I have never felt more of a woman than when I was assertive, speaking my truth, leading to where I wanted to go, making sure my vision was realising. Maybe to be a woman is to create : to craft a life you love, to create feelings you enjoy going through, to share a sense of belonging…

Womanhood is made, all we are born with is a societal curse, we can choose to not let it dictate who we are. Live your truth.

this was such a wonderful read! so thoughtful and well written- it definitely made me self-reflect. I think it speaks volumes as to how deeply ingrained the concept of patriarchy equally power is. Even now, in a progressive world, a woman’s control or superiority in any place is almost always viewed with lens of shrewdness/doubt. Your writing also highlights beautifully how femininity is not constrained to its archetypes, and how embracing knowledge, creativity, and a personal sense of freedom are feminine- i resonated so much with this idea.

sorry for the waffle, but thank you for your lovely thoughts 🤍
