Change although terrifying
Now lives at the edge of my bed every morning, coddles me, holds me captive in its arms like a lover or a friend, and reminds me that I don’t have to remain the woman I was five years ago.
Reminds me that’s I no longer have to exude the same characteristics of the woman I was yesterday.
Instead, I am capable of giving birth to a woman who is more confident,
Or maybe more assertive,
Or maybe overall more woman than I once was.
Do you know what that’s like?
To be able to give birth to yourself and the world around you?
I do.
My becoming was not easy.
Stepping into this woman was not easy.
I have sacrificed
My old self to be here
Friendships to be here.
Love to be here.
There is not a step that I regret.
I am thankful for my journey.
And physically my body has adjusted to the life I have grown to live.
We are not translating anymore my body and me.
We are solely communicating with those who can comprehend our love language.
Here’s to becoming a woman.
Here’s to change.
