People Change.

It's true. People change. You change and I change. It's a part of getting older and it's a part of finding yourself.

Have you ever stopped and thought about who you were a year ago? And how that person is different than the person you are now. New experiences and life lessons create a new you.

Change can be created by many things sometimes it by what's happening in your life. Sometimes by your friends and other times just maturing.

Something that impacted my life in a huge way and that has changed me was becoming single. Single life is a lot different than being in a committed relationship. I find myself doing more of the things I love and thinking about myself more now than I have ever before. I've become more independent. I don't depend on anyone to do anything for me. I love myself more and I've become more confident in the person I am. And if I don't like something then I change it. This change is also impacted by maturity.

I've found that in the past year I've matured so much. And part of this has to do with moving out of my parents house. When I moved out I felt a sense of freedom and responsibility. Sometimes people are afraid of responsibility. But not me. I love being able to do things on my own and not rely on anyone to take care of me. I found a new sense of independence. I use to have to tell my mom whenever I went out and now I don't have to. I do what I want when I want. I make decisions on my own and don't need anyone's approval.

This life is mine and I'm going to live it how I want.

I know what I love and I'm going to go out of my way to do the things that I enjoy.

I care less about what people think. As I've changed I've cared less. I don't care what people think of me. I don't care that I'm not perfect. I have a greater sense of who I am and I strive to be myself and not have anyone influence that. I don't care when people try to put me down. Their opinion are not mine and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Life too short to worry about what other people think. What matters the most is how you view and how you think of yourself.

As I get older and as I mature and change, I see the world in a different way. The world is a beautiful place with beautiful people. There are endless adventure and places to see. Everyone has a story and every person is unique. Human connections are so special but connecting with yourself is important too. I don't know what I want to do with my life yet but I know who I want to be.

I want to be kind and spontaneous. I wanna have fun and be a little reckless but I also want to be respectful and compassionate. I want to live my life to the fullest.

Be open to change and be open to yourself. When you find and love yourself. It won't ever matter who you become.

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:
