There is a vicious cycle we go through as women, actually, I think it is a cycle gone through by humans so this one is for my boys too. Even the strongest, most intelligent, and freaking badass people I know fall into this cycle. A cycle of self-hate.

I have yet to find a force more powerful than that of a healthy and stimulating female relationship. While these relationships can often feel few and far between, there is one that requires little effort but provides a lifetime of unwavering love and support. If you are so lucky to have this relationship you already know who I am talking about, your sister.
