A real girl doesn't need make up, because she knows she's beautiful as she is.
A real girl doesn't need to get attention from guys to feel loved, because she knows that love takes many different forms (parents, siblings, friends, family!).
A real girl doesn't need to read magazines to find out what's in or out, because she has her own sense of style.
A real girl doesn't drink or smoke to fit in, because she knows that doing the right thing is more important than fitting in.
A real girl doesn't dummy herself down for a guy, because she knows that anyone who doesn't embrace her amazing mind isn't worth her time.
A real girl isn't defined by the mirror,
because she's defined by her heart.
Sometimes we fall into a trap. We begin to believe that to be a "real" woman, or a "real girl" we need to act, or dress, or talk, or behave a certain way. But we need to remember that being ourselves, makes us beautiful, amazing, strong, real women. It's who we are on the inside that makes us who we really are!
