Happy IWD! 👩🦳👩🏻🦳👩🏽🦳👩🏿🦳

As women, we often get trapped in a box of social expectations and doubts where we have to work extra hard or alternate our personalities in an attempt to fit into societal expectations. I see the young me continually doubt herself to fit it and be seen as ‘normal’, even when I was struggling to keep up to keep society happy. I often felt like a stranger in my own body, burying my thoughts, doubts and filtering my speech.
Over the past few months of consistently working on myself and learning to simply disregard the opinions of myself that have been placed on by other people, I’ve learnt to develop into a stronger woman. Recently, I’ve dropped the need to act in accordance to everyones perception of me, simply because my mental health is more important than me matching your expectations.
As women, we are all beautiful and talented in our own ways, shaped by both our individual beliefs and society. This International Women’s Day marks an important recognition in the way we stand up for ourselves and continually reshape the way we build ourselves amongst societal, to reclaim ourselves and our strengths. As women we should all come together and respect each other, not compete. We are all different and special in our own ways and even though it took a long time for me to realise this power of womanhood and community of support, Im working on myself day by day, continually swooning over my own resilience, achievements and strength, despite the past. To me, Womanhood means strength, women from all over the centuries have fought for what we have today and we are still fighting, TOGETHER. ❤️
