The reason I decided to make a blog about being a diva was because of Beyonce's song "Diva." In her song she says, "A diva is a female version of a hustler." Now I love Beyonce, but I disagree with that statement. To me it makes absolutely no sense, however, I love the fact that Beyonce makes her own definition of 'diva.'
According to Dictionary.com, a diva is a distinguished female singer; prima donna. That is totally inconsistent with the whole point of this blog right? To me a diva is a person (most likely a female) who defines their own journey and destiny, and is not ashamed to be themselves at all times.
You don't have to follow some long list of rules, dress one certain way, or where you hair one way. That's not what being a diva is all about. Being a diva is about defining what you want to be and how you want to be perceived and then working to make yourself that way.
If you want to be 'that bitch' that when you walk in the room all the women are jealous and all the men are speechless- then hey, find out what you need to do to be that person. Personally, I want to be strong, successful, pretty, fashionable, articulate, and fun to be around. I put things on this blog that are some-what catered to my journey to diva, but are also general enough that other people can enjoy.
Another main point that I hope comes across here is that YOU define what you want to be. Don't be guided by famous people, or others. Really sit down and think about what you want to be/how you want to be, and then come up with a strategy to do that. Even if you just come up with a starting point, start! I would recommend getting rid of that bad habit that you have. You'll feel accomplished and it will compel you to do more to better yourself and your situation.
So lets sum it up: Being a diva is about defining yourself, and appreciating your journey to becoming the person you want to be. Appearance can easily be altered, but we all know that 'diva' comes from within and any real modification you want to make will also have to come from within.
Always stay true to you and love the diva within. Until next time, **Muah**
