I was thinking about the recent news of Demi Moore's sad life. You never know what is truly going on with someone in private. She seems to have many successes in her life, three daughters, a sound and mature relationship with her ex, a seemingly blessed new marriage, a long career, yet she found herself alone and getting high. Why does she hate herself so much? This post isn't so much about Demi, but she does make an excellent case for why girls should love themselves. It is really sad to live an existence based on a need for approval and validation from others. Marriage or relationships can be a type of validation for a girl's worth in the world and when that relationship dissolves, many feel broken, unloveable, and full of self-hate. I think in Demi's case, there may have already been some fractures in her spirit to be partaking in such reckless behavior. I just wish that self love and acceptance was high on the priority list for the majority of girls and that we didn't grow into adulthood with fragile esteems always doubting our worth.
