be your own heroine.

i have an obsession with heroines. the beautiful, confident girls in books and movies that save people and do amazing things.  i love it when the girl beats the boy to it, when she is the one who cracks the code. i especially love it when she doesn't really need a boy at all.

society today places far too much pressure on having that "man" and girls are becoming less of their own heroines.  they think that they're worthless without him, that he defines her.  i am telling you thins. you're wrong.  girls are amazing. they can accomplish amazing things.  a woman can truly do anything if she sets her mind to it.  girls have that innate nature to be loving, caring, and kind; and that's what they're (we're)  here for.

we're here for the precious little babies brought to this earth. we're here to rock them to sleep, to sing them lullabies at night, to cuddle them and comfort them.  we are here for the little children. to guide them, to help them learn, to bandage up their knees when they fall on their bike, to kiss them on the forehead and sing them primary songs when they're afraid.  we're here for the teenagers. to have patience with them, to lead them and teach them, to let them know that they always are loved, to let them know they are special.  we are here for the men. to be his comforter and his strength, to show him what love is, to be partners with him in raising precious souls, to have fun with him, to make him a better person.  we are here for the world.  to be examples, to love, to care, and to give.

The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender.

There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.

There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined.

We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith.

We have enough greed; we need more goodness.

We have enough vanity; we need more virtue.

We have enough popularity; we need more purity."
