These are a series of my written works created January 16, 2022 and last modified March 16,2023. Little did I know I had been foreseeing my future and telling my own story.
Womanhood
To be a woman is to stand confidently and strong in everything that she has experienced, she understands that these experiences have shaped her into who she truly is. To enter maturity, she knows she must identify her childlike ways and analyze herself to fully know her. She knows she cannot know all of her if she neglects the part of her that self-sabotages.
For me, entering womanhood is an honor and something I don’t take lightly. I almost question my ability to become fully mature. The thought of having to consciously commit to the balance of the three parts of me is intimidating but also exhilarating. What will tomorrow bring? I look forward to that. What barriers will I conquer with this new consistency, determination, spiritual awareness, confidence? To be a woman is to step out…step up and understand fears, doubt, are the “resistance” and they will always be there waiting for you to walk through the door but to choose faith, love, peace, understanding, and focus.
Maturity comes when we have decided its time. Or maybe it comes unexpectedly like a breeze of cool air. I sat and thought to myself – some people never mature. I think it’s so much deeper than obtaining material possessions, it’s spiritual. It reminds me of what the author of Goddess Blackwoman, Akil says – “you were made who you are not created”. It may look different for all of us, in fact, it will, but the goal is the same. To rise into who we truly are. Divine Love.
There’s a force that doesn’t want me to leave childhood and walk into womanhood. My shadow. The thoughts I have, the way I respond to different situations, how I love, how I receive love, what I speak out of my mouth, what I say to myself when I’m alone. The Comfort.
Womanhood, maturity, is an honor to have realized. To be Godly. To live Godly.
