A Letter To The Girl Who Is Waiting

When it seems like everyone is moving forward, and you're standing still.

Hey you,

Sometimes it seems like the whole world is moving forward while you’re standing still. It’s hard to watch your friends start their careers when you still have no clue what you want to do with yours. It’s hard to see your friends get married and have children when you’re barely taking care of yourself. It’s hard not to worry about the future when it’s all anyone ever talks about. It’s easy to feel like everyone else is happy and you’re not. You're waiting for clues about the future, you're waiting to fall in live, you're waiting to be happy. I understand and I want you to know:

You are not alone.

Your friends and family love you more than you know. They’re willing to be there for you if you’ll let them. Prayer works too.

It’s okay to not have everything all figured out.

The future will take care of itself, you just take care of you. It’s normal. Once you stop worrying over it, everything will fall into place as it should be and when it should be.

Don’t let the good times pass you by.

Worrying doesn’t make tomorrow come any faster, so just take a step back and enjoy the time you have. You are as young now as you’re ever going to be; don’t let time pass you by. Enjoy the things you’ve been given.

Focus on what's right.

It’s so easy to focus on what’s wrong in life and let that crowd your vision. When you’re feeling down, count your blessings. There are so many beautiful things in life, and you are one of them.

Live in the moment.

You keep telling yourself when this happens or I get this, then you'll be happy. If you let your happiness be dependent on "if" situations, you'll be waiting forever. Enjoy what's good now and let yourself live.

Sincerely,

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:
