You all know I am a mom. Four kids, 3 boys and 1girl (the oldest)... I see her everyday, growing right in front of me. Smiling, feeling pain when her feelings get hurt and showing me each and every moment, just how beautiful, smart and loving she is. So why the fuck are we, society, not showing these girls how beautiful they are? How perfect they are? Instead, we are letting fashion magazines, movies, and computer programs show them. And the end result is a fuckin lot of girls (pre-teen to 18) who are arrogant, spoiled, narcissistic, self-destructive, addicted (from material things to drugs), self-centered, self-righteous females who are illiterate, immature and irresponsible.
I watched something tonight that showed me I am on the right track. I validate my children every opportunity I can, especially my daughter. For one, the world is a cruel, heartless place that will devour a female in a matter of minutes and secondly, I don't want her to go through what hundreds of thousands of girls go through. Watch the video and you will understand. Don't judge it... just get the message it's sending... And if it doesn't tug at your heartstrings, you shouldn't be breathing!
Until tomorrow,
LaVonda
