To The Girl With A Brave Face And Broken Heart

“Be That strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst, be that fearless girl, the one who would dare do anything, be that independent girl who didn’t need a man. Be the girl who never backed down.” -Taylor Swift

The thing I find most interesting about broken hearts is anyone at any moment can be crumbling before you. You’d never know because they go through the motions, they have to and put on a brave face. You’d never know they cried themselves to sleep that night, or woke up with a knot in their stomach, not wanting to move. You wouldn’t know how often they look at the pictures and look back at the past, to a time when things were simple.

You don’t know these things, because sometimes it’s easier to pretend everything is okay than actually admit someone blew your heart to shreds and left you to pick up the pieces.

“The hard part is pretending not to give a f$ck when you really do. The worst part is trying to close your heart when it’s doors have been blown to pieces,” R.M Drake

To the girl who has mastered the brave face,

The Strongest Girls Are The Girls With Anxiety

Her Anxiety

She’s been battling her anxiety for quite some time and she continues to do so with bravery. She’s not a victim of her mental illness, because she knows in her heart that she’s so much more than the demons that live in her mind.

1. She’s learned to hold her head up high when the chaos in her mind consumes her, so the word weakness is practically not in her vocabulary.

She’s a strong girl because she manages to survive the battlefield that is her life, dealing with a mental illness that takes a lot of courage to tame and survive on a daily basis.

She manages to function because she’s tried every coping mechanism possible and she has found ways that help her calm her anxious heart. She pushes forward with determination.

Here’s To The Girls With Anxiety, They Are Warriors In Disguise

Anxiety

1. She’s learned to hold her head up high when the chaos in her mind consumes her, so the word weakness is practically not in her vocabulary.

She’s a strong girl because she manages to survive the battlefield that is her life, dealing with a mental illness that takes a lot of courage to tame and survive on a daily basis.

She manages to function because she’s tried every coping mechanism possible and she has found ways that help her calm her anxious heart. She pushes forward with determination.

2. She knows how important it is to not give up because she’s got so much to give and she can’t allow her condition to dictate her life.

She has goals and dreams like everyone else, and all she wants is to be able to be herself.

Yes, her anxiety plays tricks on her and sometimes it wins, but for the most part, she’s able to tap into her inner strength, fight back, and quickly get back on her feet.

Why Every Girl Needs To Be A Little More Unfiltered

She’s been called “crazy” many times just for having feelings and being unfiltered. Are human beings not supposed to have human emotions anymore? She must have missed the memo.

She used to hide her so-called-crazy. She used to apologize for it, but she won’t anymore because it’s just who she is. She’s a bold, crazy, unfiltered, brash, outspoken girl and she doesn’t give a single fuck.

1. She’ll never pretend to be someone she’s not.

She’s happy. She’s had bad relationships and great ones, been in love and fallen out of it. Trying to hide her true self only got her hurt.

Now she’s her authentic self at all times and her authentic self just so happens to be a badass bitch. Sorry, not sorry, that makes her pretty awesome.

2. She gets what she wants when she wants it, no games necessary.

Unfiltered girls tell the truth, even when it’s harsh. She asks the hard questions in the heat of the moment, goes with her instincts, and acts on what her conscience tells her.

And that’s why she gets what she wants. She says what she wants and fights for it when necessary; eventually, she gets it.

3. She never hides her true intentions.

If she only wants to sleep with him and keep romance out of it, she lets him know right away. If she’s falling for him, she tells him. When she’s in love, she says so, even if she’s scared or it’s “too soon.”

She won’t sugar coat shit. She knows what and who she wants. She wants a king, not a prince because she’s a queen, not a princess.

4. No one fucks with her… at least, not more than once.

Her reputation precedes her. She’s intimidating for a reason: to protect herself. She DGAF who’s scared of her or who calls her crazy (it’s actually a compliment at this point.)

Men know not to play with her heart like it’s silly putty. People who haven’t even met her already know her…well, they know that “she’s crazy.” Her resting bitch face helps deter the few who don’t.

5. She’s passionate and she’ll fight to keep the things she loves.

She knows how to love. She feels every feeling to the extreme, that’s why she acts on every little thing. Every pesky argument she starts comes from an uncontrollable place in her brain that’s directly connected to her heart.

She wouldn’t be worried that someone was lying to her if they didn’t matter. All of her craziness is pure, caring, and true; it’s dramatic, but it’s not an act. She doesn’t fight for people who aren’t worth it.

6. She’s herself, always, and there’s no one she’d rather be.

She has absolutely #nofilter. She says what she thinks when she thinks it. When she says “I’m fine,” she’s actually fine. She doesn’t have two personalities and she’ll never put on a show for anyone.

She will never change. Anyone who thinks that’s a bad thing can walk away – she won’t care. She’s not interested in wasting her time on people who want her to be different. She may be unfiltered, but she’s sure as hell never boring.

Because Being A Hot Mess Has Only Made Her Stronger

“I would rather be a hot mess of bold action, a make-it-happen-learn-on-the-fly kind of person than a perfectly organized coward”

She’s had it rough and when her heart was at its weakest point she coped with the pain at best she could. She was determined and willing to heal and the truth is that being a hot mess is what got her through it.

Because to be a hot mess is to be human, it means she’s not afraid to embrace her imperfect-self and vulnerability.

At the end of the day, it’s what helped her find the balance that she needed and it made her stronger.

No one is one hundred percent prepared to deal with pain, but she was able to survive the darkest hours by giving herself permission to be a mess, having faith in herself, and embracing whatever life was throwing her way, fearlessly.

There’s no right way to deal with a broken soul, what’s important is that you don’t hurt yourself more in the process.

Being a hot mess gave her the tools to successfully cope with life’s challenges, because it gave her permission to fully embrace her emotions, evaluate her actions and reactions and make mistakes. And those mistakes are the lessons that she needed to find the right way out of the darkness and move forward.

She knew in her heart that the pain was temporary and that she would eventually come out on the other side.

But it’s hard to keep a level head when suffering clouds your mind and all you want to do is scape, physically and emotionally from being pulled down into a pit of destruction. It takes courage to avoid losing yourself during your difficult times. It takes strength but most importantly, it takes self-love. And in order to love yourself, you have to wholeheartedly accept every part of you, mess and all.

She understands that she doesn’t need to have it all together to be okay.

She knows that what matters is to make the best of her circumstances without betraying her true self.

Being a hot mess doesn’t mean she’s not capable of rising from above, it just means she’s courageously able to confront the good, the bad and the ugly in order to find peace and balance. It doesn’t mean she’s damaged, it means she’s human and understands that it’s not about being perfect but being beautifully imperfect.

Being a hot mess means living fully and being okay with figuring yourself out as best you can with grace and authenticity.

She has found her strength in adversity and she wouldn’t change anything about being a beautiful hot mess.

You Say ‘I Miss You’, I Say ‘Liar’

My heart took a serious hit when I realized that everything that we’d built was literally founded on lies. You pretended to be invested on us when in reality you were just putting up a selfish act to feed your ego. It was never about us, it was always all about you. You’re nothing but a liar.

It took me some time to open my eyes and see the kind of person you’re hiding behind your facade, but I did. I walked away from the relationship 100% sure that it was the best thing for me to do. I had to protect my heart, I just couldn’t allow you to continue drowning me in the delusion that you called our love.

I’ll admit that detaching my heart from yours was probably the hardest things I had to endure.

Because through the realization of you twisted ways, you tried to fool and convince me once again that you loved me and needed us. I wanted so bad for it to be true, I truly did, that’s how good you were at deceiving my heart.

I’m the type that loves to love and you took advantage of my big heart, but I got fed up with giving you my unconditional all in vain.

Not once you put my needs first over yours. My love was no longer enough to fix something that seemed to have been broken from the get-go.

I had to fight against my need to believe you, maybe because I couldn’t handle the shame of allowing you to fool me for so long.

Damn, you were good at making believe that what we had was real. I have to give you that.

I’m still picking up the pieces of our broken past, but I’m staying strong. No amount of “I miss you’s” will convince me of the fact that you’re nothing but a douchebag in disguise. You’re a fraud.

All I want is for you to quit your act and leave me alone.

I did my best to be civil but I don’t think I was effective at getting the message across. You’ve made it your mission to get me back and now all you’re doing is suffocating me with fake “I miss you” and “I love you’s”. I’m not buying it because you’ve proven yourself to be the biggest douche and a monumental liar.

Don’t you see that I no longer fall for any of your bullshit?

Your persistence to get back together with me only highlights how much of an egomaniac you truly are.

What’s really sad about all this is that I truly loved you. I invested my heart in giving us the best shot at something real and you blew it. Part of me wants to think that deep down your foolish heart you actually cared about me at some point. I guess I don’t want to walk away from all this empty handed.

The truth is, you didn’t truly love me and you most definitely don’t care about me now.

You don’t want me, you just want someone who you can easily manipulate into accepting your delusion. You just want attention; someone to tell you how special you are, even if it’s all a lie.

Please get it through your head, I’m no longer the naive girl that fell for you.

I’m smarter, wiser, stronger. Being with you showed me an inner strength I never knew I had and I guess that’s the only positive thing I’m getting from this experience. I now know what my heart shouldn’t settle for and there’s no going back.

I’m honestly a better person than you are and I’m putting my needs first this time. Never again I will make the mistake of falling for someone like you.

12 Ways The Girl With The Big Heart But Ambitious Mind Loves Differently

Ambitious girls with big hearts love a little differently than everyone else:

1. Our relationship will never ever take up 100% of our life.

But when we do choose to commit, we put in 100% into our relationship. We will be the person you can always lean on, no one will love you better. Just because we have our own life and ambitions doesn’t mean we won’t be the first person you can at 4 a.m.

2. We address things head on.

We don’t like to argue, our approach to conflicts is more direct so it may appear like we do, but don’t be fooled – we want to listen and talk things out in a meaningful and real way so that fights are avoided, not started.

3. We will never put our needs aside.

Putting your needs aside for someone else is not love, it’s codependency. We will risk tension because we will not put our needs aside to keep the peace at any cost. Because peace is nice, it’s comfortable, but that’s the thing about comfort, it’s often confused for happiness. We love differently because we’d rather be happy than comfortable – and happiness takes making an effort, facing fears, passionate arguments to push each other, confronting difficult things with unpleasant conversations.
