happy girl day 💖
ft. an ode & imploration to the girls
international women’s day. the day of the girl. iwd. whatever you call it, it’s a beautiful day to be a woman✨.
because women are amazing. and while we should remind ourselves of this everyday, i love that there’s a day where the whole world is reminded of it too.
this is a post to celebrate you, but also one to call you higher. i dedicated a whole post to loving yourself last month, but i think it’s necessary to mention it again.
because granted, we can’t control the way people treat us. but we can treat ourselves with more love and kindness and grace. we can treat ourselves with more respect. we can start walking into rooms with our heads held high, fully confident in who we are and what we can do.
because we can do a lot.
like just take a few moments to think about pregnancy and childbirth, and tell me that we aren’t a bunch of superwomen. think about all the times they’ve told us that we’re not strong enough, and that we can’t. but then, we did.
you may think you’re “just a girl,” but you’re not “just” anything. you’re a wonderful girl who can do wonderful things.
so it’s time to stop playing small and start dreaming big. truth is, you’re capable of so much more than you think.
and another thing: you’re allowed to cheer her on. it’s not a competition, so let’s cut the comparison crap, ditch the jealousy, and celebrate each other instead. ‘cause when you think about it: her win is our win.
happy international women’s day to all the girlies out there. stay amazing 🤩
