5 things to write on your mirror, right now

 

Check these out, too...

  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • Get your draw on with the prettiest coloring book of the season
  • YOLO or "Oh, no"? When taking a risk is the right thing to do
  • Get those bullies out of your head: Tune out the torturers
  • 10-minute DIYs to dress up your bedroom
Those days when you just feel down are no match for you anymore, chica.  We’ve come up with the perfect sayings to get you cheered up and ready to take on anything. Watch out, Valentine’s Day!


The only opinion that matters is your own.

Nobody should have the power to negatively affect how you think of yourself.  Once you know that you’re beautiful and know just how fantastically worthy of all that you want you are, everything becomes available. Who cares what that jealous girl thinks when you’ve got your own back?

Fake it ‘til ya make it.
Your confidence doesn’t come from your physical appearance of validation of those features. It may seem like it when you see pretty girls who just stand out as being sure of themselves. But, it isn’t based off of them being “pretty.”  Oddly enough, it radiates from within.  As soon as you’ve got it set in your head that you’re gonna’ go out and rock it, you’ll get that fantastic aura.  Next thing you know, you’ll be that oh-so confident girl that everyone else admires.

Try and succeed or try and fail. Either way, you win.

If things don’t go your way, then you leave with a life lesson.  Sometimes not getting what you want leaves you better off in the end, and the feeling of never knowing what could have happened can sting you more than avoiding the 5-percent chance of it all ending poorly.

Anything is possible
Often it becomes too easy to take yourself out of the game when you’re worried about how it may end up.  You can be so close to getting what you want and then poof! You get a mixed signal from a boy you like or a predicted storm on a day of your best friend’s birthday party.  Wait it out, things work out right when given time.
 
To do: Be happy!

It’s easy to get caught up in specifics.  Specifics can fall in and out of place too easily.  Make your goal to be happy. When your goal is simple, and all you want is to be happy, it’s more difficult to let little things get you down.

ModModModMod-
So I'm a writer and I want to submit my work to different places. I know gl accepts writing but when I try it never posts mine, is gl accepting other valentines day related writing that arent letters? Are there other ways to post my poetry other places? Thank you!!(:




Hey girlie,

GL always loves to get submissions from our readers! We can't guarantee we'll post them though - I'm sure you're an awesome writer, but we have a lot of other girls submitting stuff too. So unfortunately, we can't post everything! Keep trying though! Poetry, letters, short stories - you name it, we've posted it in the past. <3

I love this! I have a huge volleyball game comming up soon,and I have a tendency to make myself play worse when I make one little mistake, because I'm so upset. This def makes sense.

what is the average range of weight for a 12 year old. im just wondering. thanks
!




Hey girlie,

Your "healthy" weight actually doesn't depend on your age - it depends on your height! If you have any questions or concerns about weight, definitely ask your doctor. He/she is a professional and the only person qualified to tell you what weight range you should be in <3
