What does it mean to be a shameless woman?
Recently, Helen Mirren praised Kim Kardashian and other modern women such as Madonna and Jennifer Lopez
‘I’m not into the Kardashians, it’s a phenomenon I just don’t find interesting, but – and this is the big word: B-U-T-T – it’s wonderful that you’re allowed to have a butt nowadays! Thanks to Madame Kardashian, and before her, J-Lo. We’re also allowed to have thighs now, which is great too. It’s very positive.”
She went on to say “I love shameless women. Shameless and proud”
My main goal in life is to be a shameless woman, but not in the same way as Kim Kardashian or Madonna. Have you ever looked back on a time in your life and wish you could go back and do it better? I know that I certainly have regrets. I am one of those annoying women who can’t just lay down and go to sleep at night. I have to rehash every moment of my day picking out and prodding at own brain. My brain is always going.
I am constantly evaluating my life, my choices, and even the words that come out of my mouth. I have a daughter and a son. I never want to do or say something that I will be ashamed of later. I want to be confident that if my daughter grows up to be just like me- that I would be proud. If there is ever a moment that I don’t feel like I am being a good role model- I change. That’s what it means to me to be a shameless woman.
Being shameless, I’ve found, is a very personal thing. What I find to be appropriate in my life might not be the some for everyone else. I have a very clear image of the sort of person I want to be always in the forefront of my mind, and I model my behavior in all aspects of my life around that.
It doesn’t just end there for me. If I’m ever in a tough situation I make a conscious effort to do what is right instead of what is easy. Sometimes I fail. When I fail I apologize. When I fail spectacularly, I own up to it. It’s not the easiest way to live- constantly critiquing and over analyzing what you’re doing and what you could have done better. I want to look back on my day, and my life, without regret. Sometimes, especially when a family member or friend is being difficult- I would rather just lash out or cut off contact- but I can’t.
That is- unless I feel like not getting any sleep that night. So to me- being shameless is less about having no shame, as it is about leading a shame free life.
