You Are Worth More

"Your worth does not diminish based on whether or not someone likes you."

You Are Worth More
Chobir Dokon

Hey little soul,

You have been broken and knocked down. You have given more of yourself to people than they deserve. You have let your heart be trampled on by those who had no right to hold it. You have determined your worth based on what other people think of you or what you think other people think of you. You think that because have been hurt and abused, that you deserved it and that somehow it was your fault. You think that because you have not received the right kind of love that you are unworthy of it. Your heart aches to be desired, to be chased after, for adventure, and for a deep love. You pursue other things, other people, trying to satisfy a heart that moans. You have sought after the love you so desperately desire but your heart has been scarred from giving it to the wrong people. You believe that you are worthless and it doesn’t matter what you do.

I have some news for you.

YOU ARE WORTH MORE.

You are worth more than a friend who wasn’t as good of a friend as you thought. You are worth more than parents or grandparents who seem to never understand or accept you. You are worth more than a reckless boy who has no care for what he does with your heart.

You are worth so much more than what other people think of you.

You DESERVE more.

You deserve people who truly care about you and protect your heart as their own You deserve to have adventure and be pursued by someone who loves you not in spite of your flaws, but because of them.

Your worth does not diminish based on whether or not someone likes you. Your worth is not defined how many friends you have, your family, whether or not you have a girlfriend or boyfriend, what your grades are, or what you look like. Your with is determined solely by you, and you have to know what you are worth. You are worth a million diamonds, a million fields of roses, a million twinkly stars in the sky, and a million romantic songs wrote just for you. You might now believe me, but it is so so so so true. You are worth more than you could ever imagine and you have to know that!

You are passionately loved by the Creator of the Universe,

You are His prized possession.

You are His crowning jewel and glory.

It hurts Him to see you throwing your heart around when He is always right there beside you.

He always has an unending amount of love that never fails, unlike humans.

You are worth more. You are loved passionately. You deserve more.

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.
