Inspiring women
I was just watching an episode of garden force (a bit weird but it happened ).this is a new version which doesn't feature Alan anymore but Charlie is still there holding the force. I used to watch this show when I was younger and seeing Charlie now about 10 years on shes changed appearance. She's slightly more overweight and she's aged . But as I watched her I realised something, she's actually a really amazing woman. She has no make up on, her hair is tangled and wet from the rain, but the smile on her face and the fact she was enjoying what she was doing was really beautiful, and the more I watched her the more I saw her beauty.It made me realise how the role models and inspiring women we have in the public eye are such a negative thing for the new generation. They teach young girls that success is to be beautiful and high maintenance . have expensive things and this will ultimately lead to your happiness. Back to Charlie, she quite obviously loves gardening. She loves her work and you can see the passion she has for it all over her face. She works hard in the rain to make a bird feeder and looks so pleased when it's complete. I doubt at any point she thought , fuck this my hairs getting wet and my make up is running off my face. She only cared for her passion and that's truely inspiring to me .
For me with my sport, it's hard to keep a face of make up on . My skin suffers terribly with sweat bacteria and I get regular break outs. And having good hair is not a skill of mine, it's definitely getting mangled and ripped out on the mats. I've had people suggest I stop doing Mma because It could ruin my 'pretty face' . Some days I do wish I could be one of those women with acrylic nails, hair extensions and long lashes. But I wouldn't be able to have that and do Mma,So wheres the fun in that ? Inspirational women are the ones that do what they love without caring what others think. More women should be striving towards following their passion rather than following a kardasian on Instagram .
