To The Girl Who Feels Like She's Lost Her Way, You'll Get Back On Track
Arianna Levenson

You aren't where you want to be.

Everything seems to be going a different direction then you planned, and you feel like your losing focus. Your dreams are fuzzy, your thoughts are jumbled, and you feel like you can't grasp onto a single thing.

You grab hold of something, but your grip suddenly weakens, leaving you to watch as it fades away into the distance.

Time and time again, you are left hopeless and discouraged. You start making yourself believe that you'll never find one thing that truly makes you happy. One thing to give you that 'this is where I'm meant to be' moment.

The constant discouragement seeps its way into many other aspects of your life.

You notice a major lack of motivation for things you once craved so deeply.

Things that meant everything now feel like nothing.

'What's the point?'

Life is an endless journey of uphill battles and beaten paths.

Your successes thus far have not been met without a struggle.

Your first steps? You didn't just stand up and walk the initial try. You fell, thousands of times.

The day you finally rode that bike without training wheel? Months of scrapes and bruises endured getting there.

Your high school diploma? Twelve long, grueling and possibly embarrassing years to be able to walk across that stage in your cap and gown.

Life is not easy.

You may feel like you are stuck in a never-ending rut, but you need to know that there is something great to come. Hard work, dedication, and persistence do not go unnoticed.

Trust that everything you are going through is simply preparing you for what's to come.

One milestone lends itself to another. It may take one year, it may take ten years. Your journey is unlike any other. Embrace it. Keep pushing because you will have that 'this is where I am meant to be' moment.

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.
