An Open Letter To My Friends

I cannot thank you enough.

An Open Letter To My Friends
MrkReport

To all of the wonderful people in my life that I’m lucky enough to call my friends,

Thank you so much for the unconditional love, support, guidance, and encouragement you’ve shown me. Thank you so much for the memories, both good and bad, we’ve formed. Thank you for all of the lessons you’ve taught me about life, happiness, sadness, pain, joy, love, and loss. Thank you for being there for me, sticking around, and for helping me through some of the hardest times of my life.

Thank you for being you.

Despite saying “thank you” five times in a row, I seriously cannot thank you enough. The truth is, I’m not sure if I can even properly express how grateful I am to have you in my life. It doesn’t matter if we’ve known each other for three months or ten years. It doesn’t matter where or how we met. Even if we don’t talk every day or see each other very often due to our hectic schedules, I’m still so thankful to have you in my life. My day gets better by just talking to you, whether we hang out or simply just text and Snapchat one another.

You’re all special, unique, and amazing in different ways. You have your individual talents, strengths, quirks, and hobbies– things that make you, you. And with these strengths and talents, you’ve taught me so much about hard work, dedication, and passion. You’ve taught me to follow my heart's desires and to do everything passionately and fearlessly. You’ve taught me how to love and accept others. You’ve taught me how to let go of my burdens and stressors and have fun.

You’ve helped me realize I was worthy of love, happiness, and respect... Even when I hated myself, you still stuck around and encouraged me to overcome my pain and discover self-love.

Thank you again for being a part of my life.

I cannot express how happy I am to have you there.

Sincerely,

Joanna

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

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:
