How to be a Lady

This is a blog I wrote a few months ago, but I guess I never finished it. I'll just Post what I had so far, and hopefully expound upon this subject later.

We, women, no longer value being respected, and therefore have no self respect. Once we finally reach the painful understanding that we have been living without respect we don't understand why. The most common response to this that I've seen is a girl/woman immediately things that there is something wrong with them, which is not the case.

The key here, ladies, is to BE a lady. Be respectable.

WE are all much more transparent than we think. You have to be the person you want everyone to think you are, and yet, what everyone else thinks is not what matters. Far from what matters actually, unless you want to be neurotic, mere copy of the person you are meant to be than you will know the true authority to which you should answer.

So, what does it mean to be a lady? Here are some the things on my list:

Be open to hear and value other's thought as well as your own.

What you think is important, and the reason behind it is possibly even more important. Reason is important.

A Lady does NOT hold her hand out asking the world to provide her with her needs (or as we often see... her wants. AKA luxurious unnecessary excess funded by others). No one will get your stuff together other than you... so you better get used to it and work for what you want, or else its just not going to happen.

A Lady stays with in her means and is diligent, bright, focused, looking towards the future, yet content to soak in the joys and lessons of the present.

A lady doesn't have "daddy" do the work for her, or anyone else for that matter.

A lady is always respectful of others no matter how she is treated, but that doesn't mean that she is a glutton for punishment or that she takes poor treatment lightly. She just handles it it a respectful way.

A lady admits when she is wrong or unsure and willing to work (hard) to change what needs to change.


That's all for now. What do you all think? What did I leave out? :)

Be blessed, for you are loved, valued and worth so much more than you know. Think about that today... <3

This years problems are the opposite from last years problems. Its a bittersweet feeling; when I finally faced what I feared. I no longer fear, but I long for something. Now that I am free from the net that ensnared me, I sense a form of loneliness or longing for that net.

Facing fears is a terrifying thing, but no one told me about this unique sense of loss that I would find in this empty and open sky. In this freedom I find that I miss the violent storm and the warm beams of the sun.

My freedom leaves me a bit empty, a little too neutral, a little too plain.

And yet, I am where I need to be; where I should be. I think I just need to take this peacefulness I have and continue to work on doing what I need to do... but also, maybe throw in a little bit what of what I want to do as well. I'm on a quest to do what is right and good in my life and I think having some fun is certainly allowed. :)
