Just Believe

 Feeling broken Barely holding on But just there's something so strong Somewhere inside me. And I am down, but I'll get up again. Don't count me out just yet
I've been brought down to my knees And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking, But I can take it. I'll be back - Back on my feet This is far from over You haven't seen the last of me. You haven't seen the last of me.
They can Say that I won't stay around But I'm gonna stand my ground You're not gonna stop me. You don't know me, you don't know who I am. Don't count me out so fast
I've been brought down to my knees And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking, But I can take it. I'll be back - Back on my feet This is far from over.
There will be no fade-out This is not the end I'm down now But I'll be standing tall again. Times are hard but I was built tough. I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of.
 -You haven't seen the last of me by Cher
 
This is for every girl that once in her life felt that she's not good,beautiful or strong enough. I know how you feel, I've been there, but let's have a girl talk (we all love girl talks right?).

Do me a favor have a glimpse at your beautifulness in the mirror see that? That beauty? That's you! Only you! There is no one else like you! (That's wonderful!) You are so unique, even if you have flaws (every one does) that is part of being you!

Have a look into your eyes, see your soul: all the pain you have carried, the love you gave away, the laughs you share and the moments that took your breath away, everything is part of who you are, it shaped you into the powerful, loving woman you are today.

Tell that jealous voice inside your head to shhh... she is only trying to bring you down because she is so jealous of the incredible person you are!
Ask her if her mother never told her "If you can say something nice, don't say anything at all"

The people that laugh and make fun of you- forget them, they are beneath you, don't waste valuable time on valueless things.
Your life is your spotlight, use your time to shine, don't waste it on feeling inadequate

You are more than enough, you just need to believe it darling!

So you don't look like a model?
(Here is a little secret...you are a model! A model of YOU!)

Who wants to starve themselves and have plastic surgery just to look like somebody else, when YOU are a one of a kind? Who would want a fake Louis Vuitton when they can have an original? (Admit it, you would die for an original)
BE-YOU-iful

"I'm not enough to change the world!"
Look at your best friend, would she cry if you die? (of course she will!)

Know that you are enough, you've changed the world, by being a blessing in your best friends life. (my friends-they ARE my world, just like you are your friend world) make a change, light there world with a smile, say 'I love you' it might just save their world, give a hug it will take a way the pain in there world, YOU are ENOUGH to change the world!

"I will never reach my dreams!"
That there is doubt talking
“When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.” ~Honore de Balzac
Never ever doubt yourself and the power you have to reach your dreams, no one can take away your dreams except the little voice of doubt inside yourself tell that voice "shut up, it's my time to shine" and get out there and make your dreams come true!

''No guy would ever like me!"
Darling, don't look for a guy who would like you, because guys also like cars, bikes and games
(Do you want to be a thing?-I think NOT!)

One day (be patient-fairy tales weren't written overnight) you will stumble upon a guy that LOVES YOU,  just they way you are- frizzy hair and all! That is the only guy you ever need in your life, don't waist your precious heart on being someone's thing, keep your most valuable possession (your heart) for someone who will give theirs to you and fight with their life to protect and cherish yours Because YOU are WORTH it!

Now have a look in the mirror, see that beautiful face?

Smile, you are more precious than gold!

Always remember never to take life for granted, live a little, love with everything in you, never give up believing in yourself, most of all fight for yourself Because YOU ARE ENOUGH

Friends Forever

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”

 

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend hold your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry. You have a forever friend, and forever has no end.

I would like to introduce you to two of the most special people in my life!

Anèl Oosthuizen ( 'cause every brunette needs a friend just like her ) and Megan Schmidt ( 'cause every brunette needs a blond best friend)

We are three best friends with totally different personalities and dreams, but that is what makes us such good friend, we fill the gap in each others lives.

Anèl is the athletic (future Olympic star) one among us,  She is my smile and my psychiatrist and the one who will always keep me grounded.

Megan, she is my Prima ballerina, with a heart more pure than gold, if you want someone to listen megs is always there to do just that.

 And then there's me, the dreamer and writer. I fill there lives with deep complicated meanings of life ( They must be so tired of my constant talking...but I know they love me anyway)

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
― William Shakespeare

 It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.”

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey

It's the times we're so crazy,
that people think we're high.
It's the times we laugh so hard,
we can't help but cry.
It's all the inside jokes
and "remember whens".
those are all the reasons
that we're best friends!

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

 Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus

A true friend sees the first tear... catches the second... and stops the third

Anyone can make you smile or cry
But it takes someone special to make you smile
When you already have tears in your eyes

 “Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends”

The words that escape a friend's mouth are "I'll be there when you say you need me" but the words that are unheard from a true friend's heart are "I'll be there... whether you say you need me or not."

 I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
Chuck Swindoll

I believe in angels, the kind that heaven sends. I'm surrounded by angels, and I call them my best friends.

 There are people we meet in life that make everything seem magical. Cherish them.

 Best friends: the ones you can only be mad at for so long because you have important things to tell them.

 A best friend can tell you things you don’t want to tell yourself.

"When it hurts to look back, and you're afraid to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there."

 “May you hold books with pages, mugs with steam, and hands who know your secrets.”
Emily Freeman

 She’s my best friend; if you break her heart, I’ll break your face.

"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile... But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me."

Thank you...

For always being nice to me

and staying by my side,

for helping fix my problems

and never leaving me behind

For accepting my thoughts and feelings,

though you do not understand,

for never giving up on me

and being my best friend

For making me laugh

and letting me cry

and saying you'd miss me

if I were to die

Everything you mean to me

you could never know

In all the ways you've changed my life

I could never show

The way you take care of me,

you're my shining star

and though it's so incredible

that's just the way you are

there's one thing you should know

As long as we are living,

no matter when or where,

if you ever need me

just call and I'll be there

I'll climb a thousand mountains

and swim a thousand seas

anything to be there

'cause you've been there for me

 Best friends are people you know you don’t need to talk to every single day. You don’t even need to talk to each other for weeks, but when you do, it’s like you never stopped talking.

 

  Our inside jokes-too many to name.
When we're apart it's never the same.
When we're together it's nothing but fun.
Replacing my girls just can't be done.
As the years pass,
and we grow apart.
I want you to know,
that you guys are in my heart.
You helped me through problems,
through things good and bad.
You helped me keep smiling :-),
when I was sad.
You helped me with guys,
you made me stay strong.
How will I live,
when you guys are gone?
And where the years take us,
no place is too far.
We will think of each other,
wherever we are.
You're wonderful people,
with good hearts to lend.
And I want you to know,
that ya'll will always be my Best Friends 

 The greatest thing in life is finding someone who knows all about you and your mistakes, and still sees the best in you.

 

 

When we first talked to each other
I knew we would always be friends.
Our friendship has kept on growing
And I'll be here for you to the end.

You listen when I have a problem
And help dry the tears from my face.
You take away my sorrow
And put happiness in its place.

We can't forget the fun we've had
Laughing 'til our faces turn blue.
Talking of things only we find funny
People think we're insane-If they only knew!

I guess this is my way of saying thanks
For catching me when I fall.
Thanks once again for being such a good friend
And being here with me through it all.

- Rachel Ellis 

 I love you girls to bits!
