Womanhood, what a wonderful, quiet, thing.

Historically, I have been too insecure to be a girl. That pressure of prettiness, of being delicate, of being desirable. I refused to engage. But this year something has shifted. I love cardigans, I want to talk about how I do my hair, I learned how to do make-up. Even though I'm not a model, I adore making myself feel pretty and sexy. I'm falling in love with the culture of feminism, and reclaiming mother earth as a mother. Girlhood is something so insanely precious and now, despite it being so hard, I am so unbelievably grateful I get to experience it. Want to merge my soul with every woman on the planet and scream OH HOW I LOVE BEING A WOMAN!

i saw these two ladies in line, one applying lip gloss on her friend while the other held her phone up as a mirror. i took a picture, we giggled, and every time we passed each other in the bar later on, we would tell each other we loved each other.
couple that with all the bathroom compliments and general glee over seeing beautiful women, girlhood is unmatched. girlhood is genuine. and it makes me sad that boys will never experience it

resonating as I begin to more fully, less fearfully embrace gender fluidity and cautiously re-engage w that which once confined me:
“Femininity is not exclusively female - whether you're male, female, non-binary, etc: it doesn’t matter. Accepting one’s inherent feminine qualities is to tear away and reject the old conditioning that femininity is weak, inferior, or other.
In truth, femininity is essential in humanity; it is the adaptive strength in what is soft, courage in emotional depth, the unyielding resilience and regrowth in the face of adversity, and true, knowing calm.”
