It's a beautiful day outside, or perhaps a rather chilly one. Either way, the weather calls for you to collect your friends and spend the day in the big city. Your intention is likely to create some memories and have fun. But have you ever thought of internal feelings when it comes to going into the city life for a day?

If you're traveling to a city such as Boston, Massachusetts, you are likely entering via train. This is a much more sensible mode of transportation for going into Boston, considering that there are not many place to park without having to pay dozens of dollars to use a garage. At the first thoughts, you'd definitely like to use your car - you'd have the freedom to drive all around the city without having to walk. However, taking the train has more benefits than you might think. For one thing, you're not going to have to worry about getting stuck in the city traffic; but let's forget about the cars.

You get to the train platform after paying the fare. At that very moment, everything is peaceful. Other than people quietly talking with each other, there is really not too much to be heard. It gives you the opportunity to live in your mind - to think about the best things in life, or perhaps what would you like to forget about. No matter what your mindset is, you are still preparing to embark on a journey to a beloved city.

Now, the train arrives and the sound of its cars stopping at the platform represent the beginning of the adventure. Everything becomes even more positive from that point. You take a much more fascinating ride through the towns and cities leading to your destination; it's change from being on the road to kind of cutting through the land via railroad. All of the sights you see remarkable, from beautiful skies, notable buildings, land water, and anything from the outdoors that you can possibly think of. Regardless of what you feel, you will likely find a way to put a smile on your face.

You've reached your destination. There's all sorts of things you can do in the city, such as going to eat, having drinks at a bar, going to a museum, embarking on a tour, or even just sightseeing. Whatever it is that you choose to do, you find some peace. The people are strolling along with smiles, couples are holding hands, the skyscrapers are quite a sight, and the attractions that are all bunched up together are endless.

When you decide to spend a day in a big city, think to yourself about why you're here. No other setting could be better.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.
