with loving yourself. Find yourself, love yourself and be who you really are. You are always going to have insecurities because everyone does but do not let them bring you down, let your true beauty radiate the people around you because there will always be someone you think is prettier than you but no matter what you must learn to love and be content with what you have.

Us girls have to stick together, we have to have each others backs and never let boys especially drive wedges in between friendships, so stop competing with your girls and stop feeling like you are less of that independent beautiful girl in the group and become her. Love yourself, because I promise you are going to have a lot more fun once you drop out of the competition.

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.
