From a long time I have searched for grace in me. As a girl then and as a woman now it should have been very easy to find in me. I had my high school education in a girls’ school, so when I saw others I could see grace easily. The grace in the way managed themselves, and I thought there was something wrong with me. That I haven’t had that softness girls/women or supposed to have.
After a pretty long while, Why? I thought girls/women supposed to have grace. Who put that on my mind? Why? Particularly women? Trying to find the answer for these questions, I was able to see clearly. It wasn’t a character of a woman naturally it has been forced on her for years. Who is to say women have to be soft, kind or graceful. She can be anything and everything she wants. I turned out alright I now have no regret for not being graceful!
So girls never fit in any kind of definition of what you should be! Not grace, Not kind just be yourself. Your hair doesn’t have to be perfect all the time, it can be held up in the way you are comfortable with. Your face doesn’t have to look perfect with no pimple or tan, you shall feel presentable and that’s all it is. Being pretty is not a mandate neither being graceful is. It started from cleanser to now diamond attraction serum. Your skin doesn’t have to look like a diamond it just have to be cleaned up. The process of making yourself pretty is also just another way of destroying your natural self.! Spend more time on what you are!? than how you look.?!
Like the sunflower that stands tall and beautiful, doesn’t destroy itself to become the seed. It just stays as a flower in its entire cycle of life. So whatever life demands from you prettiness, sweetness, grace or kindness of motherhood DO NOT destroy yourself in the process of becoming one. BE YOURSELF and DO IT all, you can compromise on becoming one or two but never compromise on BEING YOUR TRUE STRONG SELF.
