Be sexy, but classy. Be fun, but grounded. Be different, but relatable. Just be you. Be the woman you want to be.
So Marilyn Monroe may not have been the perfect housewife or a brain surgeon, but she was beautiful and proud. She owned her sexuality. She spoke her mind. It wasn't about prancing around in the buff or twerking your booty… it was showing a little collarbone or a slip of the thigh and being proud of what you have. OWN. IT. WOMAN!
Maybe you're not a size zero or a big busted broad but you have amazing calves and know how to rock a set of red lips- all that matters is that you be you! I have seen stick thin pretty girls that are constantly searching for approval from others and I have seen curvy beautful women who own their bodies (and minds!) with the confidence and poise of a lioness…. who is more beautiful??? CONFIDENCE ladies! It doesn't matter if you are big or small, if you are confident and feel beautiful, others will see that beauty shine. (There isn't anything wrong with a little makeup or a pair of great spanx to enhance what your mama gave you though!)
Now, I am not the most confident woman and have so many insecurities, but that is what this is about. Recognizing that though I may not look like a Victoria's Secret model, I am beautiful and I should feel beautiful. If I could have anything in the world (besides an unlimited Betsey Johnson shopping spree) it would confidence and a perfect credit score.
Don't just be proud of what you look like on the outside- be proud of what makes you different from everyone else! We are not robot bitches. I would die from extreme boredom if I had the same conversation with every Jack and Jill I ran into. We all look, smell, speak, and act differently. I grew up with different people, in different places, listening to different music, and eating diffrent foods than you. Every experience of my life has lead to the person I am today.
NO ONE CAN BE ME.
We should all appreciate the indidvduals we are. My best friend is organized and knows her limits… I, on the other hand, am a hoarder and extreme procrastinator. Any of those things (except for maybe procrastination) can be good or bad in certian amounts, but we balance eachother. Another one of my friends is a conservative republican who is sooo opposite from me you would think that we would rip eachothers hair out. On the contrary, we have some of the best conversations I have ever had with any of my friends! If I wanted to hang out with the exact same person as I am I would sit at home. by myself. all damn day. BORING.
As much as I want to try new looks and find what really makes me feel GORGEOUS, I also want to learn new things and expand my brain. Confidence comes from the inside and the out. Test yourself, experiment, and perfect what makes YOU happy.
So here it goes… here is to finding MY confidence, trying new things, setting goals (and not forgetting them), and not letting fear or laziness stop me from being the woman that I want to be. You only live once people.
