I'm the 21 year old mother of two little girls. Mollie Leigh- 4 months and Bevin Addison Marabeth- 2 years. These two are my life. Everything I ever do is strictly because of them. Nothing else matters besides my Mollie Bug and Bevin Bear.
When they get older, I hope they know how much I have sacrificed for them. I want them to be strong and independent women who will not make the same mistakes that I have. I want them to not have to rely on men to get by in their lives and to only start a family when they are ready. I want them to not take any crap from guys. They will know that they deserve a man who will offer them the world and actually carry through with that promise. That man should rule at their side and not be controlling.
I don't want them to end up with men who cannot find the greatness in women. Bevin and Mollie will understand that women are not weak and emotional-ridden beings. They are strong, beautiful, and kind. And they always will be.
I believe the song is stating that girls usually hide what they are feeling because men constantly judge us for being the weaker sex. Which is completely barbaric and knuckle-dragging ignorance. My girls will know this. My girls will be the type of women who stand up for what they believe in, no matter who is wrongfully judging them.
Do you know what it feels like for a girl? It feels empowering.
