Thank you for taking the knife out of my back

Doesn't matter how long the friendship is

Thank you for taking the knife out of my back

Thank you for helping me realize that not everyone is going to hurt me

Thank you for always being there for me

Thank you for listening to me

Thank you for being you

Where does the title come from most of you are wondering. Well you see I had this so called "friend" who crossed the line one to many times. We were friends for over ten years and I thought we would be friends forever.

I realized soon that when one chapter closes in your life you should leave the negative people behind.

The hard part about friendships is the longer it is the harder it is to say goodbye well unless you truly don't care about the friendship.

This friend and I went through a really bad situation. A situation that I will never forget. You know the funny part; I did nothing wrong but I was the one trying to salvage what was left of our friendship. I tried setting up a time to talk but she bailed and we haven't spoke since.

A true best friend would do anything to make it work. It doesn't matter what you did or how bad things got, someone would go out of their way.

After everything, I felt almost broken because that was the person I always hung out with. But then I realized who my TRUE best friends were.

They reached out to me, they asked me how I was, they cared and did everything they could to make me laugh.

Do you know how amazing it feels to talk to friends that can have a conversation without bringing drama into it? It feel AMAZING. I don't have to listen to sob stories, or deal with a toxic relationship anymore.

It's funny how once everyone heard what happened the response I got from a bunch of people was, "good you're better off because I never like her anyways."

Find yourself friends that are going to encourage you and not bring negativity in your life. If you feel like someone is constantly bringing your mood down, break it off.

Thank you to my TRUE friends. I don't know what I would do without you; and I honestly mean that!

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.

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.”

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:
