To The Girl Who Settles For Less

You deserve the world, so go out and take it.

To The Girl Who Settles For Less

You deserve all the love in the world. Be confident enough in yourself to know that. I know it's hard, but learning to love yourself first will change your life.

Stop letting other people walk all over you. Your opinion is valued and welcome just as much as the opinions of others. Don't let them quiet your voice, not even for a second.

Don't go out with that boy just because he says you're pretty. Wait for someone who thinks the stars shine brighter when you're around. Have faith that he exists because when the time is right, he'll come and sweep you off your feet.

Remember that there are more good days than bad. For every tear you shed, there will be a hundred smiles to come. Don't think for a moment that you won't make it out of the darkness.

Be the girl who only sees the sunshine, who proudly wears rose-colored glasses. Even if it seems fake, smile more than you frown. Trust me, you'll be better for it.

Know the type person you want to be and go out and make yourself better. There is always room for change, even if it isn't exactly welcome. Sometimes it takes a little push to see your full potential.

Don't be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is an amazing thing, so don't underestimate it. Be sure of who you are and what you want, and take some time to be completely you.

Your presence means the world to the people who love you. Don't ever listen to the demons that tell you otherwise. If someone makes you feel unwanted, kick them to the curb; life is too short to be wasted on mean girls and selfish guys.

Find your passions and seek them unapologetically. The people who think you're crazy or weird are jealous that you found true happiness. Strive to be the best at doing what you love, and you'll find yourself in amazing places.

You are incredibly beautiful. When you realize that looks matter less than heart, you'll be thankful. Stop focusing on what you see in the mirror and start focusing on how you can share your beauty with others.

It's still cool to love your family. They have loved you for your entire life and will love you for the rest of it. Don't stop believing that they are the center of your world, because they should be.

Most of all, stop getting in the way of yourself. When you focus on what's to come as much as you focus on what is here, you'll realize that your life is amazing. Stop settling for less and be the girl that people can't help but admire.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
