Your smile and laughter is what will take you the farthest in life, but just know it helped me the most to remember what life is about, which is happiness.

To The Person Who Stayed

In life you meet many different people. Some are there to make you laugh, some are to keep you in a positive direction, some teach you life lessons and some are what truly make you a better person. You were not just one of those things but all in one. When I didn't even love myself you loved me. When I would lay around for weeks miserable with life you didn't leave me thinking I was alone, you were always there, always a call away. Trying to rebuild my life after losing myself was without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever done and I know I would have never been able to do it without you.

Thanks for never lying to me. Even though I was fragile you always told me what I needed to hear even when it hurt. When I was acting crazy you were the first to tell me to calm down and take 5. If you weren't there I couldn't even imagine some of the things I would have said/done without you bringing me back to earth and look at the situation in a new perspective.

Thanks for not leaving me. Going through depression and finding yourself is something that is truly the hardest thing to explain. I didn't love myself, in fact I hated myself, but you still stayed. I knew I could count on a weekly catch up and it always made me feel so blessed to know you were still there. I pushed away everyone but you didn't let me do that with you. You saw past my attitude & stuck around to help me rebuild when no one was there.

Thanks for always being there when I need an adventure. From willingly getting in my car and going on long drives even though you hate my driving thank you. For going along with all my crazy ideas and making everything we do, even if it is shopping at marshals a huge fun game where no matter what we both end up laughing so hard we cause a scene because getting pillows shouldn't be that much fun.

Thanks for supporting every one of my crazy ideas. From switching my major daily, to always wanting to try something new, thanks for tagging along when I try and pursue a different career each week.Thank you for never judging how passionate I get about absolutely everything in life and getting just as excited as I do.

You loved me when I was unlovable. You saw past what most people ran away from and to be honest you gave me hope that I could start again. Your positivity for life is what everyone gets from you but to me especially, you gave me the light I needed. You took me out of my comfort zone and face life head on. Thanks for listening to my rants even when you knew I was wrong for what I was doing, thanks for knowing just when the perfect time to joke about it is. Thanks for never judging my passion for the way I live life and do every task, thanks for getting just as excited as me to go on stupid errands. Thanks for making me feel worth fixing and always being there to remind me that, and then go right back to the tough love kinda friend you are. Your smile and laughter is what will take you the farthest in life, but just know it helped me the most to remember what life is about, which is happiness.

Love you always Danal

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. 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.
