Do you consider yourself to be beautiful?

Dove did a study that found only 4% of women consider themselves beautiful, so that's about 280000000 million women that consider themselves beautiful out of 3 billion five hundred million.

So take that and look around you, there are people that walk past you every day that actually believe they look like trash. I don't know about you but this tears me apart, why is that everything we are is somehow not enough?

We need to lose more weight or put on some more makeup? No, we need to dye our hair so we can look like our favorite Instagram model or rapper right? Wrong the truth is the only person we need to look like is ourselves but society tells us otherwise.

At the beginning of time, God created the heavens and the earth, when he created man he created them to show his strength and when he created women, he created them to show his beauty so how is it we've found ourselves so far from who God created us to be? Take a moment to really ask yourself if you consider yourself to be beautiful. Once you come back I am here to tell you that you are beautiful and that there is no social media platform or person that determines that, social media plays a big part in our lives.

But I find that our (my) biggest we mistake is that we place our value in everything but the lord. Girls if your reading this know that you are the most beautiful creations God has placed on this earth so live like it, and I get that its summertime but just because it's summertime doesn't mean you need to post your body on social media to prove self-value, know that you are so much more than that.

There are so many things that the enemy uses to steal our confidence. But know in those moments of you (me) feeling down that just because you (I) feel like this doesn't make it true, the lie that (I) your worthless the lie that your just not enough is so far from the truth.

"We were hurt people hurting people " so spread the love, Jealousy is one of the most toxic things that can come into your heart so take some time out of your day to remind someone else how beautiful they are, it's just not said enough, We live in such a beautiful world let's act like it.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
