It's Time To Stop Apologizing

Sorry not sorry

Do you find yourself saying "sorry" even when you did nothing wrong? Is it possible to finally stop apologizing for those times that we don't need to?

Think about it. It has almost become a habit in our lives: apologizing for wearing something the wrong way, for having a different opinion, or even saying sorry when aiming for goals other than what you were told you were destined for.

SCREW IT.

Stop apologizing for doing you, for being a little rebellious at times and for not always ending up being who you were told you were going to be. I have learned that saying sorry too much creates a weird sense of guilt and puts a strain on our confidence. If we don't agree or please everyone we come across, then so be it. Not everyone has to be on the same page all of the time, and that is nothing to feel sorry about.

Pursue your passions, disagree respectfully, step out of your comfort zone, make mistakes, fall in love, always give 100 percent, put yourself first and NEVER APOLOGIZE for any of it.

Don't get me wrong- there are definitely times to say you are sorry about something, but if you've fallen victim to apologizing for no reason, it’s time to ask yourself "did I really do anything wrong?"

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.
