Growing Up Female

\
I’m not sure how many of the things
| do are natural for women and how many
are culturally imposed. I’m not sure what
to just accept and what to question. Having
to question every mode of behaviour and every
expectation that I’ve grown up with is the oe
~ ‘best part and the scariest part of being
a woman today.

Women around the world \
be celebrating Internatio
omen’s Day this Thursday. 9
day commemorates a march

 

| don’t feel guilty anymore that I hate doing
dishes
and stuff like that, and
I’ve gotten rid of feeling that I’m crazy
because I’m not content with what I’m
supposed to be content with. I’m doing
things | wanted to do before but | wasn’t
sure if wanting them was right.
Now I’m not afraid of being bright,
or of not being beautiful, or of having an
ego of my own. I’m not afraid to be
assertive, or to take control of my life
or to consider myself important.! value
