Can We Retire the Phrase “Real Women,” Please?
This made me surprisingly happy. It’ll make you happy too, probably.
Here is an excerpt:
Let me remind you:
She is beautiful
And she is beautiful
And she is beautiful
And you and I are beautiful, too.
We all have parts of us that are glossy and smooth. We have parts that we shine forth proud as peacocks.
And we all have parts that we want to hide away.
(Even she does)
Your beauty is a true story.
The parts that are unique are the parts that make it interesting.
The woman next to you has a different story; it isn’t better than yours, it isn’t worse.
Let’s remember the parts that we want to flaunt and be proud about, that shine forth, are no less “real.” We needn’t be embarrassed by our “ugly” or our “imperfect”…or, importantly, our “proud.”
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”
~ Marianne Williamson
