To the empowered woman reading this,

You have endured unspeakable pain and despite your scars, you surpass every obstacle. You rise with strength and power that radiates off of you with brilliance. Each foot you place on the ground is with purpose and intention. When your feet lift off the ground you dance with every part of your soul. With every spin and every jump you feel invincible. There is nothing you can't do.

Sometimes being strong is the only choice you have, and the world thanks you for making this choice. Because you're strong, the world is changing for the better.

With every breath, fire escapes your mouth and ignites the ears of those around you. Your words are powerful and honest. You radiate with light and you influence every person you meet. You are unwavering in your beliefs and you are mature enough to respect others' opinions. Loud or soft, your voice is a sound wave that never fluctuates.

People are drawn to you with a force stronger than gravity. You are loved, feared, liked, and even hated, but your head remains high and your shoulders strong. People would love to see you fall. You ignore these people and focus on the ones who are there for you when you hold the power of the world within your clutch.

Most importantly, you are okay with yourself. Being alone does not mean you're lonely. You indulge in time that you have to be with yourself. You do not need a man or woman by your side to feel complete. You love who you are. You own it. Finding a significant other who respects your power and is not threatened by your strength is rare, and that's okay with you. You know that whether or not you find this person you will be fine because you have your strength to fall back on.

Never feel ashamed of the power and strength that you embody. Strut down every sidewalk and smile at every person who glares towards your direction. You are more than the judgments society creates about you. You believe in controversial topics like feminism and you are not afraid to speak your mind. You are brilliant and unstoppable.

Stay strong. Stay true to you. Change the world.

Love,

A strong woman with a message

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
