You're Perfect

You're perfectly made, please don't hate yourself.

You're Perfect

When you look in the mirror I know it can be hard to love everything about yourself. Especially when it comes to the blemishes on your face, the splits in your hair, and the cracks in your lips. However I can not express this enough, you're perfect.

When we think of the world's view on ideal beauty what do you usually think? I would like to assume that you think the same way that I do. I think of a tall, skinny, tan, flawless person. Someone who can take a picture effortlessly, or have someone take a picture of them and have not a single line on their face when they smile. Why do we instantly think of someone like that? Well simply it's our media. From magazines, to Instagram, to television. We are forced to live up to these beauty expectations which make us insecure when we feel as though our looks aren't good enough.

The media has created such a huge standard for female or even male beauty. When we have the want to look like these people that is when the next time you look at yourself in the mirror, you see more flaws than you have before. You start to compare yourself to these idols, and you begin to realize that you look nothing like them. But that is okay because you are so much more.

You're so special, and so beautiful. You have so much worth! You are perfectly made, everything about you is truly amazing. You don't have to live up to the media's expectations of beauty because you are beautiful. Your personality, smile, and character have so much radiance that shows both on the inside and the out. You're so amazing. Please don't take that for granted. You're perfect.

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.
