Broken girl..

Broken girl..

I know it feels like the world continues to run you over. When you think it can't get any worse it does. Those days eventually will cease, and the light will begin to show itself again.

Broken girl.. I know how bad some days you want to give up. You continuously debate on if being this broken is even worth staying here sometimes. You practically scream our for help.. yet no one hears you. You choose to stay, because something in your conscious tells you there is more to your story. You lose sight of all the good you have done in your life. All the smiles you have given people. The slightest difference you have made in so many peoples lives. You are so loved, even when you don't realize it.

Broken girl.. I know your whole life you have been told you were hard to love. Your dad leaving you shattered first. Dating boys who didn't understand you or see your worth. Taking more and more of you piece by piece. You continue to chase this idea of what you think is 'love' as it continues to rip you apart. Until one day you realize loving yourself is more important.

Broken girl.. I see you working hard, getting better, choosing self care, and repairing all the parts others have broken of you. It's hard as hell. But you're doing it well. You look in the mirror seeing progress. You smile because you never thought you would start to feel normal.

Broken girl.. you learned to love yourself. Placing each piece back carefully so you seem a lot more together than you actually are. It's an art really. You're finally happy. You're finally getting where you want to be.

Broken girl.. your truest friends are your soulmates. You know the ones I'm talking about. They root for you in your success. They encourage you to continue on this positive road because they believe in you so much. But they also wipe away your tears when all you want to do is shatter again. They remind you giving up is no option. They help hold the bond together. Their love for you in genuine.

Broken girl.. you have learned to love yourself. You have learned that being broken is okay. That this is apart of your story. This is YOU. You view life differently. The light in your life is becoming more apparent. You have learned so much about yourself when you chose to focus on you. Life becomes enjoyable.

Broken girl.. unexpectedly now you have met someone. A man. One that you thought only existed in movies or fairytales. One that chooses the broken girl, because he sees the potential in you. He loves every broken piece, and never intends to break the progress you have pieced together. He shows you love, they way you should be loved.

Broken girl.. you will be whole again. Years from now, you will know the exact moment that last piece will fit perfectly and your life will all make sense. You are everything they told you that you weren't. You are now whole.

To all the broken girls. Here's the hope you were looking for today,

Xoxo ❤️

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
