To Those Who Feel Unlovable: STOP.
http://www.sebascelis.com

To those who feel unlovable,

Somebody brought you down so far that you can’t remember what it’s like to feel loved. Maybe it was a long-time lover, a one-night stand, or even yourself. You look in the mirror and see something that doesn’t deserve love, let alone will find it again through someone else or through self-love.

STOP. Realize that love isn’t something that everybody can give you, even though they should. Realize there are people out there that will make you feel so great and then so shitty during the span of days or months. You’ll be driven against their harsh words, but eventually you will give in and believe the words they say. STOP. Words are just words and you shouldn’t let a few letters ruin your day or life.

Ugly. Stupid. Loser. Fat. Anorexic. Gullible. These are all words somebody might have said to you. And in what justice do they have to say that? Can people prove half of what they say? No, so stop giving somebody the power do so.

You are beautiful. It doesn’t matter what others say or what you think. Beauty is such a stereotypical synonym for perfection today, and in that case, nobody is perfect anyways. Beauty is accepting your flaws as perfections and forgetting those who don’t do or believe the same.

STOP beating yourself up for some things you can’t fix about yourself. Your hair. Your face. Your brain. You were born this way. To those who couldn’t accept you as is, they weren’t your time in the first place. Find those who love you for you even if you have to go through a few flukes and mistakes

Love wasn’t meant to be easy and it shouldn’t be. If it drags you through hell and back, show hell you can take the heat. Words and hurt can’t shake you because only you can decide your fate.

STOP crying and live. Look in the mirror and realize that nobody in the world is exactly like you and being you is a gift. Don’t let somebody who tries to reject and not return the gift of your love have your love anymore. GO and be brave.

To those who feel unlovable, you are lovable, and you do not deserve damn less.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
