Caught In A Storm

After storms, beautiful things are born.

Caught In A Storm

What am I to tell you about this pain that you’re feeling

I can’t say I understand completely, but I know you need healing

And that I want to help you begin

If not, get through

Sometimes all we need is an ear and I’m listening

Sometimes all we need is a hug and my arms are open

Sometimes all we need is someone to sit with us

So that we know we aren’t alone and I’m here

But sometimes we just need to know that someone still loves us


I say all of that to say, I love you

I care about your life and I want the best for you

I want to see you thrive, feeling alive every day

I know you can, it’s already in you

How you get so far if part of you never wanted to

The fight is in you, the answer is in you

The survivor is in you, you are all you need to begin

Because all you need is within

I know it is dark right now, probably very dark right now

You can’t see a better life right now

You can barely see yourself right now

But understand, it may just be on the other side of your pain

Just like the sun is always on the other side of the rain

This is the time to grind so when the sun’s out you can shine

And the next moon, however soon, won’t be covered by so much

That you miss the beauty of the night

In sunlight and moonlight, you are beautiful

Choose love over hate, life over death

Sew what is torn, give it new breath

There's always room for improvement

Give yourself a chance to be better

Really believe you are and work at it

You may be surprised how far

It'll take you without breaking you

But by, instead, improving you

Don't do it for others, many don't want to see it

Do it for yourself, because you want to be it


Remember

After storms, beautiful things are born

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:
