Call me crazy, but I believe women should be empowered and
lifted up more often. We need to support other women daily and encourage the
growth we see within them, no matter how small. A little compliment and reassurance
goes a long way. I am so tired of seeing women tear each other down with
slander and gossip, although I know I myself am not completely innocent 100% of
the time. I believe we as women, have it
hard enough with societal pressures, media imposed standards of beauty and
unreal ideals that surround us daily. I know that the women in my life all work
very hard to be the best version of their selves and deserve to be told
regularly that their strength, beauty, commitment and determination is
admirable – because it is.

If only every woman in the world could make a consistent
effort to bring up their fellow woman rather
than tear them down, I believe that the individual growth of many women
would soar. Of course, we live in the real world and things will continue the way
they currently are. Women will continue to badmouth, gossip and make snide
comments about one another… wouldn’t it be great if future generations didn’t have
to experience that woman on woman aggression? Wouldn’t it be great to feel as
if you could trust other women more readily and not live in fear that they will
stab you in the back the first chance they get?
