A Letter To My Future Little
Elizabeth Hurdle

Hello,

This is a letter to my future little(s) however many of you there may be. I’m writing this because I have so many things I want to say to you that I might not be able to say later. In the words of Flannery O’Connor "I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say.” These are all the things I really want you to know, but unfortunately, I’ll probably forget to say when they’re most important. This is for you.

It’s nice to meet you. Actually, I hope we’ve already met before this, but if not, it’s really nice to meet you. How are you? I hope you’re doing well. I’m excited to be your big. I’m excited to get to know you. I’m excited to show you through our sisterhood. I’m excited to share something so important to me with you.

I hope that you’re nice but more importantly, I hope that you are kind. I hope you have a loving heart and feel everything to the fullest extent. I hope you care about more than just yourself and share a genuine connection with the people around you. I hope you wish to become bigger than you are but that you always remember where you started. I hope you long to reach for the stars but to also be careful not to fall. I hope you are passionate about something even if it’s not something I’m passionate about. I really hope you care about school and learning because those things are important. I hope you have good taste in movies, but if you don’t, I can help change that (books too). I hope that you’re as proud to be my little as much as I am to be your big.

I want so many things for you. I want your life to be filled with nothing but joy. I want you to wake up every morning remembering that you’re loved and that it’s going to be okay. I want you to feel at home here and never feel like you’re alone. I want you to be able to come to me with anything. I want you to trust me, but more importantly, trust yourself. I want you to reach for your dreams but not feel the need to crush others on your way to the top. I hope you get everything you want out of life and more.

I’m writing this because I want you to know how much you being my little means to me. I want you to know how much I care because I care a heck of a lot. I want you to know that I’ll always be there when you need me. I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re sad and the person to pick you up when you fall. I’ll be there in your happiness moments and in your saddest. I’ll do whatever I can to support you and to lift you up. I promise to be the best that I can, and I hope you’ll give that same promise to me. I just want you to remember to never feel like you can’t reach out to me. I’m always here, and I can’t wait to be your big.

Until we officially meet little one(s),

Your future big.

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:

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.
