Growing up as a woman
Is like growing up in a matrix.
You are told:
– What to do
– What to say
– What to wear
– Who to be
Haven’t you heard that in fact, your matrix has more than one layer,
And they can all work together?
Layer of ambition
Layer of maternity
Layer of quirkiness
Layer of bravery
Layer of whatever you want it to be.
Each one intertwined with the previous one
To make a multidimensional version of you.
Not the one patriarchy has planned for you,
But the one you have chosen for yourself.
