Top 10 Things Women Should Never Be Ashamed Of

As women, we’re often raised with the idea that we should be ashamed of ourselves, from a number on a scale to aging or not having the perfect body. But don’t listen to those lies that society has been feeding you. You’re beautiful, smart, and valuable to this world. In short, you matter, and your story inspires others every day, so there’s no reason to be ashamed of this life that you’ve built for yourself. After all, no one is perfect, and that’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Here’s a list of the top 10 things women shouldn’t ever be ashamed of.

1.Weight

Say it again with me: weight does not equal worth! Whether you struggle to keep the pounds on or that new fad diet never seems to get you the results you want, remember that fitness and beauty come in all sizes and shapes. And get off social media, because that Instagram algorithm is in no way showing you what real women look like!

2. Your choice of partner or marital status

Whether you decide to get married, get a divorce, remain single, or be in a committed partnership without putting a title on it, you don’t have to explain your choices to anyone. You’re free to choose whatever partner you want—love is love, in the end.

3. Age

Age really is just a number. If you feel young, channel that youthful energy! You’re never too old to learn new things, and ultimately, age equals wisdom. Age helps us get to know ourselves better, and the older we get, the more comfortable we feel in our own skin. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

4. Wearing makeup

Go natural or contour to your heart’s desire. Whether you’re a natural girlie or you prefer to go out in all-glam (makeup can feel like armor for many), no one has the right to comment on that, and it doesn’t define your beauty. You should go out into the world how you feel best and ignore what the haters say.
