Here's A Reminder To You And Everyone Else In Your Life: You Are Priceless And Cannot Be Replaced

You walk up to the full-length mirror. You stand there and look at your reflection. The images of what you see on the television screen and in the magazines run through your mind. You start to pick at every flaw. Too tall, too short, too thin, too big. My ears stick out, I don't have long enough legs, I don't have a six-pack and I have acne on my face. The list goes on and on.

In today's society, we are pressured to look a certain way. It's hard to ignore the 'ideal image' that is around us. We always compare ourselves to one another along with the people that we see on the television screen and in pictures. I'm not trying to knock down anyone who looks like this in any way. I just want to say that no one should have to strive to look a certain way because of what society has told us how we should look. We should not be putting one image above the rest and saying that it's better than every other image out there.

God made each and every one of us differently for a reason. If we all looked and acted like one another, then it would be really boring.

Today, I want to tell whoever is reading this, that you are priceless. No one can ever replace you because God only made one you. No matter what you have heard or what you have seen, I want to tell you today, that you have so much worth. You are worth more than all the money in the world. Don't you forget that. I even have to remind myself sometimes of my worth, and not to compare myself to others because I'm just as guilty as any of us.

You are priceless.

You are irreplaceable.

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.
