You Say You Aren't Worth It. You're Wrong.

Cheese so hard you turn into a cheddar block.

I'm not worthy of any attention or conversation. People don't need to waste their energy on me. I'm not worth the love and support others show me. Working hard isn't worth it. Nothing is good enough anymore. I'm not worth it or good enough.

Yes, you are.

This stream of thoughts running through your head is a toxic mess that needs to be thrown out.

You are worth every compliment, every smile, and every hard-working hour. You're good enough for that promotion and for their love. You deserve every ounce of acceptance, genuine kindness, and happiness in this world.

Bad days can seriously tear us down and it's easy to get wrapped up in our own little ball of negativity seeing no light in the bleak mental mess we've gotten ourselves into. Put your arms out and grope blindly because it's time to reach out for some positivity in your life.

We don't get long on this planet, so it's about time we start showing up for ourselves and stop denying any positive emotion people throw our way. It should be considered a crime to throw out love or affection someone offers us because we don't feel deserving.

Don't let that mentality control your life. I may sound like a scratch on the world's most positive record, but I'm serious. Smile more. Love more. And be more in the moments of happiness and love instead of stuck in your head doubting all of it.

No one gives their love without thinking about it and cheerfulness and smiles are the world's best currency. Take it freely by the armload and use that to fuel you on.

We have enough negativity to last us a lifetime but we can never have enough support, encouragement, and love in our lives. I don't know what I would do without the people who cheer me on and accept me. Don't deny yourself that pleasure.

Everyone deserves a life full of aching cheeks from smiles that are too wide and full hearts that are ready to burst.

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.
