This one goes out to all my ladies

I have love on my arms in six languages today. All that love, it's for you, all the ladies of all the world. Today, and every day, I want you to know that you are loved. You are appreciated. People care about you. You matter to someone. Your thoughts and opinions matter, as do your safety and well-being. I want to remind you, ladies, that your bodies are your temples, so treat them with love and care, and remember that no one can tell how wonderful you are on the inside unless you reflect that on the outside. To all the women who feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done, take a twelfth of one of those hours (ie. five minutes) for yourself, take off the invisible 'S' you carry around on your chest all day, and breathe; you'll be shocked at how much easier the rest of the day comes. To all the women who don't know where the rent money is going to come from, or how you're going to put food on the table for your kids, I admire your strength and resilience, and I know that if my mom could do it, you can do it too; you are in my thoughts and I hope the best for you. To all the women beating themselves up striving for perfection: stop and take a look around; you're already there. And to all the women who gave up their pursuits of happiness a long time ago, I want you to go stand outside and feel the sun shine on your skin, the rush of the wind through your hair, the laughter of the kids playing next door, and remember that while there may be darkness and pain and struggle and strife in this world, there is also joy and light and blessed moments of peace, and above all else there is love, and this is worth living for. To these women and more, I have love on my arms and it's all for you.
