In today's society women are expected to look a certain way to be considered beautiful. I think that's a bunch of crap. Every woman is beautiful in their own way. You don't have to look like the latest celebrity to be beautiful. Don't dress like everyone else? Awesome, you're standing out. Can't afford the most expensive makeup? Forget about it, you don't need it anyway. You act weird in front of people? Good, you're being yourself. We are told there is a certain way we should act and speak. A way to make us all seem the same. With how people talk about women today here are 10 things I think women need to hear.
1. Everyone has fat rolls when they sit down.
I mean seriously, come on. Why do people have to be the size of a twig to be considered beautiful? We live in a world where you are told a size 00 is perfect and a size 8 is too big. No matter what size you are, the moment you sit down you create rolls. Whatever size you are, appreciate it and most importantly love it.
2. It's OK to show your emotions.
Who said showing emotion was a bad thing? When did we become a world that said emotions were a bad thing? You get judged for being too emotional, or for being a brick wall. Come on people, what do you want us to do? Showing emotion shows strength. So be strong and show emotion.
3. Seek respect, not attention.
There isn't more you can say about this. Attention is only temporary. Respect goes a long way.
4. Even the most beautiful people wake up with bed head.
Even though Beyoncé said, "she woke up like this," she didn't. She had to get up and get ready just like you and me. It's weird to think that Queen B isn't flawless from the beginning, am I right? Accept your bed head and know you're just as beautiful in the morning as you are at night.
5. You should be a priority. Not an option or a backup plan.
Listen up, ladies. You should never become a man’s backup plan. If he "has his options open," he does not realize how beautiful you truly are. That man must be crazy not to snatch you up. You should always be a priority, I'm not talking about the priority where he feels obligated to talk to you, oh no, the type of priority where he's the one willing to put in all the work. The one who knows everything is a two way street, and y'all are walking it together. That's the type of man you need.
6. Always trust your womanly instincts.
If you feel something is not right, don't do it. If you feel over the moon, by all means go for it. You're are the best judge of character. You can't always believe what other people say, so you have to trust those instincts. I swear they are like a super power, now use them and fly.
7. It's not how tall or skinny you are, but how happy you are with your self-image.
Do something for me right now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. You think you're too fat? No, you're beautiful. Think you're too skinny? No, you're beautiful. Hate the way your skin looks? No, you are beautiful. God may have created us all different, but he made us all equally beautiful. After all, we are created in His image.
8. You are a goddess, embrace it.
I don't know who told you differently, but don't listen to them. They must be blind to not realize the masterpiece you are.
9. When someone tells you "you're beautiful," believe them.
They aren't lying to you. They are telling the truth. Start believing them and start believing in yourself.
10. When you need something to believe in, start believing in yourself.
You're beautiful, you're gorgeous and all around amazing. Start realizing that. You are your biggest supporter. Start believing in yourself and start realizing you can, stop telling yourself you can't.
