Just A Reminder

No one is you and that is your superpower.

I want for all of us in this world to truly live each day and truly love each day. This world has so much to offer us, day in and day out, no matter where you are or who you are. I want you to make this day yours. I want you to make this life yours. I want you to feel loved, and to know love from the most important person in the world, yourself. I want you to know that you are perfect, just as you are. You are going to be okay, everything is going to be okay.

You don’t have to try so hard to meet “standards” or to prove who you are. You just have to be. I want you to follow your heart and do what you want. I want you to listen to yourself. I want you to push past your limiting thoughts and your fears. I want you to be confident in who you are. You don’t need to look a certain way, or eat a certain way, or act a certain way. You don’t have to agree with everyone. You don’t have to disagree with everyone. You can be whatever you want to be. You get to create it.

I want you to dream big and live big. I want you to find the balance between pushing yourself and being compassionate with yourself without forgetting to enjoy it all. It doesn’t matter what your circumstances are, who you are, where you are, or what is happening in your life. You get to choose your thoughts. You get to choose your actions. You get to choose who you are for yourself and who you are for the world.

I believe that we are all just figuring it out the best we can. Be who you are. Love who you are. Live your life. Love your life. Do you.

We are all human. We spill things on our shirt. We get pimples here and there. We make mistakes. We say the wrong things or weird things and everyone is so worried about what the person sitting next to them thinks, even though they will probably never see them again.

Why stress? Do you. Be you. Be happy. You have to learn to love yourself enough to not tolerate disrespect, disloyalty, and wishy washy feelings. Surround yourself with people who value who you are as a person. If a person doesn't value you, move on. You are not obligated to hold down any person who constantly holds you back. That isn't loyalty, that's stupidity. When you seek fulfillment in others you end up lost when they leave. It's important that you know yourself before getting involved with someone else.

Remember that you were created in God's image, you were designed to be different from everyone else. Do not compare yourself to anyone.

You're beautiful. You're one of a kind.

No one is you and that is your superpower.

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.

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.
