Women, There Is No Such Thing As Perfection
Psychologies.co.uk

We like to ignore certain things and pretend that they don't exist. We ignore things like the booger hanging out of your friends nose. Sometimes we ignore the way people eat. One thing that people continuously try to ignore is their own bodies.

I've been having talks with my friends about how we look. I like to have these talks because I like to see how my friends view themselves and each other. From the time we are children in elementary school and for the rest of our lives, there will be somebody at every corner trying to tell you how to look. Some girls will say they need to be on a diet or over exercise because they are fat. Some will over eat, under eat, and even not eat anything at all to achieve the "perfect body." The most absurd thing I have ever heard in this world is having the perfect body. This is crazy and upsetting because their is no such thing, but in the back of our heads we think that there is. The girls who ignore how their bodies are, are no different from the girls who are obsessed with looking like something they are not. Reasons being is because even though you pretend to not care, deep down and from a far, at least once in your life you will idolize the way someone else looks. When in reality you should idolize the way you look because you are just as beautiful.

Females were meant to come in all shapes and sizes. Just like our hair color, our shoe sizes, and the way we talk will never be the same as one another. We were all bullied by the way we looked at some point. When I lived in Detroit they made fun of how skinny I was. Yet, that same girl that was saying I was too skinny was being told she was too fat. People tell you your butt is too little, too big and that you need boobs. Some females will enhance themselves and change their body features to be this "perfect" person. In the end, that will never be achieved because that female will always believe something needs to be changed.

Ladies please listen to me! Girls cry over what they want to be. Women embrace all that they are.

Be confident in your size and remember we are not Kim Kardashian's or Kylie Jenner's. We are who we are, perfect in every size.

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.
