When I was a kiddo I wanted to be a boy so BAD. I played all of the sports, asked my mom to buy me Old Navy boy shirts/shorts, rebelled agains makeup of any kind, was SO angry when I first experienced my period. All of it. MAKE ME A BOY, Jesus! I didn't understand, I didn't grasp who I was, what my body was and could be. I have to be a boy so I don't have to care about makeup or wearing dresses, I would think.
But with age comes the ever so slight defogging of the eyes.
I realized that being a woman didn't mean I couldn't play sports. Didn't mean I HAD to wear makeup.. but could if I wanted, and how powerful that realization was.
I can be pretty and strong while wearing my husbands baggy shirts, or I can be sophisticated and wild with a face full of makeup on and an awesome tight dress. I could play sports just as good as the boys, while sporting my favorite mascara.
Ah the beauty of being a woman. Not only do we get the perks of being strong "like the guys", but we also get the wonderful blessing of being beautiful and fragile too, all at the same time.
I am so blessed to be who I am and I know I was made in the eyes of my creator. Beautiful, strong, caring, fierce, independent, and dependent all in one wonderfully made body. Embrace your womanhood with open arms. Love yourself and it will shine through you brighter than anything else.
