Sometimes I am

Sometimes I'm invincible, other times I'm fragile, but most times I'm a mix of the two

Sometimes I am

Sometimes I'm invincible, other times I'm fragile, but most times I'm a mix of the two. I exist in parts and pieces, and I exist as one whole being, tied together with a string that turns my veins to fire, pushing me to make sense of who I am and what I'm doing.

Sometimes I question myself. Why am I doing this? Who am I? I don't like what I'm doing, should I stop? Is that quitting? Is quitting bad? Good? Or is quitting simply chaotic neutral?

I never really believed in chaotic good- or chaotic evil- it was always chaotic neutral. All people are neutral. There is no inherent goodness or badness in our genes, no chemical that tells our brains that we must kill or hunt or rape.

Sometimes I am both good and bad, other times I am sweet, but most of the time I'm simply in a state of stress, roaming around until I figure out the best course of action for myself.

Sometimes I play with words as I am doing right now. I can feel the clatter of the keys underneath of my fingertips and I know I am home, but I am neither in my house nor using my own computer, notebook, pen or pencil. In that regard I am a phony, a fake, an impostor, but I cannot let you know that is who I am. No, I cannot. So I fake it.

I suppose that what you just read may have sounded deep on some level, but it is quite the opposite. It is an experiment in sounding deep, being pretentious, and seeing how far I can get before you realize that I have no idea what to write about. what to say, or what subject matter to comment upon.

So suddenly I've written something very deep and yet written nothing at all, and you've fallen for it.

I bet you're starting to regret clicking on this article, but it will surely comfort you to know that this is the product of a week full of papers, midterms, and a sinus infection that seems to only serve the purpose of imitating a clamp being shoved up my nose.

Not everything you read on the internet has a purpose, I've proven that. I've striven to prove that. Everything I write is finite and in the long run, it won't matter. Write what you want. It's okay.

Sometimes I am okay.

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.

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.
