To The Ones Who Are Finding Themselves Again
"She doesn't belong to anyone and I think that's the most divine thing about her. She's found love within herself and she's complete alone."

This goes out to all the girls who loved with all they had and yet it still wasn't enough. This goes out to all the girls who had to find themselves again. This goes out to all the girls who can't easily be broken...this one is for you.

I know what it is like to go through heartbreak; to love someone so much and give them all of your time and energy. You dedicated your whole life around that one person and you started slowly losing yourself in the process of loving someone else with your whole being. It was not healthy, it emotionally and physically drained you. Because when you love someone like that and do not take the time to focus on yourself do you truly even know who you are anymore? Do you still remember how to be yourself on your own and be happy? And while doing all of this, giving that person all your time and all your energy, you were still left heartbroken in the end. It doesn't really sound fair does it?

Well, I have got some good news for you.

So keep your head up buttercup.

Right now, I know it might really really suck, but like most things, time heals all wounds. So, it might not be tomorrow, next week, or even next month, but slowly and surely you will start rebuilding that independent person that you once were. You will start smiling by yourself again. You will find your own reasons to be happy. You will do what you love again, without any hesitation. You won't have to worry about anyone else, but yourself. You can go on all those adventures that you were never able to before. You can treat yourself, wine and dine yourself. Girl, be that better version of yourself that you could not be before, the you that you wouldn't allow yourself the time to be.

Take random road trips with your friends. Get dressed up and go to that really expensive restaurant. Go to that 6:30 a.m. workout class and kick some butt and make a new you. Go to the movies alone (sometimes it is more fun that way). Go downtown with your girlfriends - I promise it is a fun time!

Remember, now is not the time to look for something new with someone else, but to focus on you! Also, first and foremost seek the Lord with your heart. He is always close to the broken hearted. He will bring you peace and comfort. Good things will come into your life, you might think it is random, but it is all in God's perfect timing.

Wear that smile big and proud. Love others and most importantly love yourself. Be you again.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
