You Are Good Enough For Whatever It Is That You Want

So what if you weren't the first pick?

8

So she didn’t choose you?

Alright, that entire statement is horrendous in the first place; why are you even losing any sleep over another human being that had more than one choice? Always hold yourself up to a standard that you are not a choice. Your first mistake was even thinking that you were an option because I’m going to be honest, you aren’t.

You knew what you wanted, you didn’t need any other option than the only option, and that was the one human being that you wanted. Some people are lucky; they end up with the person who loves them just as much as they love them. Those are the people you look up too.

After going through everything, realizing you aren’t an option, you do some soul searching, you do some screwing around, you spend too much money at the bar, and you stay up way too late with people you don’t even know. All for the fact of feeling something other then what you are actually feeling. We have all gone through it and it is completely okay, because once you get to the step of actually acknowledging the fact that you are worth so much more, you are very attractive, and you have a bright-ass future ahead of you, then you start to fall back in love with yourself and the life that you are living. That is what matters the most.

So stop thinking about it in the sense of you weren’t picked, or it wasn’t the right time, or that it just didn’t happen because of some odd alien explosion on a different planet. You were good enough, and you still are good enough, just maybe not right now and maybe there is someone way better out there that is just waiting for you to stroll along their path. So until that day happens, keep on doing what you are doing, keep staying out late with a heavy bar tab, keep waking up early the next day, fall in love with your life, fall in love with your friends, and fall in love with the process.

Believe in the process, believe in the path you are on. It always gets better, no matter what happens.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
