And our faces have absorbed the beautiful challenge of loving our families with every fiber of our beings.
Our faces display the deeply carved laugh lines that represent the joys of the good times, and the often the puffiness of eyes that represent nights of crying into our pillows over the roller coaster of life as a wife and mom.Īs wives and moms, we love HARD. And living life is often hard, gritty work. The lips that have kissed family members we adore- the same lips that have said words of anger we’ve regretted. The eyes that have read countless children’s books to small children. Our faces illustrate the struggle to pay the bills, and the work that it takes to get it done. They show the frown lines of worry- worry for other human beings that we love so much that we absorb every fear, every challenge that they face in life as our own. Our faces show our exhaustion of caring for restless children in the middle of the night (for some, every night). I love this so much, because many, many of us have faces that ARE similar to Meredith’s. To all of you out there that have a face that’s similar to mine, & you can see the age on your face, and you can see the stress on your face, & you can see the wrinkles and the laughter and the joy and the love from having family and life and living that life- enjoy that face that you have. (I’m totally with her on the sunscreen-lines thing! Same, girl, SAME.) These lines are here because I’ve laughed, and I cried, and probably didn’t wear enough sunscreen as a child.
It’s all there, baby! She’s an open book- she won’t have you judging this book by a quick glance at its cover. I have been married for 16 years I have three children and I wear my stress, my anxiety, my fears, my joys, and my laughter on my face- that’s what I do. It shares her story with the world, and represents the life she is living- the good, the bad, and the exhausting: Posted by That's Inappropriate on Friday, February 15, 2019 Let me be the first to tell you ladies, you all have great faces! I don't care if you are tired or stressed, I love your face, you should too! I look stressed, but guess what?!?!? THIS IS JUST MY FACE! I bet I'm not alone in this one. Her response is EVERYTHING, because it’s a lesson we all need to learn. Presenting her real, unfiltered face in videos has recently resulted in several comments of concern about “how tired” she looks. Meredith Masony nails just how unrealistic & unnecessary this is in her recent Facebook video post, aptly titled, “This Is Just My Face”. It’s easy to forget that women are not glossy and airbrushed in our everyday lives, nor should we feel that we’re supposed to be. People have become so accustomed to seeing filtered images that our real, live, actual faces are now a rarity on social media. “Are you ok? “You look tired.” “You need more sleep.” “You should take vitamins.” In fact, hiding our flaws has become so common that when you don’t do it, you provoke the concern of others via well-meaning comments like:
We have an array of filters and photo-enhancing options at our fingertips to remove every blemish, blend away every wrinkle, and lighten every dark eye circle. And filters make it really easy for us to do that, too.
