I don't really consider myself a girly girl. I am not a tom-boy but I am not the giggly, dress in pink type of lady either. And I am sorry to admit, that I have never admired the girly girls, much. I think it is a shame how much we make people be all one thing and none of the other. There is so much that makes up a person, a woman.
I am thinking about the sort of woman I want to be and one aspect of that is one who is being able to make myself feel delicate. When you take care of yourself sometimes it is hard to remember to take care of yourself, you know? And in some point of my life, I came to the false conclusion that to be strong meant that you had to not be feminine.
How wrong I was. So now, I am working on a new understanding.
For me, there are small things that contribute to feeling like a lady and I enjoy them. Today it was my new soap which made luxurious lather and smells sweet and wonderful. It was called Buttercream Cupcake. (Is there a more divine name for soap?) How could I not feel soft, feminine and pretty with such a soap?
So smelly soaps, pretty earrings, sparkling nail polish, all of that reminds me that I am more than capable; I am also a girl.
And girls rule.
love
me
