A little Me, A little You.

I wonder every day who you would've been. What you would've looked like.

A little Me, A little You.

I couldn't feel you, but I knew you were there. Brewing inside me. Becoming something, someone. I shut down. I didn't even know I could do that. I played the whole thing out wrong. I should've told someone about you before it was too late.

I wasn't ashamed, but just scared. Scared you'd be real. Something I would have to love so intensely. Something I knew could potentially hurt my heart with no control over it. No way to stop it. It wasn't the responsibility that scared me, but the connection I already felt to you. It was too strong. I knew I was already falling in love with this little thing growing inside me. I knew then I couldn't tell anyone else. Any little ounce of guilt from someone else or even support & you would've come to life. It wouldn't have been a bad thing, but I'm scared to bring something so innocent into my life of problems and pain.

I laid down on the table blocking out every voice that was explaining to me what was about to happen to me, to you. It felt like I was just on autopilot until I heard the sucking. I threw my arms over my face and began to sob. I knew instantly I made the wrong decision. I wanted you still. I loved you. I killed you. The nurse beside me held my hand & told me, "You are making the right decision don't be sad". She was lying. I could see it in her eyes. Just doing her job and trying to get through yet another young girl not taking responsibility for her skanky actions. The judgment was everywhere from all six eyes in the room. The scrapping began and I remember seeing stars and black. I couldn't take the sounds or the guilt anymore. I felt myself leaving the room. Leaving my mind. Finally, I would get some peace until I floated right back into reality. Opening my eyes to the bright hospital lights. The nurse patting me on my shoulder. My doctor just staring at me waiting for a response I presumed. I just laid there, and eventually, they all hustled out of the room. The job was done. You were gone. I stayed there for what felt like an eternity. I knew that if I got up it would really be over. There was so much blood. Was it yours or was it mine? My legs didn't seem to stop shaking for hours.

I'm so sorry for what I did to you. I almost wish I would've been brave enough to look at the ultrasounds. I've been praying every night for God to take this hurt away from me. The feeling in my stomach won't go away.

Did I make the wrong decision? I guess I will never know.

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.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"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? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
