You Are Worth So Much

Believing the boy who told me I was worthless was the dumbest thing I have ever done.

You Are Worth So Much
Ally Reese

I’m sure you’ve all heard “Fall Apart” by Post. If you haven’t, you should.

“She told me that I’m not enough”

First off, this lyric hits harder than any other word he’s spit. Because there’s a good chance we have ALL been told this by a man who puts himself on a pedestal that is way to high. And as a woman, I’m speaking for us as a whole: you are more than enough, you will always be enough. And if he’s telling you that you aren’t, just know that you were plenty, he just wasn’t the right man.

I see all over the internet people tweeting things like “screw the person who makes you feel like Posts song ‘Fall Apart’” and I’ve never related to something so well.

Because they’re right. SCREW the person who made you feel worthless.

Forget the man that looked you in the eyes and stressed you weren’t enough.

Forget the man that made you feel small.

Forget the man that told you he loved you, then completely made you feel otherwise.

BUT

Remember the man that DIED for you because you are who He loves and continuously will love. (1 John 3:16)

Remember the Man who loved you at your darkest. (Romans 5:8)

Remember the man who will NEVER abandon you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

You are worth a man loving you, the right man. You are worth the love God will unconditionally always have for you. You are worth being forgiven and loved. You are worth grace and mercy. You are worth more than the words a man told you because he felt the need to belittle you while building himself up.

If you’ve ever been told you were not enough, and believed it, I’m so sorry. Because I believed the boy who told me I wasn’t enough, and it’s the dumbes thing I ever did. But it’s time we realize who’s opinion matters and who’s love counts, because above all else Gods love reigns. And it always will.

“For the battle is not yours, it is God’s.” 2 Chronicals 20:15

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.
