Learning the skill of living an unapologetic life..

In my culture..
it is taught from a very early age
that a womans place is to be a comfort and support for all
those around her 1st.

A woman and her wants,needs,protections,dreams...are often ignored by those around her...because her place..
is to serve others...

This often means that a womans life..is left unfulfilled and empty..the lack of love and protections from others
is in severe lack..this can lead to major depression, and deep deep misunderstandings as to why she is ignored*

I am learning the MEDICINE..of living an unapologetic life..
not in spite...but in self preservation...

I am learning I have a birthright to seek happiness and blissful joy...

I am often seen now as SELFISH
with my energies
because I have created healthy boundaries
for myself...

I NO LONGER
allow others to abuse me, ignore me, treat me like straight shit...and then turn around and tell me they love me..

I NO LONGER
BELIEVE
the harm others place on me..to me..before me
and the acceptance of that ...
makes
a GOOD WOMAN*, DAUGHTER, SISTER, FRIEND, AND LOVER <3

IF you think I am disrespectful for that..
thats on YOU
not me..

I no longer CARE..
if you like me..

because I LOVE MYSELF
and I KNOW what I have to offer is Gold..

this is not being un*humble

that is the truth of my heart
and the blessing that
THE MOST HIGH HAS PLACED UPON ME...

BLESS UP!

This is indeed a sad truth. Society often confuses the fact that a woman comes equipped with a better tool kit for being nurturing and affectionate means that is her "role" or "duty" in life. These bodies of ours are just space suits til the next life time...
