A Love Letter To My Self
Clarissa Zills

Sometimes, we overlook what makes us who we are. Below, is a letter I have written to myself and hopefully it encourages you. Just think, “How much better would life be if I admired myself?”

Dear self,

You are unlike any other -- physically and mentally. Your love toward others is something to be praised and you're so endearing. The simplicity of your being yet your uniqueness wrapped into one; it’s strange you’re so small because you contain so many big, beautiful things. From giving gifts on a whim to sending encouraging words for no reason, you are kind.

Who says Beyoncé is flawless? Have they seen your hair and your eyes? Your eyes are the sky and everyone wants to fly in them. Your sparkling white teeth hide behind that crooked, little smile that sheds every time a stranger compliments you. From your petite toes to the perfectly arched brows of your eyes, everything about you is worth loving.

The way you obsess over the little things -- vinyl records, the stars and chocolate milk -- is charming. Your writing is unlike anything else -- the style is one of a kind. You're clever yet quirky; your narcissistic but humble personality wins over anyone within earshot.

You are a warrior with beauty that radiates from within. Your confidence is admirable. You let your self-worth be known.

You are it, Clarissa. The world is waiting on you.

I encourage you to write out all of the things that make you, you, and go from there.

A big “thank you” to Bella Grace magazine for the inspiration!

Cheers!
Clarissa

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:
