Broken girl..

Broken girl..

I know it feels like the world continues to run you over. When you think it can't get any worse it does. Those days eventually will cease, and the light will begin to show itself again.

Broken girl.. I know how bad some days you want to give up. You continuously debate on if being this broken is even worth staying here sometimes. You practically scream our for help.. yet no one hears you. You choose to stay, because something in your conscious tells you there is more to your story. You lose sight of all the good you have done in your life. All the smiles you have given people. The slightest difference you have made in so many peoples lives. You are so loved, even when you don't realize it.

Broken girl.. I know your whole life you have been told you were hard to love. Your dad leaving you shattered first. Dating boys who didn't understand you or see your worth. Taking more and more of you piece by piece. You continue to chase this idea of what you think is 'love' as it continues to rip you apart. Until one day you realize loving yourself is more important.

Broken girl.. I see you working hard, getting better, choosing self care, and repairing all the parts others have broken of you. It's hard as hell. But you're doing it well. You look in the mirror seeing progress. You smile because you never thought you would start to feel normal.

Broken girl.. you learned to love yourself. Placing each piece back carefully so you seem a lot more together than you actually are. It's an art really. You're finally happy. You're finally getting where you want to be.

Broken girl.. your truest friends are your soulmates. You know the ones I'm talking about. They root for you in your success. They encourage you to continue on this positive road because they believe in you so much. But they also wipe away your tears when all you want to do is shatter again. They remind you giving up is no option. They help hold the bond together. Their love for you in genuine.

Broken girl.. you have learned to love yourself. You have learned that being broken is okay. That this is apart of your story. This is YOU. You view life differently. The light in your life is becoming more apparent. You have learned so much about yourself when you chose to focus on you. Life becomes enjoyable.

Broken girl.. unexpectedly now you have met someone. A man. One that you thought only existed in movies or fairytales. One that chooses the broken girl, because he sees the potential in you. He loves every broken piece, and never intends to break the progress you have pieced together. He shows you love, they way you should be loved.

Broken girl.. you will be whole again. Years from now, you will know the exact moment that last piece will fit perfectly and your life will all make sense. You are everything they told you that you weren't. You are now whole.

To all the broken girls. Here's the hope you were looking for today,

Xoxo ❤️

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
