To The Girl Who Is Perfectly Imperfect

You have become the woman many have crafted you to be.

To The Girl Who Is Perfectly Imperfect
Savannah Russell

You have struggled your whole life with self-image issues. You don't see how perfectly imperfect you are, my dear. Your flaws are what makes you beautiful and unique. They show the hardship you've endured and they may not be the things you define as beautiful, but to your loved ones they are what makes you... you! Beauty is not just skin deep it goes beyond that.

Your heart shows your true colors. You have become the woman many have crafted you to be. Your parents, siblings, grandparents, ex-friends, ex-boyfriends, current friends and boyfriend, and many others who were just passing through. They may not have realized then what they were doing, but through every heartbreak, hardship, adventure, laughs, tears, and gestures of affection, they shaped you.

They prepared you to be this woman; this perfectly imperfect woman many look up to. You have been guided to live this journey called life. Your worth is not defined by others, my dear. Your worth is truly defined by how you love and see yourself.

How you feel about yourself at the end of the day when you glance in the mirror. That woman. You are beautiful beyond comparison, smart, kind-hearted, and just liked those who shaped you, you have shaped others. You are the best version of yourself and it can only go uphill from here. So keep your chin up darling. Don't be ashamed of that woman in the mirror.

Every smile, loud laugh, and maybe even your breakdowns, someone loves you for all of you. Maybe just maybe someone fell in love with one or all of those things. "She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future."

Sincerely,

Another Perfectly Imperfect Woman

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.
