“instead of seeing a nicely dressed, accomplished woman & assuming her life is perfect, let’s assume she was running out the door after wiping bottoms, cleaning up spilled milk & arguing with a rebellious teenager.
let’s assume she has fries stuck in between her car seats. let’s assume she has struggles with her parents, disagrees with her husband, & feels betrayed sometimes.
let’s assume all women are in this together instead of assuming that somehow some women escape the inevitable trials & messiness of life.
we don’t need to live apologetic lives where we leave messes out or come with wet hair so friends feel more secure.
but we also don’t need to deep clean or have fresh lipstick before we let someone in.
we can be open & real & weak because we aren’t ashamed of any of those things, & we can also be our best selves because we aren’t ashamed of that either.
let’s celebrate when someone shows up with a smile despite the messiness of life & notice when they don’t.
and let’s assume that we’re all pretty much the same. good days + bad days, wins + losses, heartbreak + joy, & in the end, all in need of a whole lot of grace.” - lisa owens
