I can't...

The inner workings of my mind

13
I can't...

The ominous voice inside my head, telling me that I'm inadequate.

The voice lingers inside my head, haunting me like a bad dream.

Debilitating my mind and halting any future successes.

I think to myself, "If they can do it, why can't I?" But not in a good way.... More of a, "what the hell is wrong with me?" way.

I am my biggest obstacle... my mind is my biggest hinderance. It tells me daily how much of a failure I am and how I can't succeed.

How do you rewire you rewire your brain? How do you stop that voice, when it's been the only voice for so long.


I do not want to sound too woe is me, because I know theoretically I have as good a chance as anyone, I just can't get past the beginning and into the hard parts. I'll get the high of starting something new, but in the back of my mind, I know I won't succeed because of myself. It happens every single time I try something new. I just want to feel more out of life because right now, I am stagnant and unfulfilled.

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.
