Being a girl isn't always the easiest thing. We have to deal with so many things and sometimes life gets hard. In the midst of everything we have going on, we forget to remind ourselves of the things that are important. There's always things that all of us girls just need to hear sometimes. So, here are five things that every girl needs to be reminded of right now.
1. It's okay to not be okay
This is the most important one. Girls have so much pressure to be the best they can be and always be put together. But the truth is, it's okay to not be okay. Sometimes we girls just need to break down, get some ice cream, and lie in bed watching Netflix all day. We shouldn't always have to be put together all the time. It's important to know that it's okay to take a break and just...not be okay.
2. Have Confidence
Having confidence is key. I know we all have insecurities, and honestly, that's okay. Who doesn't? But portraying yourself as a confident, independent woman can make you not only feel better about yourself, but can also help you in your friendships, relationships, and career.
3. Always Forgive
Sometimes forgiving someone is the hardest thing to do. I think we can all agree that finding forgiveness in our hearts for the people that have wronged us is hard, but trust me, when you forgive someone it makes you such a stronger person. Not only stronger, but you become the bigger person. You may never forget what they did to you, but forgiving them will make you a better person in the end.
4. Let It Go
Trust me, this one is a hard one. Letting the past go can be one of the hardest things to do, but I promise you that whatever it is, letting it go can be so good for yourself. There's no changing the past, and accepting that will help you move on to bigger and better things. I'm a firm believer in 'everything happens for a reason,' and accepting the things that happen in your life and letting them go will make moving on easier and ultimately make you happy.
5. Always Be A Priority
When it comes to relationships and friendships, always be a priority. Don't let anyone take you for granted because you are important and don't deserve to be treated like you are less than you are. Feeling like you are the second choice in anything is one of the worst feelings ever. Always make sure your true friends, as well as your partners, put you first. This also goes both ways. Be a good friend and girlfriend, and make sure they feel like they are put first in your life. Don't let yourself forget who you are and how important you deserve to be treated.
