It is said that in different cultures a little girls would dress up in front of their fathers in a long flowing dress , the prettiest dress she could find, and she would spin. As she was spinning she turns to her father and says .. daddy aren't i lovely? Am i lovely daddy?
That is the question that modern women ask themselves and are born with that longing, to feel lovely. Whatever the voice is that answers back she carries with her. From very early in life the message she is sent she keeps. Somewhere in between life, and all the things that can go wrong, she stops spinning. She doesn't think she is lovely anymore, maybe she has forgotten, or maybe she never knew. Is there a way to get her to understand, that even if she fell down, even if she tore her dress, that she is lovely no matter what, in the eyes of her father? The world takes every opportunity it can to rip that truth away from her. It preys of that innocence.
Little boys grow up asking, " Am i good enough?" Am i enough? Do I have what it takes to be a man? It is a struggle for confidence.
It is in asking these questions that we sometimes leave the door open for a lie. Will someone please answer these questions with the right answer? So that we don't have to ask anymore. We are lost in places we don't belong trying to find the answer.
