Dear Best Friend, I Know Times Are Hard

To be honest, we’re both a mess

Dear Best Friend, I Know Times Are Hard
H&L Productions

Seeing you without your smiling face is hard on me. I know when you're falling and it kills me inside. You try and hide your pain but you’re not hard to read. You’re my best friend and it hurts me when you won’t let me in. I know you like to be independant but, trust me, you can’t do this alone.

I want you to know that I'm always here for you. Even when you don't think I'm listening, I always am. I want what's best for you and although I'm not always perfect, I know what to say in your distress. I want you to be happy again. The world is harsh and it hits us all pretty hard everyday but I want you to know that you've always got a best friend by your side no matter what. (She's a pretty great one too if I do say so myself)

I've always hated when you tried to be so strong and keep it all to yourself and I'm kind of a hypocrite because I attempt to do the same. To be honest, we’re both a mess. I want you to know that it’s okay to feel. It’s okay to reach out and say you need help. It’s okay to be a mess.

I know you want to be strong but you’ve already proved yourself to be strong. No one likes to show their tears but it is not a sign of weakness. Life can hit us all pretty hard but it’s okay to fall sometimes. I’m not going to be basic and say "you must fall before you can fly.” No, I want you to know that when you fall, I will be there to pick up the pieces. If you don’t think you can do it anymore, then I will sit with you in the darkness. One day this pain will be invisible and that smile will no longer be fake, one day you will let out a smile and I will see that spark in your eyes. One day things will turn around.

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.
