✨PRINCESS✨ 🌸
We had been in a group here on this farm for days, and I was feeling gross…
Hay, dirt, food, all over my body.
No running water, no bucket to heat, so while I do love gardening, I felt like I was about to crawl out of my skin.
- “Oh well, princess doesn’t fancy working and being all dirty! I need to take princess for a swim in the lake.”
He looked at me with a huge grin, waiting to see my bratty reaction and protest to his words.
I subtly looked away as he teased me, gently smirking and feeling slightly uncomfortable.
But as the name “Princess” was used more and more towards me in the upcoming days, I started to accept my fate.
I thought Well, I rather be a princess than a troll, or “dude”, or some other slightly comical and rude nickname used on the ladies here.
💥And suddenly I remembered; not too long ago, in my early twenties, I would have become SO ANGRY at someone (especially a man) calling me a princess! A princess (in that sense) meant entitled, soft-bodied, spoiled, too comfortable and thin-skinned for her own good, needy, bratty, and overall sensitive.
And back then, I deemed these things to be BAD.
They were weak, and I was weak if I displayed such things, and if anyone DARE call me anything that is even slightly soft or pink I will yell loudly, and do hard “tough” stuff to prove them wrong.
I did not want to be soft, entitled or sensitive. Those are bad things that a woman apparently should not be.
But as I grew in my personal development, realising that being feminine (emotional, soft, versatile, deep, needy) is all good things! It is me, who I am, and it only brings more contrast to this world💃🏻
I know I am not rude, or whiny, or harsh. I know I work hard, dig deep, and am not afraid to be dirty and gross. But I also know I like being clean and pretty, and that’s ok!
I do not lose my strength just because I also can be soft. (refer to water – lakes vs pressure washer)
And not only has that, but being a princess meant I have my boundaries in place.
I am no longer compromising my comfort in fear of judgement, and not afraid to be seen as entitled when I request for what I want.
What do you react to strongly, and why? ❤️
