This has been a journey I have been on for most of my life. I hear the word "beautiful" used to describe me and I scoff. I don't see it. I see every single flaw and I fight against the positive descriptive words that people use.
Does it make it untrue? No. One of my favorite memes that I've seen is the comparison in roses and sunflowers, fireworks and Christmas lights. They are all beautiful, but they're unique to one another.
Just like women! We are all so special and unique. I sat in a Women's Studies class and we were discussing intersectionality. We are not JUST women. We are very similar, yet so diverse. Some of us are mothers, others are not. Some work outside in the world, others stay home. Some have jobs, some go to school. Some are married, others in relationships, others are single. And the list goes on.
YOU are special! In a time when this virus is keeping us in our homes and some are glued to social media, we get lost in the world that exists behind our screens. This is a reminder for you to not get lost in everyone else's idea of happiness. You don't know the struggle behind the pictures. The happy images you see about someone's life isn't always the truth.
I wanted to create a safe space for women to meet up, comment, share their stories, and find support. That is why this blog was created. There will be no bashing allowed. This is a no judgement zone.
So, let's come together and have conversations about what makes us beautiful. One of these days in the near future, I will share my journey and story for you all. If you would like to share your story, please comment here and I'll contact you. You have no idea who needs to hear your story, who needs to know they're not alone, and the difference you could make.
Have a blessed day! You are loved!
