To The Girl Who Is "Too Much"

If you were told you're "too much" of something.

Do not apologize. Don't say sorry for being too open, too forgiving, or "too" anything, really. The only problem with having too much patience or being too sensitive is that society doesn't know to cope with your excess. But that is not your fault so don't apologize. People are scared of being less than what they should be so as a result, they will shame you for being too much of something. Stand your ground because saying sorry doesn't change a predetermined opinion.

Do not question yourself. Don't wonder how you would be different if it wasn't for this or that. You are you because there is no one else in the world who could handle the challenge of being you. Wishing to be someone else or have the personality of another isn't a wish that you want to come true. You are loved and cherished by those around you because you are unique. Do you think it would be just as fun to have two of the same person? No, and that's why you are you and I am me.

Do not doubt your purpose. You are here to bring smiles to sad faces, love to empty hearts, and quality to the lives of many. Your purpose is not something to mess with, it is the reason you are where you are and the reason why you encounter the people you do. Enlarge your purpose. Make it as big and bountiful as you can, let your purpose speak across the world and let the magic of you work on those who it was meant to work on.

Do not change. Being different isn't a bad thing, so why do you feel like it is? Only because people all your life told you that you are too accommodating, too much of a romantic, you dream too much. So, in turn, you've felt the need to suppress all of the qualities that make you you. No matter if you cry in public a little less or stop trusting those who aren't close enough, you won't achieve the change that others expect of you. Even if you did though, it would never be enough and there will always be another thing they're saying you need to change. How much can you change before you disappear into the world?

Do not be afraid. Why worry? Why worry about the people who don't appreciate you as you are? You are too concerned with convincing people that you are worthy of love or acceptance and that's a hamster wheel you don't want to run on. You will always be too much of something and that is my favorite quality of yours. You are too happy, too sweet, and too funny sometimes. Don't stress over the people who tell you being too much of anything is a bad thing. Don't listen to them and continue to be too much because being too little isn't as much fun anyways.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
