2. "They're scars for a reason, they don't hurt anymore, but they're there to remind you, of all the things you lived through, the moments that almost killed you, and the ones that made you who you are. Stay strong." — R.M. Drake

3. "She had such a beautiful mind. The kind of mind that sparked my dreams. The kind of mind that lead my inspiration, and it was the kind of inspiration that only the young at heart could imagine." — R.M. Drake

4. "If you tell me we are impossible to be together then I will do the impossible to prove you wrong." — R.M. Drake

5. "And some will break you, some will destroy you, and some will even end you. And still, you will love the next as if you've never been hurt. And that's what makes you,despite the bullshit people bring, you mile as if nothing has ever happened. And that's why I love you and I hope you never change, not for no one, not for me." — R.M. Drake

7. "Your strange ways attract me in ways I strangely can't understand." — R.M. Drake

8. "Beautiful girl, the peace you've been searching for can be found in your heart. So let it break, let it fall, for underneath those untamed forces you will find your love. Your ultimate silence, a truth the world will always be too afraid to hear." — R.M. Drake

9. "Find someone who is worth taking you away from the reality you have built, and become someone who will inspire other to design a reality worth building." — R.M. Drake

10. "If it is yours, then go get it. Get it while you still can, while you are sane enough to remember, why it is so important to begin with. We have lost too many days chasing the wrong things. We have burned the inspiration on all the wrong things. Today is the day to make things right. Today is what we have left. Today everything can be yours." R.M. Drake

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen?
