I was going to write a poem then I remember I'm not good at writing poems. Maybe I could pull it off but I feel it won't tell enough how I'm feeling.
Ever had to get angry at yourself but no words came out of your mouth? And then you get angry again when you actually didn't listen to your self.
Sometimes, I just sit, think and feel more sorry when I remember that there are women having it worse than I am. Being a woman is a whole lot.
Somedays I wake up wishing I don't have to play my "being a woman"s duties, it gets exhausting and I still feel like I've not even started much yet.
Sometimes, I want to scream so loud asking for help, all the help I can get but then, I remember those who need my help and I have to act strong.
Life has a lot to teach, I'm very much aware of that but some times, I'm tempted to stop learning but then I remember learning brought me this far.

"You're a strong woman", "not many can do what you do or have done", I get comments like this but why don't I know much of that strength seen?
There's so much I can do and so much I want to do but somewhere deep down, the strength is weak and motivation fights with procrastination.
I'm sure this is just me beating myself over what I'll eventually get right but I wish I don't have to beat myself first and I'll always be strong for me.
Well, I'm not just a woman, I am human and humans are bound to be both strong and weak at different times. I need to accept that fact for me.
What truly matters to me is my peace of mind when I'm alone and I'm around people, but my inner woman isn't at the state of peace I want.
Still, I'm so grateful. I can't even thank God enough for how far I've come and the thoughts He has placed in me to push myself to strength.

Wow. Thank you so much for posting this. You have very eloquently put into words what most women I know are struggling with. I hate the notion and the saying "you are so strong to have survived your experiences," as well as "Your experiences shaped who you are today," as if we should somehow be grateful for our trauma. As well meaning as these sentiments are, it almost gives the impression that you cannot become a healthy adult woman without suffering, and I believe that notion to be so completely unhealthy. What are we teaching our daughters and ourselves? That you are some how stunted without having suffered abuse of some kind? Surely we can become fully emotionally intelligent women without so much suffering and anger?
Thank you for relating with this!
It's really bothersome that everyone seem to be thinking same about this... "The traumas are fine" No!
I hope we win over them and bring up daughters who are emotionally intelligent with no much struggles.
100% agreed!! and It is such a pleasure! 🥰🐝

Thank you! 🙂
My pleasure!
We tend to see what is the worst in ourselves; our weaknesses; our ugliness or how we messed something up. Through the lens of others, we can sometimes get a glimpse of the real strength in ourselves, our best, our beauty or how we did something exactly right. It can be maddening when we just don't see it.
Thank you for sharing; know that you ARE strong and CAN do things you think you can't. Take care! !LADY

It's really sad we choose to see that more than the strength others see in us. But at least, I'm aware now and I hope to always remind myself of how strong I can be. 🥰
