She's a Bit Much

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You mean like a bonus french fry in the bottom of the bag?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Like a champagne shower? Like triple texting good news?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Like buying coffee for the person behind you in line?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Or did you mean 'a bit much' like an unexpected upgrade to business class / or theme parties / or the band pretending to go off stage and then coming back for an unforgettable encore?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Perhaps you were referring to that thing of being astonished by a sunset / or how puppies flop around when they learn to run / or the way some people take karaoke really seriously?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Maybe you just meant sprinkles / confetti / balloon drops / witty comebacks / generous tips / fireworks / waterslides / serotonin / cherries on top / and the fact that maybe we were put on this planet simply to enjoy ourselves? Then yes, I agree—she is a bit much.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Aren't we so lucky she's here?

What makes me more beautiful than being a safe space for other women? | West Palm Beach Boudoir Photographer

What makes me more beautiful than being a safe space for other women? | West Palm Beach Boudoir Photographer

Then, I saw my friend’s story on social media. It was a photo of me holding her daughter. It read, “Get yourself a community where your kids are loved like family.”

I was jolted back into reality. 

The people I love the most aren’t looking at my insecurities. They are loving me in my strengths (and I have a lot of those). She feels safe with me holding her child. 

What makes me more beautiful than being a safe space for other women?

What makes me more beautiful than my husband wanting to slow dance with me in the kitchen?

What makes me more beautiful than my daughter asking me to sing that silly song again and we both belly laugh until we’re crying. 

Society has told me that my value is in keeping up my youthful appearance.

But, love has shown me that my being could never be dimmed by what the mirror reflects.

Women, look at your reflection in the eyes of those who hold you dear, not by what you tell yourself when you look in a piece of glass.
