International woman’s day
To the women who have touched and shaped my life. Thank you
To the ones who have held me, and to the ones who have let me go,
I am grateful for you all.
The ones who showed me who I am,
and the ones who showed me who I do not want to be.
I value you equally.
Femininity is not inherent.
It is not simply something we are because of our gender.
Much of it is learned? often forged through environment, society, and history.
Yes, we may be taught how to apply make-up,
to measure our waist,
to smile on command.
But that is surface-level s**t
We are not taught how to access the deep ancestral grief and rage our bones carry.
We are not taught how to escape the boxes we are placed in,
or the labels handed to us.
The pretty one.
The smart one.
The good girl.
The helper.
The easy one.
The slut.
Before we even know who we are,
we are told who we should be.
We have been burned at the stake.
Ridiculed for our gifts.
Shamed for the natural ways our bodies change.
Expectations placed high,
the pressure even higher.
We have fought for rights that should have been ours from the beginning.
Shouted to be heard.
Climbed to be seen.
Our bodies turned into commodities
taken, traded, and sold into a market that profits from our worth.
And still we remain.
Weary, yes
Worn out, yes
Tired of fighting to survive.
Yet, we are portals
Life comes from us
We are the bridge between worlds
Between destruction and creation,
between what was and what is becoming.
magic was never something outside of us.
It lives in our bodies,
in our voices,
in the quiet moment we decide to trust what we feel.
When we remember we are ancients
When we remember we are wise
When we stand side by side
That is when we rise
Please tag and share the phenomenal women you love and are grateful for 💗🙏🏻
