A Healthy Reminder

I saw these the other day on Inspiration Bubble. She's always posting pictures from gorgeous homes and cute as a button vintage finds. If you love the retro 70's style, make sure she's on your reader list.

These words struck me, they touch on things that have been relevant recently.


This second one particularly. For some reason, girls in general (not all though) are really good at convincing themselves into relationships, that the guy is good enough, that they're not, that they should change.



YOU, my friend, are f***ing amazing. Anyone you're with needs to be aware of that, work to impress you, work to get you and work to keep you, not the other way around.

Can i agree more with you. It isn't about feminism, it is about loving yourself. God made us unique and we are not like..anything. We are women of great worth.
If he wants to have you by his side, he has to earn it, cherish you and take care of you, and in reward he will get the same and more.

It's amazing how we manage to manipulate ourselves blind sometimes over very-not-worth-it boys!

Also thanks for your comment ...I know I'm going to get a lot of angry comments because I dared to utter the taboo "You actually can't wear what you want" ...I do love a bit of controversy tho ...eeep!lol!

I love this. I myself have two teen sisters and worry about them not being appreciated in the future, for who they are.. Women tend to show their emotions more, which leads to being more vulnerable in comparison to the male species.. but the most important thing is to only allow yourself to give to a relationship when you will also receive in return.
