Beauty In Us

Even if it takes us time to find it, we will get there.

Beauty In Us
The Daily Quotes

This goes out not only to the lovely beautiful ladies around me but to my beautiful peers who are doubting themselves at this moment. Whether it's because of a boy, parents, school, anything. Remember that we are all here for a reason even if we haven't found that reason yet. I know it all sounds cliche, but its true. We are all going through things that make us doubt ourselves, which is the best time to look back and think about everything that makes us great. We are all people with flaws and no one is perfect. Embrace that scar, love your uneven skin. Don't worry about that thigh gap that every girl wants.

We ladies as a whole are so caught up with the crap that society fills our heads with--like a certain body shape we should have, the certain weight we should be at, the perfect facial structure we should, or even what kind of clothes we should wear. All this makes us believe that we should all achieve the same standards, but how does that make sense when we are all different? Our individuality is what makes us unique so be a plus size and embrace it. So what if you don't have a defined cheek bone, or if your thighs rub against each other? These features make who you are.

To the ladies out there who feel like their world is going to end after a relationship. Remember something: a man who loves you wouldn't put you in a position to hurt. They obviously don't consider your emotions and what you're feeling. The feeling of hurt is temporary and you'll be fine as time passes. I'm not saying this just to make you feel better, I say this because I've lived through it. The aching pain in your heart, the late night cries, the anger felt that comes along with self-doubt and reminiscing of the beautiful moments that were shared. Been through it all; it takes patience and time but I believe it's worth being alone. It gives you time to learn things about yourself and it also shows the true colors of that one person you were with. Sometimes we are better without them. It opens up doors to new opportunities and think of it this way, at one point you didn't know them and you were still living, and if you did it then you can do it now. I know this rule only applies to a certain extent, but what I'm trying to say is you're going to be okay, and in the mean time embrace your company and look toward what is ahead of you. Let go of the past and live in the moment.

And remember ladies, we all have a purpose in this world. Even if it takes us time to find it, we will get there and when we do, none of this is going to matter anymore and we can finally say we found our worth.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
