Aw, thank you! :)
Beauty is confidence. I dare you all to post a picture of yourself. Take a good look at yourself and see how much of a lovely person you are. Realize the beauty in you that others see too.

Finals week!
It’s finally my final final’s week in college ever (hoho, see what I did there?)! So, as usual, I’ll be pretty busy studying cramming for my exams. Therefore, I won’t be able to get to any of your questions for awhile. Feel free to wait for my response or head over to the Affiliates page for a list of other advice blogs.
Good luck on your finals everyone!

Anonymous asked: i still like my ex. like a lot. and i might be in love with him. he still touches me like when we were together, but he doesn't act like he likes me.. i really want to be with him, but i don't know what to do. i don't want to get over him because he was different and was the best boyfriend/bestfriend i ever had.
Then you need to tell him this. If he doesn’t want to be with you anymore then he shouldn’t be touching you that way. You can tell him how that sends you conflicting/mixed feelings. So either he stops and you just be friends, or he wants something more. Don’t let him torture you. Don’t be afraid to tell him how you feel. It’s the only way to sort things out.
Anonymous asked: my best friend is starving herself. she only eats 500-800 calories a day and her BMI is 2 whole (units?) lower than its supposed to be. i can tell from what she posts on her blog but she writes not to talk about it.. what do ido?
You can offer her other dieting alternatives. Educate her that it’s not all about the calorie-counting as it is the quality of food you eat. Of course, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and oats are hearty, healthy foods that are also low in calories. Try to help her find that balance. 1000-1300 calories a day should be fine.
Check the How To’s Page if you want some dieting examples.
Anonymous asked: Please help me! My friend who has depression just told me she has been carrying pills with her and she has been tempted to use them and wants me to take them away from her. I don't know what the pills are but she obviously intends to hurt herself. I am so so so scared. She is undiagnosed and has not gone to professional help because it is too expensive. I don't know what to do! OF COURSE I will take the pills from her, but who should I tell? I didn't know she was suicidal, she needs help now :(
You don’t need to go to some expensive professional. Tell your guidance counselor in school, a teacher, and/or a parent. They are more than prepared to handle situations like these. It is extremely important to let higher authorities know about the situation. The fact that she told you and even asked you to take the pills away from you is her directly asking for help. She may not have the courage to seek help from counselors and parents, which is exactly why she is asking you to be the strong one for her.
Anonymous asked: i am the one in love with her bestfriend of two years. how do you suggest i go about telling him since he is not all that open towards me, or anyone, with his feelings. i love him to bits but just afraid of what could happen if i were to tell him like i did before because it took time to fix our friendship after that. his girlfriend found out and wouldnt let him talk to me among other things.
Is he still with his girlfriend? If he is, I wouldn’t try to say anything because it may make things worse, and the last thing you want is to lose your best friend. Don’t forget, it’s not unreasonable for his girlfriend to be cautious of you especially if she knows you have feelings for him. Picture yourself in her position.
If he’s single, then I would suggest simply talking about it. After all, you are best friends right? You should be able to have a conversation. Even if he doesn’t seem very vocal about it, at least he knows how you feel. That’s important if you want things to change. Don’t be too offended if he doesn’t give you the same feedback - if he gives any at all. You said so yourself, he’s not one to open up about emotions. So just give it time and don’t pressure him. That will just push him away.
