An Open Letter to Miss Independent: You Are Beautiful
Monica Bradley

This is a letter to the girl who has almost never needed someone there. You have always been the one who has been you're biggest support system. You have always been the one who picked up the pieces when everyone left. Girl, you were the only one who knew you're heart and everything it was. You may not have always had the independence you have now, however you did have that fire. There was always something there pushing you and driving you to be who you are. However, that always left you being the odd one out.

But I want to let you know that it is amazing.

Being independent has so much to offer. It gives you a sense of confidence that you have to your core. That confidence that no one can take away from you. Being independent also shows you how to be alone and to be happy about it. I mean when you get to a point where you enjoy being just you, oh man is it a sweet place to be in. Being independent also allows you to be who you were made to be, yourself. Now I'm not saying that being independent is the answer to all your problems, however it is the answer to many of them. I know for a fact that being independent myself has shown me how to pick myself up and how to love every bit of myself. I wish every single girl knew who they are, and found that on their own, because when you do, it's an irreplaceable feeling.

All I have to say is, find you and hold on to you. Because you are all you and that's beautiful!!

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.

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:
