“Here’s to all the strong women out there! Who stand up for themselves and face the world with a heart of soldier. Here’s to all the passionate women out there! Who won’t let the world stop them from achieving their dreams and doing the things they love. Here’s to all the independent women out there! Who have been there for themselves and show that they can. Here’s to all the unbreakable women out there! Who have been knocked down for countless times but they find a way to rise and stand up again. Here’s to all the women in this world You are beautiful, you are worthy, and no one has the power to dim your light.” ― Samiha Totanji

“I hope you don’t look back at this year and wish things had been better. Or worse, thinking things could have been better, if only you’d tried harder. That you should’ve changed as a person when you didn’t, that you should’ve let go and moved on when you couldn’t. I hope you don’t dwell on the opportunities you missed because you were afraid. I hope you don’t regret the time you wasted on the wrong moments and the wrong people. Please understand that you are growing as a person every single day and that not a week passes without you learning something for life. You are not the same person you were at the beginning of this year. You are stronger, you are better, you are several steps closer to becoming the person you want to be. Please know that you are healing, that you are in the middle of evolving. There are reasons why you had to fight so hard. Why you had to climb mountains and crash back down to earth before you learned how to fly. Look at the new year with hope in your heart. Chances are you will be someone brand new at the end of next year, someone you can’t even imagine right now.”

Hot take: mental health is just as important as physical health and should be treated with the same seriousness.

please stop asking me if i have a boyfriend yet.

i never want to be the girl who gives up her hopes and dreams for a boy. the girl who leaves her dreams in the dust to live out the dreams of a significant other. the girl who drops everything to follow a boyfriend wherever he goes. the girl who ditches her friends to spend every waking second with him. the girl who ends up having absolutely nothing if he ever decides to leave.

i want to be the girl who wakes up every morning with a goal to crush. the girl who has a kick ass career she loves and can be proud of. the girl who has meaningful friendships she couldn’t live without. the girl with massive dreams that she’s working so unbelievably hard to achieve. the girl who has a vision of her future life and is unconditionally happy, with or without a significant other. the girl who will still have everything she needs, even if a boy walks out.

family members are always asking “are you seeing anyone?” & friends are asking “aren’t you lonely?” — girls these days are too concerned about finding a boy who “completes them.”

call me crazy, but i don’t want that. i want to complete myself. i want to be strong for myself, build a successful career for myself, love life for myself and be unapologetically happy on my own before i consider letting anyone else in. i want to make sure i confidently have all of that before a boy comes into the picture. i want to make sure i have all of this so that a boy has the option to add to my life but will never have the option to take anything away from me.

i’ve seen it happen way too many times. girls drop everything for their man and when he decides to leave... she’s left with nothing at all. no man should ever be worth giving up your goals, your dreams and most importantly.. you happiness.

normalize strong woman building their empire without a man. and please stop asking me if i have a boyfriend yet.

“Anxiety: the feeling where you question your value, your worth, your pride, yourself, everything…and you think. Overthink. All night. All you’re left with, is you, yourself, and a very dark place.”

“Anxiety ruins you. It turns a simple or non existent situation, into a catastrophe. It rips you from sleep. To the point where it makes you sick, because you’re so tired. It creates problems that aren’t even there. It’s like having a little devil on your shoulder. All the time, whispering what could go wrong. And what a nuisance you are, And how awful you are. So you start to repeat all the bad things about yourself. “Nobody wants you around” “You’re so boring” “You’re ugly” “Everyone is sick of you” “Your boyfriend is going to get tired of dealing with this” “You’re a mess all the time, how could anyone love that?” “Their lives would be better if you just went far away” Should I go away? It makes you angry over little things. It ruins your relationship because you’re always worried about everything. It makes you just want to be alone. To distance yourself. I haven’t seen my friends in 4 weeks. But wait, I forgot the panic attacks. I can’t breath. My heart is going out of control. I’m sweating. I’m dizzy. My chest is so tight. It feels like an elephant is sitting on it. All of this is going on in your head, But all people see is a polite smile. Anxiety ruins you. And it’s so damn tiring. To fight a battle inside your head, Every Single Day.”

“When people make you feel unwanted, don’t leave to make them feel sad or guilty, they won’t. Leave because you no longer have a reason to stay. Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. What’s meant to be will end up good and what’s not - won’t. Love is worth fighting for, but sometimes you can’t be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don’t you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you and more than they deserve.”
