Oh, Is It Easy

But it is not your fault.

Oh, Is It Easy
Hayley White

Oh, is it easy to feel like the girl everybody gives up on. It is easy to feel not good enough. It is easy to let the opinions of others defy you. It is easy to feel like you do everything wrong. It is easy to feel like it is all your fault. It is easy to “see” why everyone gives up on you.

But, sweet girl, do not let these feelings take over you.

These terrible things, they are not true. Those who decide to give up on you have lost something so immensely beautiful and pure. They have lost something so dear and special, something so unique and wonderful. You are a masterpiece, crafted ever so precisely. Nothing about you is a mistake, nothing about you is wrong. You were built so perfectly in the eyes of God. You are not what those people define you as.

Those who left were simply unable to hold something so precious. They were not worthy. You are a gift, a queen. No one should treat you as anything less. If they do, it is because they are too naive to realize what they have in front of them; and what they have is a strong woman, an unbreakable spirit. A girl who dreams of adventures and experiences.

You are young with the world in your hands, opportunities in your grasp. Do not let those who do not know your worth hold you back from greatness. You are more than what they have made you out to be. You are a force to be reckoned with, a statue of survival. You are incredible, sweet girl. If someone leaves, it is not your fault. It is theirs and they have made a terrible mistake. You may not see it, and they may not see it, but time will prove it. Shake the negativity from your mind, release it from your soul. This beautiful world was created for girls like you. Girls with dreams in their eyes and love in their hearts. Do not waste it on those who are unworthy of it. Do not force it onto those who are unworthy of it.

Focus on yourself, sweet girl. Learn to love your own soul first before you strive to love someone else’s. You know your worth, your mind, your soul. Love yourself. It is not your fault that people leave. It is not your fault that people give up. Do not let your heart be burdened by the mistakes of others. Do not let your soul be devastated by the words of others. You are more than good enough. You are more than the mistakes you've made, the wrongs you've done. You are good, whole, unique. You are created precisely the way you are meant to be.

Love yourself, and most importantly, never give up on yourself.

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.

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.
