Have you seen the Always™ commercial? The one about being like a girl? I just saw it for the first time today. I liked it.
A lot.
What does doing something “Like a girl” mean to you?
I get that “Like a girl” was supposed to have negative connotations in the beginning of the commercial. The people were being silly, over-the-top, goofy-girlie.
But here’s the deal.
I am a girl.
I love like a girl.
I work like a girl.
I mother like a girl.
I wife like a girl.
I walk like a girl and talk like a girl.
I laugh and cry like a girl.
I run like a girl, throw a ball like a girl, and hit like a girl.
I sing like a girl, think like a girl, cook like a girl and clean like a girl.
I mow the grass like a girl, drive a car like a girl and travel like a girl.
I am a loyal like a girl, trustworthy like a girl and I encourage just like a girl.
I share my heart like a girl, listen like a girl and show compassion like a girl.
I smile like a girl and am kind like a girl.
I best friend like a girl.
I adult like a girl.
I create like a girl, shop like a girl and cuddle up with a good book like a girl.
I play sports like a girl.
I love like a girl because I am a girl.
I have your back like a girl.
I live from a strong, courageous part of my heart just like a girl.
Because being a girl is an amazing thing, not a secondary citizenship.
We are girls. We are in this to together like girls, and to do anything like a girl is to show the world who we really are.
Live life fully, like a girl.
Engage with others like a girl.
Embrace the journey.
Just like a girl.
