To The Person Who Made Me Feel Like I Was Never Good Enough

Have you ever felt trapped for so long until one day you woke up and realized you were never going to be good enough for someone? Maybe there is someone in your life; a parent, boyfriend/girlfriend, coach, director, friend that you tried really hard to please. So hard that you loose yourself, values, and beliefs in the process. There were probably times when you did everything for that person, worked hard, stayed loyal to them, but they constantly made you feel as though you were never good enough to them. That person made you feel used, manipulated, hurt, or like you should just give up.

There are people that don't truly care about others, so they use them and kill their confidence. They make people feel like they will never be good enough to please anyone unless they change themselves. Then they turn people into what they want, but if people refuse to be changed, they are still used and manipulated. They will make you feel like no one else will accept you like they do so you shouldn't try to put yourself out there. I once felt like I wasn't good enough for someone until I stepped away and surrounded myself with people who saw what I was capable of. In order to bring your confidence up, you have to surround yourself with the people who make you realize that you are not being treated as well as you should be.

In order to bring your confidence up, realizing you will never be good enough and cutting this person out of your life is the first step. Never being good enough for someone is not your loss it's theirs. When they see someone else has realized what you are capable of and gave you what you deserve, that's when they realized what they lost. There are people who have "favorites" or make other people feel bad to make themselves feel good. You are perfect in your own way and just because one person doesn't see that just means a better person will. When someone stabs you in the back, use the knife to cut your ties with that person and move on. You are and always will be good enough, don't let anyone else make you feel differently.

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.
