What I think feminism is | Real Talk

Hi my loves,

Today I wanted to share something with you that is close to my heart and may be to many of you too. It's the idea of feminism and not the idea which is exposed through the media as this angry burn-your-bra-in-anger kind of way, I think it's much simpler than that. I was on Tumblr today whilst procrastinating when I should be study for my exam tomorrow, and I came across this quote and it hit me, this is feminism. This is what it is to be a women in a simple explanation, so I want to share it with you. 

"“I am the girl who prefers to spend her Friday night curled up with her pillow, reading a good novel, and I am also the girl who likes to go out on a Saturday night and dance until the DJ plays his last song. I am the girl who wants to wear beat up converses and an oversized sweatshirt, and I am also the girl who owns over sixty dresses and too many shoes to count. Why did it become okay to say one is better than the other? Because I am all of that." 

I think what I love about this quote is that as women we don't have to be defined as one thing, like a tick in a box, which describes who we are. I think that we are an assortment of different emotions and wants and needs which can change daily, so we can't be defined by one word or explanation. I like the idea that also, your not always what people expect you to be. I mean you can change completely from the perspective people see you as one day from the next and as people we are constantly evolving. Also the idea that it mainly focuses on women in this quote I believe is important! Don't let society define you my loves. Be who you want and who you truly are.

I hope you all have an amazing rest of the week and a great weekend! 

Love always

Court
