Happy Women's Day!

For today, I'd like to acknowledge & thank all of the "complicated" women out there. You're not "too much". You're more than enough for who & what matters in your life. You're the necessary ingredient to the mix. Yes, you know what it's like to blame yourself when things go wrong because you're passionate & brilliant, but stop for a second. It's not all of your fault. You are magnificent! How powerful and GORGEOUS you are!

If someone, female or male(related or not) tries to get you to stop being "complicated" just realize that they're basically telling you to be someone that they can handle. Ew!

And with this realization, think of how unreasonable it is to be someone else for another person for the sake of saving that person from mental confusion.

To the women who are afraid of their own depth, I hope that one day you grow brave enough to dive deeply into yourself. I hope that you will be able to see how powerful you actually are. Your power comes from inside. Trust me on this. I know. I'm living here with you on this earth & I'm strong enough to tell you that I truly know. Your physical appearance is merely the accent that you make it to be for the soul within your body. For your mind. Remember this: God is a woman too.

Growing up, especially with the foolishness of Seventeen magazine writers teaching young girls to water themselves down for guys so as to not give them a headache, it was damn difficult to be what I consider real. Seventeen and other sources also went in the other crazy direction of telling girls to take the relationship full-on single handedly which often resulted in girls blaming themselves for the demise of the relationship and...shaming themselves for being emotional.

Listen to me, "complicated" women: IT'S NOT ALL OF YOUR FAULT! And fuck anyone who is blaming you for everything going wrong.

Side note: Amy Schumer relayed my point of view with her quotes defending Jubilee on the The Bachelor. The woman lost her family, is a sergeant in the military yet...she's "too complicated". Well, defending our country, death & being human is complicated. Chris Harrison needs a major reality check.
