Freedom

I’m a woman. 

I’m also me. 

I have my weaknesses. 

I have my strengths. 

I have a history, and a shared history. 

So do you. 

I don’t feel weak because I’m a woman. 

I feel weak because there are some things that make me feel vulnerable. 

Just like you sometimes do. 

I don’t feel strong because I’m a woman. 

I feel strong because there are some things that make me feel powerful. 

Just like you sometimes do. 

Today, I’m not a woman because of a list of personality traits that I may or may not have. 

Today, I’m not a woman because I can have a baby, there are women who can’t. 

Today, I’m not a woman because I have breasts and a vagina, there are women who don’t.

Today- I’m a woman because I want to be one.
