A rebellious woman has the “audacity” to shun all expectations of what
she should be. She is not concerned with people who want to police her
body, tell her what to do, or say things like “swearing is not
ladylike.” Fuck. Off. Being ladylike is so 1950s. A rebellious woman is
more concerned with being her and defining who she is. She sees all the
societal pressure that is put on women and simply does not abide. She
rebels against this crazy world which keeps trying to tell her who she
is. Nope. She’s not even listening.
1. You adamantly
refuse to be the kind of woman the world wants you to be. You shun the
status quo and loathe outdated clichés of what it means to be a woman,
knowing these antiquated views are holding us all back from expressing
ourselves fully.
4. You will never be small or less-than or weak. Your presence is a roar, never a whisper.
5. If you do care about getting older, it’s within the context of how much more you want to accomplish and do with your life. You resent the implication that all women bemoan getting older because they are so vainly attached to looking young. Bring on the wrinkles—they are a badge of honor.
6. You refuse to feel guilty for eating what you want or for not going to the gym. Your body, your fucking rules. No “guilty pleasures.” Only pleasures. Always.
7. You don’t judge any woman for her choices. Live and let live. How another woman defines being a woman is not your business.
8. You dress however you want to dress, refusing to listen to what anyone says about how women should or should not dress. Your clothes are not up for debate, nor are they up for being policed.
11. You know your life is yours to build or destroy. To play the victim is to be powerless and you reject the long-held belief that women are weak. You are a force to be reckoned with.
12. You understand that strength is not cold, distant, or unfeeling. You know that being soft against a hard world is where real strength comes in.
13. You’ll never say you don’t need anyone. There is nothing brave about hiding away from the world and people. It takes true courage to let people into your heart.
14. You completely and radically own your feelings and emotional reactions. And no, you’re not irrational simply because you feel. It’s irrational to be so numb to the world that you never feel anything at all.
15. You save yourself. You take responsibility for your own life and make yourself happy. You love yourself. You do not let anyone or anything dictate your worth.
16. You absolutely refuse to fall into the trap of being unnecessarily competitive with other women. This might be other people’s realities, but it’s not yours.
17. You know that confidence is what actually builds a life. Cowering and deferring to others for your self-esteem will never do anything except keep you trapped.
18. You have LIVED. You have fought the battles. You will never admit to your life being perfect, because that does a disservice to the work you’ve done.
19. You happily live in the messy. You screw up like anyone else. You get insecure. You cry. You get angry. You are not ashamed of your story.
20. You live by one motto: nobody gets to tell you who the fuck you are.
21. Except you. You get to tell you who the fuck you are.
1. 你強烈拒絕成為世界要你成為得樣子，那些社會傳統價值只會侷限我們活出真正的自己。
2. 你厭惡所有定義與標籤，為什麼女人要遵從那些東西？只有自己才可以決定自己是怎樣的人。
3. 你百分之百的接受自己。你知道力量不僅僅會因為被他人接受而茁壯，尤以在當你全然接受自己時更會變得強大。
4. 你拒絕當「渺小的 」、「比較差的」或「弱勢的」一方，你的存在應該要像是獅吼，而非耳邊細語。
5. 如果你擔心變老，那是因為你怕自己來不及做完所有想做的事，而不是害怕自己不再年輕。就算臉上出現皺紋，也不會影響你如何看待自己。
6. 你拒絕在享受美食的時候還要覺得有罪惡感，要不要上健身房也是你自己的選擇，你不會讓別人影響自己做事的方式。
7. 你從不論斷其他女人生活的方式，別人要怎麼過日子是別人的選擇，你只管做好自己。
8. 你只穿自己想穿的衣服，不盲目跟隨流行，也不會因為社會認定女孩該如何打扮就照做。
9. 你拒絕過狹隘沒發展性的生活，渴望用自己的雙眼看世界、走出屬於自己的路。
10. 「必須」這兩個字不會出現在你的字典裡。你相信在人生中，唯一「必須」做的事，是拒絕讓其他人告訴你該如何過你的人生。
11. 你深知唯有自己可以主宰命運。你不相信女性是比較弱勢的一方，且有勇氣去對抗這樣的想法。
12. 你明白「強勢」不等同於冷淡、距離感或沒感情，用溫柔去對抗這個世界才是真正的力量。
13. 你絕不會隨口說出「我不需要任何人」這種話。將自己隱藏起來、逃避人群和世界並不是真正的勇敢，讓他人走進自己的心房才是真正需要勇氣的舉動。
14. 你在該理性的時候理性，感性時也大方流露情緒，絕不會因為要讓自己看來強勢就對這個世界冷淡。
15. 在遇見任何困境時，你都有能力讓自己走出來。你懂得為自己的人生負起全責、讓自己活得快樂；你懂得如何愛自己，更不會讓任何人影響你的價值。
17. 你知道擁有自信、接受全部的自己才能真正開始過生活。因為他人的看法而畏縮或是覺得自己不夠好只會讓你永遠都走不出屬於自己的路。
18. 你用力過活，勇敢面對每次的挑戰，你絕不會說自己的的人生很完美，因為你愛自己曾經陷入絕望中也克服過來事實。
19. 就算在紛亂中你也懂得讓自己快樂的活下去。就像其他人一樣，你也會把事情搞砸、會因為沮喪而哭泣、會感到不安或生氣，但你也坦然面對這樣真實的自己，更不會為任何一部分的自己感到羞愧。
20. 你相信「沒有任何人可以告訴你你該成為怎樣的人」。
21. 當然除了你以外。因為你才是那個可以決定自己要成為什麼樣子的人。
