Wear Whatever You Want

Unless it's a see-through bra and underwear to the park with children present.

Wear Whatever You Want

Lately, I have been seeing articles floating around Facebook that have to do with telling women (and sometimes men) what to wear and what not to wear. These range from either saying over sized t-shirts and Nike shorts are ugly to wearing "respectable clothing".

Those articles are written to get a reaction out of the people in the title, and most of the time they do. You will most likely see comments that say something along the lines of "I can wear whatever I want!" Or "yeah! Stop wearing that!" While it's nice to see different perspectives, it's not always the best advice to actually follow (unless you REALLY want to).

Here's the thing, you can wear whatever the heck you want to wear. If you want to wear over sized t-shirts and Nike shorts for the rest of your life, DO IT. If you think that's ugly and you want to wear dressy pants and a blouse, DO IT. It really doesn't matter if people say your outfit choices are not good enough, because that person is not you. You do not need the approval of some stranger to wear what you want. Also, if you are the one saying that people should stop wearing something, maybe try and realize everyone is going to have a different sense fashion than you (and that's a-ok).

Now, if you read one of those "Girls, stop wearing __" articles and it really makes you think of your outfit choices, then go ahead and change. The great thing about outfits is that they are changeable. Your outfit choices do not make you a Good or bad person, they make you unique (even if everyone else is wearing it). Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable, that's the way to live life to the fullest. No one has time for someone else to tell them what to wear.

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.
