An Open Letter To My Negative Thoughts

You don't get to win.

An Open Letter To My Negative Thoughts

You always make my day worst.

You always come without no warning.

You come in waves and don't stop.

You always tell me bad things about myself.

You never encourage me.

I don't understand you.

I don't know why you always try and hurt my feelings.

I can't deal with the way you treat me.

When I am trying to be positive you try to be negative.

Negative things are all around us. Mine are in my head.

Thinking about negative things are easy. Thinking about positive are a struggle. It doesn't make sense to me.

When I am having a good day and something goes wrong I instantly think negatively then it's hard to go back to being positive. When I am having a bad day and there are good things happening to me it is still hard to be positive.

I don't think negative thoughts should win but they do.

When I am laying in bed and one thing starts to bother me the negative thoughts are like a bullet. They keep coming and coming and they don't stop until they hit you.

I don't understand why thinking negatively is so much easier.

Negative thoughts are like a snowball effect once they start they don't stop. They just keep getting bigger and bigger.

I don't understand how I can think of something negative before thinking of something positive.

My negative thoughts will drown out my positive and take over. I will start to have so many negative thoughts that I can't even think straight. Negative thoughts just don't know when to stop.

My negative thoughts are annoying. They come even when you don't want them to come. They don't care if you are having a great day or bad day.

My negative thoughts will stay when I want them to leave.

My negative thoughts love to bring up the past sometimes.

Negative thoughts are like that one thing you can't get rid of.

But you know...

I will get rid of my negative thoughts.

Negative thoughts won't be able to win one day.

Negative thoughts won't be in my head anymore.

Negative thoughts won't be my problem anymore.

One day I will be able to stand up to my negative thoughts.

One day I will be able to get out of my negative mood and turn it into a positive mood.

Day by day I will get better.

I will fall and fail then fail 8 times more then get back up every single time.

Because why should the negative thoughts win.

Why can't the positive thoughts win?

I am tired of my negative thoughts overpowering my positive thoughts.

I am tired of always being and thinking so negatively.

One day it will be easier to think of positive thoughts than negative thoughts.

One day my negative thoughts will lose and my positive thoughts will win.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
