between childhood and adulthood lies teenage years, where we begin to experience new feelings, emotions and also confusion of choices.
Hey, it neither story nor poetry .
its just my experience of everyday so pop in you might find something relateab...
For me, my support system is my mother Because she never tells me to become a "sophisticated housewife" while to my brother an "engineer" instead she tells us the options we have, the choices we could make, the adventures we could go on and the art to pursue.
Because she never stops me from getting co-education or riding bikes would make me less of a girl instead she tells me what equality really is and how equality could be used as a tool to uplift the social changes and norms that have been glued in the minds of people.
Because she never taunts me that taking birth as a girl is a liability or a curse or a burden or a pain or a sorrow instead she tells me that I am an asset not just to family but to the world and how proud she is because I was born from her womb and she tells that when I was born she held me like a weapon, a sword, a tool that would fight against the evils of the society.
Because she never mutes my voice, when I asked her what sex is, or why do we, girls ,have to bleed instead she tells me that I don't need to mute or lower my voice when I see my friends, my sisters, my aunties, or a human of female gender being raped or tortured or tormented .
Because she never tells me that being a wife means to tolerate my husband's violence, or to be his slave, his toy to play, his dream embrace instead she tells me to voice against martial rape, to not support him when he is wrong, to be loving enough to respect him but not at the cost of my own self respect.
Because she tells me that the cloth on my body is just a material of clothing instead my real clothing is my strength, my dignity, my courage, my happiness that covers the inside nakedness of my heart,my body, my soul.
Because she tells me I can be hard as steel but I should never forget to be as soft as a sky or I can be tough as iron but I should never forget to be as gentle as feather or that I can be more sour than lemon but I should never forget to be sweeter than honey.
Because she tells me the meaning of caring for someone beyond rationality , she tells me how to face rain and sunshine ,she tells me what to learn from a failure and how to cherish my success.
But you know what? Moreover, she tells me to be myself or not to desensitize myself, because she tells me I don't need materials to flatter people instead my flattery is just being myself,my wonderful self, my real self . Because she tells me being my own self is the only tool I'll need.
