Broken & Beautiful

Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you.

So many people try to hide their pains, mask their flaws, and cover up their scars. But the truth is, these things make you who you are! And who you are is beautiful in the sight of God!

Without the pain, tears, and loss how would you know what it feels like to be an overcomer? How would you know you are that much stronger because of it? How would you be able to recognize God's faithfulness? Without the trails there would be no transformations. Without the pain there would be no peace. And without the fear there would be no faith.

As cliche as it sounds, what doesn't kill you truly does make you stronger. And that inner-strength is something that no one can take away from you. So show your scars & flaunt your flaws, because they've shaped you into who you are (& who you are is pretty amazing).

Go get 'em girl!

With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
