Hive account@mountainjewel so glad to connect with you on this journey sister! Yes, this reclaiming is so important. Some days I feel strong and empowered in it and some days I feel raw and ashamed. I'm learning to love myself through it all and to trust my process. And exactly what you said about all these ideas being handed down. The moral codes and conditions and expectations of a society I don't believe in weighs heavy on me sometimes... I'm slowly pulling myself away and feeling the life force much stronger and clearer as I do. Writing and embodying, definitely two different things for me too! <3
