There are so many people sitting on the very edge of girliness, who want to be girly but are waiting for someone to come along and force them to be girly. Sadly, for most this waiting can extend to years or even decades of missed opportunities to be happy.
When you do something today that makes you feel femme on the inside, you will be your own inspiration to do something femme again tomorrow. Even if you can’t go out with some makeup on or you aren’t ready for that yet, curling your eyelashes is something nearly invisible but feels super femme – it just needs practice.
Girly is a part of who you are deep inside. Give yourself self-affirmation and do whatever you are able so that you can connect with her inside.

We all want that external assurance that being girly is okay and we also long for the affirmation that it’s fitting for us. I have to admit that being girly is not always natural. Sometimes I feel like I have to force it. Yes, I want it and have a passion for it. I am also male with male responsibilities, and male-like expectations. Because of my location and elements, being boyish is most natural, even in my frilliest of panties. So, cultivating a girly “personna” doesn’t always come easy. It goes against the pattern. Any bit of acceptance and encouragement goes a long way to motivate me to be more like CandyHart.
As much as we would wish for someone to give us such affirmation, we should also know that this falls upon our own bra-strapped shoulders. We have to be our own “femininspiration.” Like getting up to our own alarm clock…on time…not on the third snooze…we have to take the initiative and push ourselves to be girly, act girly, talk girly, and as it is safe for us, to dress girly.
Even with my understanding, tolerating, sometimes playful wife, I don’t get the femininspiration that I wish I could get. So, I can’t expect it or count on it to come from her. That’s not her responsibility anyway. She’s my confidant, my partner, my friend, my intimate counselor. But, she isn’t my coach of girliness. That’s up to me. And, it’s up to you. You have to be your own femininspiration. You have to assure yourself of your own girly potential. You have to affirm to your own heart your girly place. You have to do this. Any encouragement helps, but it’s your panties–it’s your choice and being.
You can do it, friends!
