Women Are Gifts
Vanity Fair

Women. There was a reason that they were created. Women. In so many ways are a blessing and are very much so needed in this world. They are charismatic and intelligent upon exiting the womb. It's like they were born smart. It seems that since the beginning of time, women were always set on a back burner, with very little opinion and voice. It was common that most women were stay-at-home moms and did most of the cooking and cleaning. After all, it was said that was all they were good for, according to men back then.

Throughout time we've begun to notice the wonders that women can offer. The intellectual beauty and originality that surrounds them. The empowerment we've witnessed. For example, Michelle Obama. I mean, can you say beautiful, intelligent, and powerful? A perfect role model for women. She does what she can to empower women and spark confidence in others. Beyoncé, a world-known musician, her music alone is a statement. My mom, grandmother, great-grandmother. Powerful. They paved the way for me and groomed me to become the woman I'm becoming.

Women. They were blessed with the ability to bear life. A gift. A life. Women are also able to love and care deeply. It seems as though a woman is programmed to have deeper feelings than those of a male. I feel as though a woman is at her best when she is confident and comfortable with herself. When her self-esteem is at its peak. Although some women have insecurities and flaws, I believe that is what makes a woman human and relatable. No woman is perfect but her imperfections are what make her true.

Women. We don't give many of them enough credit. Beautiful and intelligent, they are in control and upcoming. They're making a bold statement and are continuing to contribute to our world with endless ideas. My challenge to you is to try to imagine a world without women. You can't because there wouldn't be one.

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.
