I’m not a perfect girly girl. I know that statement might come as a shock to some of you girls who have been reading my content over the past couple of years. The truth is that I try to be the girliest version of myself in any given situation, but that does not make me the perfect girly girl – far from it.
There is a reason for this admission. If I can’t be a perfect girly girl in everything that I do, there is no way that I expect any of you to be perfect girly girls either – and neither should you. Even though we might want life to be all rose petals and estrogen, the truth is that life is often very complicated and messy.
All that we can do is to strive to do as much that is possible, in our circumstances, that will help us to feel girly on the inside. This coming week I’ll be helping my 80-year-old friend harvest his organic olives and take them to the mill. That means it will be an old sneakers/jeans/hoodie kind of week. But I can still spritz some perfume in the morning and alternate between a pink beanie and a pink baseball cap – depending on the temperature. What will be possible for you to do next week that will help you feel girly inside? Hugs.

It’s not possible for me–maybe not for many of you–to be the girliest version of you. But we all can be the girliest version of ourselves that is possible. This is what I strive to be myself. As I have shared multiple times, sometimes with a bit of aggravation, my situation only permits a certain framework within I can paint a feminine portrait of myself. But you can count on the fact that I will paint in pink all the way up to the frame!
To be quite honest with you, I grow tired of the whole manly charade. I need more girliness in my life, not a neutral scheme, and certainly not less. Even as I remain male, my whole being is screaming for more “girl” to be shown. I don’t want rough clothing and tough reflections of character. I want panties, bras, leggings, soft, stretchy jeans, shaved legs, painted toes, silky skin, fruity lotions, form-fitting shirts, and adorable shoes. I want to feel feminine in my talk, gestures, and walk. I want to feel fresh, free, and feminine all day long. To answer this deep-seeded desire, I must push the envelope more and more.
I imagine that at some point, I will have to back off. When the paint starts splattering outside the frame, the wife will insist that I keep the paint between the lines. My hope, is that over time, my borders will increase. For the time being though, I will thrive on being the girliest version of me that is within the possibilities of my life–all the way to its edges.
Have a girlier day today than yesterday!
