An Open Letter To The Boy Who Used Me

You were never even my boyfriend but you still broke my heart.

Hey You,

It’s taken me over three months to figure out all the things that I wish I could say to you so I just decided to write them all down in this letter. I know the chances of you reading this are slim, which is fine; I just needed a way to get this all out.

The first thing I want to ask you is why? Why did you do it?

Why did you feed me all of these bullshit lines about how you liked me and how you couldn’t wait to call me your girlfriend and how I'm so beautiful, when all along you were just using me? You knew I was afraid of getting hurt so why didn’t you just let me go when you had the chance? You strung me along until you got what you wanted and then you threw me away like I was some worthless toy. But I’m not. I am a person. A person who had real feelings for you, ones that you obviously did not return.

I just don't understand why you chose me? Was it because I looked like someone that could be easily fooled? Was it because I'm a very trusting person? I was finally starting to put myself back together after going through a tough time and then you came along and made me fall apart again. You hurt me in a way that I have never been hurt before. And I know we were never "officially" dating or anything like that, but that does not mean that the feelings that I had for you weren't real. Now I know that none of these questions will ever get answered and I'll probably never know why you decided to use me like you did but that's okay because I was finally able to let everything out that I've kept bottled up inside me for the past few months.

But honestly, after thinking this all through, I really want to say thank you. Thank you for showing me that I deserve SO much better. Thank you for showing me that I worth so much more than you thought I was. And most of all, thank you for making me a stronger person. I was a mess after you ended things with me, I honestly was not sure how I was going to get through it, but I did. And I'm a stronger person because of it.

Sincerely,

The Girl You Thought Was A Toy.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

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:
