Why Be What You Are Not?

I have made mistakes, learned from them and I will continue to do so. We all make mistakes. We all have our faults. We need to remove this image we have of what we think perfection is and live lightheartedly, humbly, and fun!

We need to laugh at ourselves and not take life too seriously. Life is a lot of fun when we care a little less about things that don’t matter. The Virtuous Woman isn’t about being better than others, but about being the best that we can be! It is about being better than what we are doing now that doesn’t satisfy our soul. 

This isn’t an elitist blog. Those kinds of blogs can make us feel bad about ourselves for doing anything different. I want everyone to have the freedom and space that they need. I am not going to manipulate you or coerce you into thinking the same way I do. I don’t need you to! I don’t want you to – that kind of sounds creepy anyway.

I am not going to tell you how to be proper or live the “right” way. Being proper sounds boring anyway. Let’s have fun, but let’s also respect each other! People will have different opinions on what they think is proper. I don’t worry so much about other people. I let people live their own lives. For example, I don’t shave and many people will find that gross or not proper for a lady. I don’t care and I do what is best for me. That is what I mean.

Also, many cultures view what is proper and not differently. When traveling it is smart to be aware of the culture of the country you are visiting and be respectful.

We are all beautiful and unique. We should enjoy our differences that make us unique individuals. Being virtuous means having high morals and values. Despite the many differences in choices people make in life, a lot of people agree on kindness, love, respect, etc. This blog will share what living a virtuous life means for me, but if it means something different for you that is okay.

It doesn’t matter if you want to be a mother or a homemaker or not one day. You can still learn something from this blog. For those that do want to do those things, you’ll of course also learn something here! I don’t want anyone to feel ashamed of doing anything different. These are just my ideas and you have the right to have your own!

Also, I would like to make a point that this blog will not be about shaming others. For example, just because I like to dress a certain way, but you dress differently doesn’t make you (or me) any less of a woman, mother, wife, homemaker, etc. Embrace your own unique style. Just because we are or plan on being homemakers doesn’t mean we have to be the same. That would be boring. We don’t and shouldn’t think we are less than anyone else, stupid, or incapable. Don’t compare yourself to others. Just be yourself and do what you want. If someone does something you want to do, do it! If not, don’t! Make it your own. It’s YOUR life! Do what makes you happy.

That is all we really can do anyway. Take care of yourself and the ones close to you.

I send my love into this world! I hope you enjoy this blog.

Thank you very much!
