The Unknown Part Of My Life

❤ Nothing can harm me ❤

I feel content, safe in his arms.
Protected. Secure.
Nothing will ever harm me in his embrace. Nothing else on this Earth matters anymore.
Just you and me.
Us against the twisted world.
These brief moments of comfort and silence are a pure bliss.
I rested my head against his firm chest.
I felt his strong arms sneak around my waist, wrapping my petite fragile frame.
He was my shield from the cold dangerous world.
I let my hand on his chest and buried my face in the crook of his neck, taking in the faint smell of his cologne.
I let his warmth fill me the familiar feel of his love.
I savored the moment we were sharing, listening to the beating lullaby his heart was singing.
He hugged me tighter and snuggled his head under my chin this time, like a baby. An overgrown baby.
I put my hand on his head, and played with his hair, running my fingers through the soft dark locks as his bright green eyes glittered with comfort.
So peaceful. So serene. So loving.
Just all the beautiful feelings a person can feel.
I didn't want it to end.
I felt like i reached the highest point of strength, growth, love, tranquility just by staying in his arms.
I felt at ease for the first time, when all i thought about is the beauty of his eyes, and the sweet fragrance radiating from him.
Overwhelmed by these rushing emotions, i drowned within the spreading warmth.

But then, everything went black.

I opened my eyes to my slightly lighten room.

I realized. It was a dream. A lie.
I laughed at myself for believing in such thing.
I've always been told that ever woman needs a man to protect her.
However, what should be told, is that every woman needs to trust herself, to protect herself.
Every woman needs to understand that she can't let a man control her, that she can be strong, stronger than a man.
The belief, that we can only be safe with a man, makes us weak, makes us slaves to sexism.
It's what the society has been feeding our heads for centuries.
No. Let's shut our hearts, and let our brains solve the problem.
Every woman is strong enough to heal the world, make it a better place, rule it.
Why should i be sad, broken, if he isn't with me?
Why should i cry and scream till my voice gives out?
Why can't i be loved for my thoughts and brains?
Why can't i be loved, for my stretch marks, my flaws and my war scars?
I think, being secure is the moment you fall in love with your imperfections, believe that it's where your strength comes from, it's what defines you. When you fall in love with your fine structure or your curvy body.

Nothing can harm me,
Because i protect myself and my heart from breaking, i believe in myself, and i love myself.
I'm a woman, and Karma doesn't need a man.

This is the first collaboration in this book, me and my dear friend maramwrites chose a theme that had quite a lot of controversy in the past years, we tried to help women, understand their value, strength and independence and believe in themselves.
We hope you like it.
