To The Girl Who’s Been Told She’s Never Enough

You are enough to God

To The Girl Who’s Been Told She’s Never Enough
Rene Syler

First off, you are God’s child so you are enough for him and his followers.

Second off, you have more potential and a bigger heart than the person who told you that does.

Third off, who cares what people think?

I know that it is hard for people to not care what others think of them. It took me a long time to think this way. I have been through multiple “relationships” that ended this way before I realized this. It’s never easy to block out someone’s thoughts about you, especially if you really like them.

This is an issue every girl faces in life and even older adults.

To the girl who’s been told she’s never enough, you ARE enough. It isn’t going to matter what people think of you when you go to heaven or get a job. God is going to think you are enough for him. Also when you get a job, you are going to be enough for the job because that is how you got it in the first place. Another thing is that you are enough for your friends and your family members and that’s all that really matters. You do not need a man in your life to be happy.

That also took me time to figure out.

A lot of the things I am telling you about, takes time, efforts, and a support system. It helped me out a lot when I had at least one person to go to and talk about anything and everything with. She became my support system and I became hers. Also, my family members became my support system as well. It doesn’t matter who you pick to have that support system, but you at least need one to get through this. It definitely makes your life and self-esteem better.

You will always be enough in God’s eyes and in other people’s lives. If someone does not think you are good enough, then you need to kick them out of your life. They have a negative influence on your life and do NOT deserve your presence or time. Time is valuable and you should not waste it on dirt bags who think less of you.

NEVER settle for less!

We tend to do that when we get told we aren’t good enough and think that this is the only person who will care about us. In reality, there are plenty of people out there who think you are enough and that can treat you better. If your man doesn’t put in 100% like you do, leave him. He isn’t worth your time.

You have to be brave and stand up for yourself.

As Young M.A. would say, “These hates on my body shake ‘em off”. This girl has a point that we should follow and take seriously.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2049

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
