Calling FrekeChild

I just have to say what an awesome quote you have at the end of your posts:



"Women are either goddesses or doormats." Pablo Picasso


I only noticed this recently, but it has really touched a nerve for me. Someone close to me is dealing with a bad relationship, and another friend of mine could do with a self-esteem boost and this quote keeps playing in my head, every day lately even.

I find myself saying it regularly now, and a few of my friends have stopped and had a second thought about it too.

Thanks for reminding a lot of us to be strong and have faith in ourselves.

I even told my friend the other day to start practising saying to herself "I am a goddess"everyday. She giggles everytime I say it to her, and it makes her (& me) feel better.

So thanks!

Awww...honey I''m glad that you like it. I find it empowering too.

I have a friend from middle school that I kind of keep in touch with, and she''s one of the doormats.

Which sucks to say, because I wish she were more of a goddess. But she has always had really low self-esteem and she lets guys walk all over her, while kind of pretending like she has confidence. She''s one of those girls that wears the really really low-cut tops and uses her body to attract guys instead of her brains or her heart.

And she really needs to learn the line, "An ex is an ex for a reason." because she always lets them back into her life no matter how badly they''ve treated her. Just because she''s terrified of being alone for the rest of her life. It is so sad to see. I wish she''d figure out that she has a lot going for her, and could concentrate on that instead of validating herself by the men she dates.

Anyway, I wish she''d take it to heart. Perhaps I will tell her to tell herself that she is a goddess everyday and maybe she''ll gain some faith in herself. I think it''s a great sentiment to concentrate on.

You sound like a great friend, she''s lucky to have you around telling her she is worth it.

That''t exactly the word I was searching for - empowering.

Well, hopefully you have empowered other woman too.

Thanks
