Today, I'm using this blog to help myself, and the girls out there who feel like I do. We are strong, and talented, and beautiful, and well...awesome. I know all of these things about myself. I am all of those things. But I have days, like today, where I don't feel like it. I have weeks, like the last one, where I'm not so strong, not so pretty, not so talented.
As girls, we all walk around comparing ourselves to the pretty girls and the smart girls and the ones who seem like they've got it all. No one has it all, but we damn well feel like we should, all the time. We grow up with Cinderella and Aurora and Snow White and they get it all in the end. And our generation is the I-want-it-now kind. Every day there's a newer, better, faster way. We want it now. We want prince charming, we want the wisdom and the beauty and the grace, and we freakin deserve it too! And when Charming isn't who we thought and when someone beats us at what was supposed to be our own game, we cry. Girls cry. Even boys cry sometimes.
So I'm taking today to tell you (and mostly me) that it's okay to cry. It's okay to feel like you aren't good enough for anyone else. It's okay to feel like you gave it everything you had and lost it all. Just don't forget to be good enough for you. If you aren't good enough for you then there is something you need to change. Even the strongest women have moments of weakness. It's what we do in those moments that make us who we are. Get help if you need to. Eat cake if you need to. Go on a girls date if you need to. Cry, even if you don't need to(because trust me, you need to.) Whatever you do, make sure you know that those feelings will go away someday and that you will be strong again. You have a place in this world, and it's all going to be okay.
