A common conversation in my bathroom (one I share with my two lady roommates) is how we get dolled up for other girls. We spend hours on our hair, makeup, and outfit picking. Then we go out into the world to be judged by other girls, and I absolutely find myself doing the same. This is all at 25 years old. Way past junior high. It is just not necessary or acceptable. I find myself criticizing without knowing it. IF I catch myself in mid-critique I am baffled at why I am thinking any negative thoughts about that particular person. I do it subconsciously. How is this changed??? I don't know, but there are people out there trying to.
The other day Gabby and Gelle (the high school girls I "nanny") told me about how the Kind Campaign came to their school. They were very impressed...mostly because they had an assembly that kept their attention. I watched the trailer for the documentary. I am very impressed! The two girls who started the campaign aren't doing anything extravagant. They are just simply asking girls to be kind to one another. To think about how their words and actions impact each other.
Watch the video and pass it along to any girls in your life who might benefit. We all need to learn how to love one another, because before we learn how to honestly love one another we won't truly be able to love ourselves.
