The woman

So back to the original question, who is this woman really?

I believe that many women myself included having some time in our lives, did not know who this woman was. I know I didn’t know who I was because it takes years to develop the real you as a person. As women, we have to endure so much of what daily life dishes out at us that we tend to overlook and not focus on who we are. As children, we are taught different things like how we are supposed to conduct ourselves to get a man. How we are supposed to dress, and please don’t let me get started on how we are supposed to communicate with one another. With all of these things going on around us daily, it is easy to fall into the box of just following the crowd. This is why the first part of this piece is important because the woman who follows the crowd usually goes no further than the crowd.

Do any of us know in detail who she is?

I know now who she is because I had to recreate my toolbox dealing with certain people, places, and things. Making this journey took years of rebuilding me from the inside out. For any woman to find who she is in more detail, she has to be willing to say no more and learn how to love herself more before she can love anyone else. It is amusing to me, looking back on my life now, how I allowed so many people to take advantage of me and my kindness. I mean, seriously, once I learned to self-love more, I was able to give out my love, time, and attention to the right people, places, and things. You can’t expect someone else to love you the way you want or need to be loved when you don’t even know how to love yourself.

Can you relate to her in some shape, form, or fashion?

If there is any woman out there in the world like me, I know that you will understand and know where I am coming from. My life experiences have shaped me into the woman that I am today. The shaping of me was the hardest part for me to deal with because no one cares about adding value to another life without looking for something in return. I do invest better in the people, places, and things around me now. The funny thing about all of this for me is this, it took me over thirty years to get here, but I made it.

Do you admire her?

I admire the beauty of simply being me. In my past, I didn’t admire me so much because I didn’t have the right tools to work with. I love the fact that I can be me and not be ashamed of who I am and where I can from. True, where I have come from was horrible; however, it taught me how to reinvent and reinvest in myself.

When you communicate with her, do you realize that she is knowledgeable, talented, and educated?

I find this part extremely funny because I noticed that I am knowledgeable, talented, and educated while writing this piece. The more I write, love others as I want to be loved, then the rest falls into place. There is no pushing the fast forward button when it comes to life because you have to be comfortable in the skin you are in, no matter what.

My thoughts:

The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places and surrounded by people who will add value to their lives; I know I have.
