Sisterhood Unite!

To my dear little sisters:

I must share with you my experience with naysayers. Time over time, you ,as a female, will encounter many naysayers who convey to you negative messages such as you are not beautiful, you are not smart enough or too smart, you are weak, etc.

I was recently told that boys do not like girls who are funny and intelligent - unless you are hot. (Yes, I gasped when I heard such comment being verbalised - shocking). I cannot believe female oppression being so prevalent even today - "modern" times.

My dear little sisters - be as smart and as funny as you are - embrace all that God has given you. You are a creation of God and therefore you are always a beautiful being. By saying otherwise, the naysayers may have just spat in the face of God by negatively criticizing God's creation.

Do not fear success and self-sufficiency - by being able to take care of yourself, you essentially give yourself freedom to be curious, freedom to learn, freedom to explore, and most importantly freedom to love.

You are all beautiful in the eyes of the enlightened ones.

Om namah shiva ya

p.s. If someone tells you that you are not hot, just tell them that you are more so an editorial beauty over a commercial one - something useful I picked up from watching way too many hours of Top Model.
