Who I Am

This is who I am, who I want to be

Who I Am
500 pix

I'm an introvert

I like to stay inside

and read sometimes

I used to be really shy,

but I'm coming out of my cocoon

so I can fly free and become a butterfly

My true colors come out

blue, orange, yellow, green---

the limit doesn't exist

with all those colors that are vibrant,

Put all of them together so it spells ''ROY G BIV"


I'm a writer and a poet,

but before I didn't know it

I guess you could say words are pretty important to me

I'm just a kid who loves rhymes and gluing words

and hearing poets and rappers bust out a poetic verse


Math and science aren't my strong suits,

but art and music always will be connected to my creativity

at least, that's what my closest friends know about me


I have some rainy days and sunny days

but that doesn't stop me from wanting to play outside

and stay up late to see the sunset

or wake up so see the sunrise

I know both are a beautiful sight to see

There is no need for a debate

for who agrees or disagrees

which one is better

because both are a part of nature


The moral of the story is

I've been through a lot,

But that doesn't mean

I didn't have positivity and support

to fill that gray slot


I have found people who have made me feel more confident

Worth it

And help me stay true to my significance


I'd love to travel and see the world

so one;

I can change the lives of others

and two;

to simply experience

what it's like to see an incredible view

from the mountain top to below the sea

and to most importantly, taste all the yummy food

that the locals have to offer me


This is who I am

I'm still figuring out who I want to be

Luckily, since I'm still at the golden age of nineteen

I have time to resurface my youth before entering my twenties


I want to discover more of the world

so everyone can listen to what I have to say,

which will always end with,

thank you, and have a wonderful day

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.
