What is it that makes us women feel beautiful? What is femininity? How can I really
embrace my own self and my own femininity?
Since I've been down here at school sensed myself becoming more and more aware of what others think, what others look like, their styles. I've become, in essence, more self conscious.
WHY????
I've talked with friends and roommates, I've seen them obsessively eat small amounts of food. I've seen us all comparing and competing. And then, one day I actually recognized what it was we were doing. Since that day of reckoning, I've actually pondered the idea of beauty often.
We just want to be loved. That's it. The bottom line.
We want love stories like Allie and Noah, like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, like Elder Richard G. Scott and Jeanene:) We want to be the object of love, and the embodiment of it.
Media has told us that we need to look or act a certain way to embrace this, but it is just the opposite, we need to embrace ourselves. Love ourselves.
Here are some of my favorite quotes about loving ourselves and embracing our feminine beauty!
"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
~Audrey Hepburn
"“deep beauty”—the kind of beauty that shines from theinside out. It is the kind of beauty that cannot be painted on, surgically created, or purchased. It is the kind of beauty that doesn’t wash off. It is spiritualattractiveness. Deep beauty springs from virtue."
~Elaine S. Dalton
"People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
~Eliabeth Kubler-Ross
And so my dear, wonderful, beautiful women:) Let us love ourselves?
One Week. For this one week, when you begin comparing yourself to others think about what makes YOU happy? Service, Love, Fun, Spontaneity. Find your femininity, or make it! Life is to be created, not found! See your curves, your beauty points, find what you love about yourself. If you like wearing makeup, do it! If you don't, don't:)
If any of you try this out, please let me know how it affects you:) Hopefully someday we can all change this enough that we "rid ourselves of vanities;)"(Thanks Jason).
Joy comes from light. God has given us His light to shine, the light of Christ. So let's live the idea that " Happiest Girls are Prettiest" and love ourselves a little more.
