MOODY BITCHES

I laugh when I think of the term ‘Moody Bitches,’ mainly because it’s sooooo true!! It used to offend me until I finally learned to embrace it! As a woman we understand that starting at about age 12 something changes, that something is our moods. Happy to sad, mad to mellow moods that can happen in zero to 60!! It’s frustrating as hell as we grow up, but as time goes by we do learn how to manage this part of being a woman. It gets to the point where we know it’s happening and we either laugh it off or cry it off! We call our girlfriends to help talk us off the edge of our crazy thoughts and we learn to not make any life changing decisions during this time. It used to be ‘why is this commercial making me cry,’ to ‘Yep I know on a ‘normal’ day this commercial wouldn’t make me cry, but this isn’t a normal day!’

Women are strong and amazing, we have such a high capacity to love and nurture along with the ability to be tough when needed. We also have our moods, and the trick I think is to recognize when our moods are valid and when we are just being moody bitches! And really not to take ourselves too seriously, so what today you are feeling a little blue, don’t beat yourself up and don’t go to the edge in hating yourself either, just realize that some days are just gonna be like that! We were created after all to have a heightened sensitivity when it comes to emotions and to be able to use them for good, the key is to learn how to balance them and keep ourselves in a positive place and that helps this to be A Wonderful Life!!
