-excerpt from a book i'll never read

Here I am. A nice, wintry day. Thinking. Lost about how you're gone. How you walked out of my life without a flinch or a good bye. I'm still hurt over everything. I'm still hurt that you threw a year and a half down the drain. I wrote many articles about you. How you were the love of my life, and how distance wasn't going to phase us. We believed that we were one of the strongest couples out there. We believed we were going to be walking down the wedding isle soon. But here I am, sitting and thinking about what I did wrong. Sitting with one person on my side. And there you are, going out on date after date with multiple people, because you can.

I don't ask for much. I don't ask for sympathy. I don't ask for empathy. I don't ask for you to come back. I don't ask for forgiveness. I don't ask for anything.

I'll never forget the night. I'll never forget the fight. I'll never forget the things that were said, and done. You are not a perfect human, and I am also not one. I will never forget you. No matter how much I want to. You'll always have my heart. More than anyone. Never throw that aside.

Here I am. Stronger that you're gone. I am able to love myself before loving someone else. I put myself first. I care about myself. I know I am strong. I know I am big. I know I can rule whatever I need to. Here I am, knowing it's over and I'm shutting the door. There will never be another chance, and I'm okay with that.

It was the wrong time, but right person. I'm sorry I was your princess, but it wasn't the right time.

I hope she loves you like you deserve. I also hope karma comes back to you. Harder than you ever brought me.

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:
