Very so often we worry too much about what about what people think or how they feel about us. We need to learn to recognize that we are who we are and everybody else just has to respect that. Here are few things you should never have to apologize for:


1. For Saying "NO"

And not having to explain yourself!


2. For Being Who You Are

Diversity is a beautiful thing. Once you learn to love what makes you different, and totally owning it, you have nothing to apologize for!


3. For Having An Opinion

Whether the majority of people agree with you or not, kudos to you for standing your grounds!


4. For Having High Standards

And don't let anyone make you believe that your standards are too high; if they want to get on your level, they'll have to climb!


5. For Your Body

Because in all it's flaws and all it's glory, it's yours and you love it!


6. For Standing Up For Yourself


7. For Killing it At School and/or Work

You never have to apologize for your success and never let anyone hold you back!

8. For Expressing Your Emotions

Because we're all human and we all have those moments.

9. For Cutting-off Negative People

If something isn't good for you, let it go! You owe no apologies for brightening up your life and moving forward!


10. For Asking For Help

Because if you're too full of pride to ask for help when you need it, your growth is stalled and so you should never have to apologize for not knowing everything!


11. For Your Confidence!

Because only you know how hard it has taken you to get this far in standing tall and believing in yourself. If someone decides to take your self-pride and confidence as aggression, let it be their problem!

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.
