Life Will Knock You Down, And Heres Why

God will always give you more than you can handle.

Life Will Knock You Down, And Heres Why

I'm sure I'm not the first person that's told you that life will throw curve balls at you. It will throw them at you left and right when you think you can't handle anything else. Heres the thing, people will always say "God will never give you any more than you can handle."

That statement is wrong.

God most certainly will give you more than you can handle. That's how you get stronger.

It's okay to scream. It's okay to cry. It's okay to watch your life fall apart and not know what to do. Everything about that is normal.

When you feel like you can't take anything else, life will throw something at you so hard that it will knock you on the ground. Now listen to this next part carefully. It's very important. Don't stop fighting. Run to your best friend, your roommate, your group of friends, do whatever you have to do. Scream to the world, find someone to talk to. But do NOT go into your dark place. Don't go into the place that makes you a different person. I don't care what happens, do NOT go to the place where you shut out the people that care about you. That place is a danger zone. That place will ruin the way you see the world.

I don't care if the thought of talking to people kills you. Go and find someone and talk to them. You might even find out that they are going through the exact same thing as you. You might find out that they've already been through it. Don't let the world change you.

Don't let life change you. Don't let the bad things about life ruin you. God will give you more than you can handle because he wants you to be stronger than ever before. He wants you to know that you will be more and that you CAN be more.

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.
