fuck what others want. be you.
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #125
It is not my intention to shock anyone but I certainly mean every word said above. This video describes EXACTLY how frustrating womanhood feels at times. Being a young, middle-aged or older woman trying to figure out how to navigate life in my body, in my career, in my relationships, and generally, everything has been daunting at times, to say the least! I happened to stumble upon it on Facebook recently, and well, seeing Reena’s challenge inspired me to share it and my feelings about womanhood. Thankfully, I’ve come to align with this notion that my body, personality, and my humanity actually belong to me. So, respectfully, fuck off and let me be who I want to be.
A individual must live according to their dreams. Others don’t have any right to decide..

THANK YOU for sharing this, Susi. I’ve felt that way for awhile now. I got tired of getting energy sucked from me by the “shoulds”

My pleasure! It reflects what SO MANY women feel. No more, WE decide who we want to be. 🙂

Give Trump one more term and your resentment will be history (because you’ll no doubt have moved to a civilized country where Trump can be viewed from afar descending into a stark raving megalomaniacal lunatic).

If there is one video I will be forever be grateful to the internet for, it’s this one!! CN is fantastic; I wish she’d had better luck with her run for Governor of New York. Actually, I wish she’d set her eyes on the presidency. 🙂

Some of those referred to as “they” may even be women.
Well, women or men should not try to “fit in” the society or “obey” it. Why care for such a society which provides almost nothing in return for following it’s “patriarchal” codes?
Women should be themselves, do what they want and take what they want. They should be equal to men. It’s difficult, but not impossible. Who knows, a woman successful in building herself by her own efforts might be an inspiration to a hundred more?
