20 Quotes To Encourage You To Practice Self Love Every Day.

February might be the month of love and romance, but no one focuses on one of the most important relationships we have- the one with ourselves. It's pivotal to our wellbeing to have a strong sense of self worth and above all else, love who we are and the body we're in. I gathered a list of quotes that represent that mindset for you to pick and choose which ones to use and remind yourself how awesome you are.

1. "To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness."- Robert Morley

2. "You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody."- Maya Angelou

3. "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance."- Oscar Wilde

4. "Talk to yourself like someone you love."- Brené Brown

5. "Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself- what you're wearing, who you're around, what you're doing. Recreate and repeat."- Warsan Shire

6. "Your biggest commitment must always be to yourself."- Bridgett Devoue

7. "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."- Ralph Waldo Emerson

8. "You cannot control how others feel about you, you cannot control if other people like you, you can simply be the best version of yourself."- Alicia Menendez

9. "It's not your job to like me... it's mine."- Byron Katie

10. "Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions."- Pema Chodron 

11. "You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known- and even that is an understatement."- F. Scott Fitzgerald

12. "Loving yourself isn't vanity; it's sanity."- Katrina Mayer

13. "We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies."- Roderick Thorp

14. "Choose, everyday to forgive yourself. You are human, flawed, and most of all worthy of love."- Alison Malee

15. "Loving yourself starts with liking yourself, which starts with respecting yourself, which starts with thinking of yourself in positive ways."- Jerry Corstens

16. "You're always with yourself, so you might as well enjoy the company."- Diane Von Furstenberg

17. "Embrace the glorious mess you are."- Elizabeth Gilbert

18. "Love is the great miracle cure; loving ourselves works miracles in our lives."- Louise Hay

19. "The surest way to lose your self-worth is by trying to find it through the eyes of others."- Becca Lee

20. "Your body loves you. Your body works hard to keep you alive."- Lisa Consiglio Ryan

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
