Being a Girl is Awesome

I am proud to be a girl. Seriously I am. In today's society people would have us believe that we need to be like men to be valued, appreciated and successful. False. Whoever came up with the idea that equality means sameness? We are indeed equal to men but we are not and should not ever be the same. The differences between the sexes are not limited to just our anatomical makeup, and all of those differences should be celebrated, not forgotten. 

"The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." 

- Margaret D. Nadauld

Be proud of your feminity and all that comes along with it. We do not need to be men to be equal to them. Equality comes along with simply being human. Being a woman is a beautiful, wonderful thing and I thank my lucky stars every day that I am.
