Would You Promise?

No matter what.

Would You Promise?
Jestira Mladenovic

My dear, this life isn’t easy. It never will be, but I promise that it will work out in the end and in light of whatever problem is in your life as it unravels itself before you, you will be able to look back and stand in awe of how you were able to conquer the world you live in. No matter how old you live to be, no matter what demons you may be struggling with every night, no matter the heartache you feel and see in the world; will you promise me one thing? Promise me that your heart and soul will continue to see and live as a child, and to love not only everyone around you, no matter who they are, but to love the one Who fabricated your very existence with all that you have.

You weren't created to be Superman, but you will have many that will look up to you, watching your every action more than they will ever listen to your words. Will you promise to work with yourself even when it seems like you're tearing yourself apart? To become a reflection of His heart of gold? I know, nothing I ask of you has ever been simply done and it never will be. But through your perseverance, character will step forward and by character, hope will be able to brightly shine in a world trying to tear it all away from you.

Hope is the key to worlds unknown and the fuel that powered generations on the brink of defeat. Hope will keep you from despair. It will give you the power to turn hate to love, the insight to fall into the arms of wisdom, and the courage to be caught by unfailing love.

I can only ask it again...would you?

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.”

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:
