It's a cycle. He does something wrong that leaves your heart shattered, you cry, and then you forgive him, and it all begins again. Every single time he crushes you, you come back to him, so it happens time and again. I know you don't enjoy the pain so why do you come back to it?

You tell yourself it's love and that justifies it in your mind. If only you could see clearly. Open your eyes.

If a man treats you with anything less than respect on multiple occasions, it's time to pack your stuff up and leave because no amount of abuse can be worth the supposed love he gives you in return. We're told that we only get one true love in our lives, so we think that the stuff he's doing that hurts us is okay because you won't find anything better. Or maybe you tell yourself that everyone goes through this and you need to suck it up.

No, you don't. Sweetie, c'mon. Pick yourself up and start seeing things clearly. You may love him, but do you feel your love is returned?

It's time to admit that you've run out of excuses and start seeing things for as they are. See him as the guy who keeps betraying your trust and taking you for granted. Look for someone who isn't dumb enough to make the mistakes he's making.

He isn't the one. He has some growing up to do and while he's fixing his problems, you need to find better horizons and give yourself only the best.

Stop making excuses and stop hiding the pain. You need to move on from him because he doesn't deserve you. Women having given men too many chances in the past and have let them get away with abuse and neglect. They've reached their limit. Don't fall into that category. Change your fate.

Say no more.We've got your back.

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:

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.
