A Real Woman

What is being a woman according to society?

It is having long, silky hair and perfectly painted nails.

It is sitting up straight, ankles crossed

It is eating small bites and being too skinny to be healthy

It is being expected to smile and accept compliments humbly

Being a woman is cleaning the house and taking care of children

It is listening to your significant other and complying

It is not being real, though.

What does a real woman look like?

It looks like being perfectly pampered or being a mess

It is standing up for what you believe in and never letting someone put you down

It may be staying at home with children, but it may also be working 9-5 every week

It is long, beautiful hair or short, spunky hair

It is being strong and opinionated, or quiet and easy going

A real woman finds her true self and lets it explode so no one can ignore it

A real woman may not have female body parts, but she is still real.

A real woman has a beautiful, strong, shameless soul.

You are a real woman.

Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
