To The Girl Who's Struggling To Love Herself

To the girl who compares herself constantly to others.

To the girl who struggles to get by every single day. The one who avoids looking in the mirror when she would only see that she's not good enough, pretty enough, anything that one can think. To the girl who compares herself constantly to others.

It's hard to accept yourself, not just certain parts of you, but every square inch of you; inside and out. No matter what, you should always know that there are people who accept you for yourself and love you deeply, think the world of you, admire you and cares about you. It's hard in this generation because so many people just care about the likes on a post, how many retweets you have or reposts. Some see these as worth or acceptance of being "perfect". This is not something to try to live up to every single day.

To the girl who struggles to love herself, there's no magic wand that someone can do to get rid of the hurt, pain, or to just tell yourself to love yourself. But there are so many people who understand,

I'm going to tell you that you are understood. I understand what it feels like to not want to get out of bed because you wonder the point in that. You don't want to face people today because you feel too ashamed. To have that constant thought in your mind of what people may be saying about you, judging you, but ultimately being your own worst bully. I am here to tell you that its okay, its okay to not be 100% in love with yourself, and if you did, you wouldn't be human. It's natural to have insecurities, have regrets and doubts. But its what you do with them that will determine your fate.

You are beyond special, people are so different and it's such a good thing because everyone brings something to this world and only you can bring what you have, no one else.

You are caring. You have a huge heart for others, and others see that! It's time for you to start too as well! You put others' needs before your own, and it comes from the goodness of your heart; never lose that quality. I promise you'll move mountains.

You are worthy of happiness. You deserve to be happy, the best kind of happiness you can find. You're an amazing person with a great personality. You put the happiness of others before your own. Well, that is okay, but you need to make sure you are happy too first and foremost.

You are Beautiful. You are fearlessly and wonderfully made. You are stunning, and every unique thing about you shines from the inside out! You are, right now, at this moment, the best thing you could ever be in this world, and that is you.

You may have awful thoughts about yourself, but you are worth so much more than those thoughts, it's a constant battle to work on self-love but never doubt yourself. You are capable of moving mountains.

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.
