Run and Tell That

What You Can Do 

      The future of female independence and empowerment needs more “everyday activists.” By “everyday activists,” I mean if more and more women understood that they don’t deserve the unhealthy relationships they hang on to, they would not keep staying and settling. Once they see how grand life without settling can be, they would begin to tell everyone they know that they should be doing the same. One woman will start living her single life confidently as she tells herself “I am enough and I’ve got my own back” and will never question her self-worth, no matter what room or scenario she struts into. When she feels it working, it takes that one woman who will preach it to her friends, her sister, maybe even her mother and spread the message. In turn, more women will begin to understand that the miserable relationships they are settling for are unworthy of their precious time and love. Soon, they will realize, “I am enough and this relationship is not enough for me.” They will no longer feel the need to so desperately cling to unhappy situations to feel valued or important.

     So please, ladies, tell a friend. Tell a friend, a coworker, a cousin, and if you can, tell everyone you know. Help with the mission for women worldwide to realize their self-worth is greater than settling for any relationship or situation that is not deserving of their time, energy, and love. Many times it does not even cross a girl's mind that the signs her significant other is giving are showing a lack of love. Don't stand by and let the people in your life suffer through relationships that sabotage them. Instead, build them up, encourage them. Explain to them that they deserve so much more than they are accepting. Send them here, send them to support groups in your area, and tell them to seek support from you and the ones they're closest to. 

     Use the hashtag #TotheLeft on social media to share your stories of self-empowerment and womanly independence, and spread the word about overcoming diminished self-worth from unhealthy relationships!
