#It Goes A Long Way

Remember a long time ago I said that there's a list of things I don't like, but it's not very long??

Well you get to know one other thing on my list of things! Lucky you!

Girls who don't feel worth it.

I would be so hypocritical if I sat here and preached about every person is fantastic and beautiful in their own way we should all feel special 100% of the time blah blah blah....

I've been there. Some days I'm still there. Most days have at least a moment or two or three or sixty seven.

It's not your fault. It's hard to feel worth it. It's hard to look around you at the people surrounding you and not compare yourself to them. It's hard to look in the mirror and tell yourself you are beautiful. You are smart. You are funny. You have so much to offer someone. 

But you have to look beyond having so much to offer someone else to see you have so much to offer yourself. You have the ability, and the resources to build your own life, your own image, your own legacy. You are a person. You are not an extension of someone else. 

We live in a society where it's frowned upon to tell people how great you are. But the fact is: YOU ARE! You are amazing. You are so unique and special. You aren't perfect, but nobody is. You do not need a boy to tell you you're pretty. You do not need someone else to complete you. 

To every girl who reads this, you are so worth it. SO worth it. Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. Be your own woman. Be smart and funny and compassionate and beautiful. Because you are. 

So smile. Because you're worth it.
