There’s something about healed older women looking so seasoned, being so chilled, moisturized and wise that I adore. I’ve been honored and opportune to have a few of them in my corner.
The more I evolve, the more I see why ‘they’ try so hard to sell women the narrative of ‘your life ends at a certain age’
First, it’s that your life ends after having children when in reality, it’s only just begun. God’s proof to me, that if I can be a vessel to bring forth life, then I can be whoever and whatever tf I want!
Then, there’s the question of whether or not you’re woman enough if you’ve not or have chosen not to have children, let me tell it to you now and direct that I know WHOLE women, who are genuinely happy regardless of whether or not they chose to have children. Next is that your life ends at a certain age. What exacerbates this particular situation is that women are gulping down this falsehood like rum kegs. What even makes it more painful is that you find some women being so infiltrated by the societal jargons to the point where they begin to age shame or bring other women down.
I’m 30 in a bit, and this is the best I’ve felt, this is the boldest I’ve been. I look at certain Pictures of me from when I was 22 and I cringe sometimes 🤣 not because these pictures don’t look good (I’ve never been ugly in my entire life🤧) but because the mindset I had at the time, is not what I’m currently operating with. So much growth has occurred, so much unlearning, so much learning and so much re-learning. A lot of deconstruction just to be re-built again, over and over and God is not even done with me yet.
I was telling an acquaintance the other day, that I feel like all these rules and do’s and don’t that have been created for women (mostly by people who don’t have uteruses or have even the slightest idea of what it means to be a woman) were created as the last resort by a group of intimidate people, who have tried all within their power to break women in every way possible but failed. ‘And so they thought, if we can’t beat them physically, we beat them mentally’ and so they came up with these stupid rules and even in some cases use religion to back up their nonsense. Women can’t do this, women can’t do that, women shouldn’t earn this, women shouldn’t go there, etc.
Imagine, that as women, we had the freedom and liberty to truly bask in the divine energy of our femininity without all these physical and by extension mental restrictions ?? What a world this would be!
But we can’t fully do that with the mindset, that we have an ‘expiry date’ or that our prime ends at a certain age or the rest of the concoction that these people have conjoined to make us believe. As women, our reign is forever, even after we transition into the after life, the life that we bring forth is one of many proof of that fact.
Dear woman, It is my wish for you today, that you begin to see yourself for the eternal baddas that you really are! And the only person that can limit you is you! Not time, not age, not nothing! Just you! So what’s is it going to be sweet face? I say it’s go time!
Let's make this conversational guys, if you anything to add or even a different opinion from what I have here. Kindly share.
Hey mory!
I so much admire your art and style, I really don’t like reading long stories nor writing long. But I think your style has inspired me lately that I downloaded a reading app. Although I’m not reading everyday yet but it’s different from my past years. Thank you 🙏
Your substack is SUPERB!
