To Be A Woman
To be a woman is undeniably difficult - *this is not a feminist post*. It's more highlighting the life of a female and her interactions with other females. No doubt, guys do make great friends too, there is a little less drama with guy friendships, however, female friendships play a significant role in the life of a woman.
In order to want a healthy connection with a female friend/parent/sibling, you, of course need to work on being a good friend yourself. Now, before we go on, let's pretend that we're entering a room in the presence of others and this room has the divine ability to interpret your thoughts and feelings across the walls so before you enter; strip yourself off your pride, judgement, vanity and everything else that may get you kicked out.
Let's think about our most important friendships right now and how they positively impact us. At the back of my mind my first friendship is the one with my mom, I value our friendship because she supports me, listens to me rant and also by her mere existence, she teaches me hard work, dedication and devotion. As I grow, I understand her better, her thoughts, decisions and the need to always improve herself, I also find parts of her in me and I appreciate the good traits that she has passed through.
My second friendship is the one with my mom-in-law who is more a second mom to me, when I think of her friendship, I think of strength and determination. She fulfils the roles of mom, wife, teacher and newly "Dr of Education", with these various roles, she manages to, like my mom, teach me how to budget, how to commit to something higher than myself and just find peace within myself to keep on going.
Since, I have no biological siblings, Jade is the closest thing I have to one. I value her friendship because she is kind, she offers excellent advice, she has a keen eye for Marketing Strategies and of course, she is my "partner in crime".
She is the one I had discovered life with, we had built things and have equally destroyed things together. I value her friendship cause I appreciate her, she has a soft innocence about her and through whatever, she still goes on.
My next friendship is the one with my best friend Griselda, she has been my other "partner in crime", what I admire about her is that she is a go-getter, always learning and improving herself. She tries really hard at something and she excels at it. Over the past one and a half decade, I have realised that she is my "ride-or-die" friend, no matter how far we go, we always return to each other.
I have learnt so many lessons from the aforementioned friendships and also the many other friendships I have, women who I interact with, work with, who I am generally acquainted with.
Women relate to each other and can teach each other lessons in ways in which we could use to function. As a female, who are some of the women who have impacted you positively? Can you say some positive things about them?
As women, we have so many roles to fill, in this day and age we have many issues to tackle like healthcare, self-care, relationships, marriages & of course children, those who don't have kids yet have to stress over the biological clock, hormonal imbalances, finding a partner or merely maintaining a relationship.
How do we maintain equilibrium? There are a myriad of transitions we have to undergo in order to become more self-aware and self-accepting.
A female firstly has to transition from a girl to a woman. One of the distinct characteristics of a woman is that she becomes mature. She understands that she is not perfect, she accepts misfortunes and finds ways improve and manage them. Then, the transition from a woman into an "evolved woman" is the other important change.
An evolved woman is one of strength; she seeks to harness positivity and good from within, she is a light source to those around her, she seeks to build wholesome relationships with her partner, colleagues, friends and children, she throws more than she catches. She utilises her creative and professional skills in order to create her signature identity. She is focused on herself and how she can improve. She moves away from negativity, slander, shaming and envy. Which are you/do you aim to be?
What I have come to realise personally, is that once you come right with yourself, it becomes easier to be authentic with others. If you value your friendship with yourself then you can master and appreciate every other friendship you have. We act up with jealousy, negativity and hate when we don't have goodness fed to us from friendships, connections and partnerships. If you do look at sources of negativity, they mainly stem from lonely, unevolved individuals.
We all, at some stage, were unevolved. I can remember the times my loneliness had me act up in the most unpleasant forms. Each of us hold such strong power within, if concentrated enough, we could be the best versions of ourselves. Releasing negativity can only come from within, you need to want to rid anything in your life that no longer serves you in order to receive fresh blessings.
In conclusion, the life of a woman is indeed complex but also so beautiful, we are an amazing creation of The Almighty, each of us are so unique with our own quirks and kinks. We should celebrate us and make the most of what we have in this lifetime.
In the next post I'd like to touch on hormonal imbalances, self-care and mental health care.
