Mental health is hard.

Butterflies

Standing on the edge of a cliff

Wind in my face

I am with out fear

I have all grace


The dancing sunlight across my cheeks

How often should I breathe

Sinking the weight in my heels

You are my thief


I shift the pressure to the outside of my feet

I extend my arms

The air on my fingertips glides with me

There are no alarms


I am at peace

Do I leap

Take a step

Hold my breath


Eyes closed with a thud

My heart stops

Door's unlocked

Code red special ops


I've dreamt of this

Thought about it

Wanted it

Scared I missed it


The sudden the simple

An uncontrollable window

The longing for a long nap

An abundance of flies on the trap


But then I hear you call my name

My heart comes back to me

The air refills my brain

I lower my arms


She was a stunner

She couldn't be changed

She believed her sights

She knew she was sane


Breathes and steps back

Depression is the delayed thunder after the lightning has already attacked

That sudden feeling when your stomach drops

Butterflies don't go back to caterpillars.

All longing gets lost

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:
