SKIRT/PURSE/CARDIGAN: Sourpuss Clothing  SHOES: AK Anne Klein _____________________________________________________________________ As you guys know by now, I try to keep it real on my blog. I have something important I want to talk about with everyone. But first a quick update! I’m moving tomorrow. I’m not going to have my things back any time soon. And a week back I was in California (I had an amazing time). I’m not really in the headspace to write about it currently because since I came back things haven’t been so hot and seem to be getting *long sigh* worse. I apologize for my lack of posts or answers to questions. I still have that video to upload. Milk & Twee may very well continue hibernating for the winter but I hope to have your continued support <3 As for today’s cute outfit, I am a proud Sourpuss Clothing gal and the pictures speak for themselves!  Now, the point. What makes a strong woman? These past few weeks & today especially I learned that despite our world’s almost universal ideology that to be a woman is to be self-sacrificing (both physically & emotionally)…to be strong you must first be strong yourself. You must love, honor, and respect your needs. Your personhood. Young women are brought up told to please. Not just men, but all. Sit pretty, do not cause chaos. No drama. “You’re so emotional”. “She’s crazy.”We must be compliant. We must entertain. We must help, and smile doing it. So much of a girl seems to lie in the eyes of others; friends and strangers alike. Our worth measured in either our beauty or how much of ourselves we give to others.  Respect yourself to know when enough is enough. Respect yourself enough to let others know you can’t be there, that you can’t do it. It isn’t failure when you put yourself first. I am trying so hard to believe that. It also takes a very special person to acknowledge that. The humanity in being “unable”. Regardless of gender, it’s something that affects us all. You owe it to others, but most important yourself, to say “I’m sorry, but I can’t”. We can not expect others to know when to pardon us, nor stand up for us.  To all of you out there, especially us girls, who put absolutely everyone and everything and every person’s lives/emotions before your own. Stop. You can’t carry someone from a fire with broken legs.  IG/FB/YT/TW  🍰
