The past few years I have very seriously worked on trying not to be girly. I bought clothes way to big on purpose. I swore off doing my hair, barley wore make up, and didn’t get dressed up unless I had to. But the truth is I love doing my hair, my makeup, and getting dressed up. I spent extra time trying to make it look like I didn’t care how I felt in the clothes I picked out. I started to convince myself that I didn’t deserve to feel “pretty”. I avoided being girly so I just could hide. So I could hide from myself and my own expectations.
It is time to stop hiding from myself. I do deserve to feel pretty simply because I am a daughter of God. He made us all beautiful and he sees us all that way. If I truly didn’t want to wear makeup, do my hair, and get dressed up and felt beautiful about it that would be OK. But because I am hiding it’s time to pull out my dresses, take the time to do my hair and makeup. It’s time to enjoy that I am a girl, and God made me beautiful!
