She Felt Like a Child on International Women’s Day
This year, too.
Do you ever feel like you’ve been running in the wrong direction? Like maybe they were right to tell you, “slow down, you crazy child”?
You’ve wanted to grow up ever since you can remember.
You’ve begged your parents to take you to school. Stalked your older sister to take you with her gang. Sought the company of older people. Got into relationships with older men. Until one day, you woke up realizing they’re all looking at you as if you were a woman.
The only problem is you’re still feeling like a little girl. And you have no idea what was all the struggle and hurry about.
Today, millions of women celebrate their femininity on international women’s day. You dread this holiday you’re supposed to fake, smiling when getting flowers, feeling like a fraud when replying to special wishes.
What’s a woman, anyway?
Sure, you’ve got the looks.
You’re now blushing behind a different blush tone. There’s lipstick on your lips, and sometimes that lipstick ends up on some man’s body parts. Other times, some man’s body parts get under your shirt or your skirt, whether you want it or… not.
