What other's think about you is...

When I was younger I will admit that I always wanted to be liked by everyone and I truly valued what other’s thought about me besides what I truly thought about myself. I would also like to admit that I was an outcast who never truly fit in growing up, I always felt so devalued as person because I cared so much about what other’s thought about me, I carried that same thought process even after I graduated High school when I took on my first job at McDonald's and I experienced bullying to the fullest because I was soft spoken, timid, and I never spoke up for myself and I was called so many names that I would rather not repeat anymore in the present. I also encounter harsh treatment at my second job at Starbucks by my co-workers as well. I just wasn’t catching a break was I? Clearly not, everything changed in my life for the better when someone at my job repeated to me “So and so said this about you behind your back.” I got fed up with the immaturity and I snapped back and said “Good, I’m OK with that they’re behind me for a reason.” I realized that day not everyone is going to like you and that’s OK, and I am not going to always like everyone I meet. I also questioned myself if they talk about you in a negative way how does that affect me? Am I broke? Hungry? Have I lost my mind? Actually no I’m OK. So, your negative opinion about me is truly none of my business. Why should I care? Be aware when others are rude and try to diminish your character that’s on them and you can’t change that. Remember What others think about you is none of your business life will get easier for you and slowly you will gain your confidence keep your head up, and continue to find ways to empower yourself. One day you will walk in a room and you won’t fear if the people in there will like you or not, you would not care you’d be too worried on whether or not you’d like those people or not.

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.
