A few quotes by some of the many women I admire. Women that evoke confidence, strength, resilience, grace and beauty, both inside and out. Quotes that help me realize as women, we all face the same insecurities and that we never know what life holds for each of us. Life can be tough for everyone but especially so for women regardless of age. Whether young or old, short or tall, lean or curvy, light or brown skinned and all backgrounds, we are judged daily. Sadly it's the way our society is. But just know in your heart that the only opinion that matters is how YOU feel about yourself. When you look in the mirror each day, know that the girl looking back at you is perfect in every way. She has her own special qualities, she is unique in her own way and that she is beautiful just the way she is ๐ I try to tell myself this everyday ๐ Life is hard enough, be kind to yourself and those around you. Learn to love โค๏ธ and respect yourself as well as others. And expect nothing less in return from those around you. Happy #internationalwomensday 2024, which by the way should be every day imho ๐ And I love Lizzo ๐ฅฐ #womenarespecial #perfectineveryway #loveyourself #respectyourself #youarebeautiful #bodypositivity #youarespecial #dontjudge #lifteachotherup #womenarestrong #womensupportingwomen #britespotinmyday #audreyhepburn #mindykaling #merylstreep #mayaangelou #ladygaga #beyonce #jenniferaniston #rihanna #gwenstefani
