Forever grateful to Feminism

. 

I will live. I will die. 

But you know what I will be proud of? 

That I survived. 

Survived all the winds and tides in my life.

I came so far in life. So far. 

I've a million miles to go. 

A million miles.

Whenever I felt weak in my life, feminism gave me strength. Gave me the inspiration. 

Feminism created who I am today.

I'm proud of the woman. 

Proud of 

The woman who never gave up 

The woman who hugged her child 

The woman who gave birth 

The woman who saved another woman 

The woman who fought hard to stay alive 

The woman who was never defeated 

The woman who was herself 

The woman who never looked for validation 

The woman who stood her ground 

The woman who inspired another woman 

The woman who taught her daughter to fight 

The woman who fought sexism 

The woman who played cool

The woman who created her own self 

The woman who never allowed herself to be dictated 

The woman who escaped slavery 

The woman who listened to her heart 

 

 

Because all those women made me.

Everyday is a struggle. A journey. 

Everyday I've to prove my worth as a woman. 

Everyday the bar is set higher and higher for me. 

Everyday is a fight to liberate the woman in me from the shackles of sexism and find hope. 

Everyday is a fight against a system that represses my womanhood. 

I've come so far. I never gave up. Will never give up. 

Will never stop being a woman.. 

I was insulted, humiliated, taken advantage of, put down, discouraged, told I was beneath everyone, told to obey men, threatened, assaulted while going to work, told I was not good enough.... 

 

But.. 

I defied everything.. I defied social norms. I defied what people thought about me 

 

I stood by me. I stood my ground. 

I kept working and working. 

 

I wanted to make my father proud. And proud I made him.

Who is my current female role model? 

I think Meghan Markle.

My strongest feminist aspect of my personality is 

 

Living by my own code.
