A Letter To My Fellow Alpha Females

You're so misunderstood.

A Letter To My Fellow Alpha Females
Pink/Sony Music Entertainment

I've been called many things, "bossy" being the most common, but I've never been called a pushover. There is an abundance of beauty in being an alpha female. You're often seen as fearless, tough, confident, and courageous. You're assertive, resilient, strong-willed and you know your worth. You may have others fooled but I see you. You've got a backbone and you aren't afraid to call it like you see it, but you and I both know that under your tenacious exterior there is a tender, compassionate soul that you reveal periodically.

Being an alpha female allows me to be two separate women simultaneously. I am prideful that I can both call you on your bullshit and sympathize with your anguish so seamlessly. We're a rare breed. Many people struggle with their ability to adapt their behavior to the environment around them. Alpha females can usually readjust effortlessly. Our attitude is dependant on the attitudes we are surrounded by, yet we possess the ability to remain the ring leader despite challenging circumstances. I'm not saying we don't lose our shit from time to time (sometimes more often than we'd like to admit) but generally we handle most types of stress pretty well.

Women supporting other women is crucial to the growth and development of the female population and as an alpha, you submerge yourself in practicing that concept. You know exactly what you want and you're not afraid to work for it, all while supporting every woman in your social circle and beyond to chase their dreams, too. However, alpha females don't run in packs; they lead the pack.

Dating can be hard for the single 20 or 30-something alpha. We're loud, sarcastic, opinionated and usually intimidating to the everyday Joe. We're genuinely busy and we don't feel pressured to make time for things that aren't at the top of the priority list. We refuse to settle and cliche romantic gestures tend to leave us unfazed. We're mistakenly seen as hard to impress but we are appreciative of small, kind gestures. If a man opened my car door, I would be in complete awe, as would most women. You're confident. You know that you're a queen and you don't need anyone else to prove it.

The most admired characteristic of the alpha female is our intense drive. We have a need for constant self-improvement. We set goals and work tirelessly to achieve them. We don't give up. In a nutshell, we get shit done.

Stay confident. Stay brave. Stay fierce.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
