Womanly Always

"You're allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously."

Womanly Always
Huffington Post

Gender stratification is a hot topic of debate it seems like these days, women are beginning to stand up and fight for the equality they believe they should have with men and striving to shatter traditional house rules. While I don't agree that women should have to stay home to raise a family, I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I believe there are certain things that overall women are naturally better at than men. I also believe that men overall are just better at certain things; of course, there's always exceptions in any situation, but that's not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about is what it means, to me, to be womanly always.

To be womanly always to me means to be strong. To be strong enough to overcome the unknown obstacles life will inevitably throw at us. To be strong enough to keep going when you feel like quitting and to be strong enough to lift a friend up when they're down. A strong woman knows when to say no, when she's had enough, and when it's time to walk away.


To be womanly to me means to love before hate. Take the opinions other people have given you about people and let them go in one ear and out the other. Choose to love people, despite others opinions about them. A woman who loves is a woman who can be nothing but loved.


Independent: a woman who is independent can conquer the world as far as I am concerned. A woman who is determined to obtain her goals on her own is a force to be reckoned with.


To be womanly is to know that you are beautiful and that you are not perfect, but that you are learning from your mistakes every day to become a better you tomorrow.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
