Making Moments Matter

Never take a single moment for granted.

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about life and how quickly it can be taken away from us. It seems that everywhere I turn, a young person has left this earth too soon. They have lost their lives so suddenly and so tragically, and I find it hard to wrap my head around the concept of someone being here one minute and the next they are gone.

We all know that no one is promised tomorrow, but do we really understand the severity of that statement? Do we really understand that anything can happen in an instant and affect whether we will have a tomorrow or not? Are we making our moments matter? Are we making our mark and impact on the world?

These are questions that have been floating around in my head for the past few weeks. Am I making my moments matter? Am I telling the ones I love the most how much they mean to me? Am I making an impact on this world? This life we live is beautiful and in an instant, it can be gone. I think about those who have lost their lives so soon and won't get to experience things in life. I want to live my life to the fullest and make my moments matter. Not only for myself but for them as well.

I hope this article encourages you to make your moments in life matter. Don't be afraid to do things for certain reasons. Take that leap of faith and believe in yourself.

Tell those close to you that you love them.

Make them feel your love.

Don't take your moments in this life for granted.

Always be thankful for what you have and the capabilities that you have.

Know that you are loved, and make others around you feel that same love.

Don't spend your time tearing others down, but building them back up. Encourage one another and love one another. Choose joy and happiness each and every day.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

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.
