We Are On The Same Team
Hello guys, and happy Motivational Monday!
I wanted to address something I witnessed the other day that made me feel so uneasy.
Not only is this something rather normal that I see within women (especially on social media), it’s completely heartbreaking to witness such a thing between us.
As I was scrolling through Twitter a couple of days ago, I noticed a conversation thread between 3 women: who all were degrading each other on looks, intelligence, and social/financial status. These women were being so brutal towards each other... calling one fat, calling the other stupid, all calling each other “hoes,” and also saying how they “weren’t shit and were broke as fuck.”
My heart just broke into a million pieces.
Why?
Why are girls so mean to each other when we are all on the same team? Every time I see a situation like this, I can’t help but to question myself. No matter the circumstance, whether it be because of jealously, competition, or just plain cruelness, there is absolutely no reason to degrade eachother in such mean ways.
Once I saw this, I started thinking of what can cause women to act in these ways.
In my past experiences, I've found myself being judged and degraded just for being with a woman's EX BOYFRIEND. The woman did not know me, had never met me, or knew anything about me personally. She got her girl-friends in on the pettiness and made me feel extremely low. The cruelness solely came from the fact that I was dating her ex boyfriend.
And this is why it needs to stop.
Us women need to stop feeling so jealous and competitive when it comes to other women.
Like I stated before, we all are on the same team. We all embody something beautiful within us, and that is what needs to be brought to the surface... Not whether you think she is ugly or broke.
Being a woman, we all have been called ugly atleast once in our lifetime. And let me ask you this: Was it a nice feeling when you were called ugly? Did it feel nice being judged and degraded for something like your looks? No, it doesn't. So let's stop the spread of this behavior.
Rather than comparing ourselves to other women we find superior, let's focus on our own beings. Let's focus on our own beauty, and appreciate all of the other different walks of life around us that also hold beauty.
I, myself, have compared my body and looks to other women, and it only ended up making me feel worse. Let go of the competition, and realize that we all need to appreciate each other.
Rather than feeling jealous over other women, let's appreciate what they bring to the table. Let's appreciate what YOU bring to the table. Drive your mind away from the negativity and feed off of the fact that WE ARE WOMEN, which is the greatest gift.
Women have come such a long way within society, and we need to stay together in order to proceed together. Once you realize the bond that we all carry within each other, complimenting other women becomes joyful.
We all are such beautiful, gracious creatures. Every single one of us are, whether you believe me or not.
Remember to stay humble and kind. Never make someone feel less than what they are just because you are troubled with your own inner issues. Focus on your self, your beauty, and thrive girls!
I love you all, and thank you so much for reading this blog post. I support every single walk of life, and I believe in appreciating all other walks of life.
May your walk be filled with joy, adventure, and serenity.
XOXO,
Hannah
