Girl Power Goes a Long Way With 25 Memes for Confident Girlies Who Have Each Other's Backs

Being a girl can be the best thing that's ever happened to us, especially when other girlies cheer us on and celebrate our small victories.

I've always loved being a girl, mainly because I come from an all-female household. I have no brothers or male cousins… truly, the only man I interacted with before starting school was my own dad, and that made me pretty nervous around boys growing up. But I've always felt so comfortable with girls, and I love them… I love us! And I love that men don't really understand what it feels like to be a girl, since it comes from within us and is hard to put into words. But it's that feeling when you're in the girls' bathroom, and somehow we treat each other like we've been friends forever. That's girlhood, and I'm here for it.

Now, being a woman comes with a set of expectations from society, and sometimes it takes a toll on us, and it's hard to keep up. Being put together, smelling nice, smiling all the time, working out, eating healthy, being nice to your parents, having a clean house… I mean, the list goes on and on, and I think you get how tiring it can be. I'll say, though, that what keeps us going is surrounding ourselves with other women who get the point and are there to support us and help us become that confident, empowered version of ourselves.

Since I have very few male relatives, I grew up with female empowerment and support. I can't tell you how many times we have gathered for an all-girls family dinner, and it's been therapeutic and, in some cases, healing. Because when you surround yourself with only women, there's this energy that comes from being for one another. It's support entirely, and we get each other's problems and worries. Of course, in my family we have different ages, and most of us are in different moments of our lives, but still, we have advice, a tissue, or a hug to give when it's needed.
But hey, we don't just do therapy. We also have an awesome time, and actually, the point of getting together is that we like to gift our clothes to the younger generation of girls. So, before dinner, my mom would force us to go into our closet, take everything out, and pick items we hadn't worn in the last three months to give to my younger cousins, and my older cousins would give me their clothes. And it worked: we saved money, and we even helped the environment. If you didn't know, that's a pretty common practice for girls in the same family. Anyway, I was thinking about my family when I came across that empowerment that comes alive when women get together to support and cheer each other on. And to honor all of the amazing women in my family and the ones that are yet to come, here's this story for y'all.
