I grew up the type of tomboy that would beat the boys at marbles, I was a real toughie and it worked for me, I didn’t like anything fém about my body and I thought being boylike was way better because of the freedom and respect males command in my society – but in doing so I shut out alot of my feminity. Limitations become permenant when we believe we our powerless against them. There will always be times that are unfavourable and moments we feel like we losing the fight, but the minute we choose to believe we have lost is when we will lose ourselves. Expression is the beginning of life, if a baby doesn’t cry at birth it hasn’t taken a breathe, it’s the most natural thing to express but when we grow up we forget our nature. Fear of expression is failure to breathe – don’t suffocate your essence, let the air of possibility fill your lungs so you can breathe life unto your path and heal those limitations – The entire package was made perfectly for you – you exist for a reason, don’t hide away, its so easy to say but I still have to remind myself daily. My biggest fear has always been rejection and abandonment. I would try my best to be in the “right” to the point of muting myself, I still slip in and out of these emotions … It’s hard to believe – yet if I didn’t take back that piece of myself everyday from self limiting beliefs . I wouldn’t be here. Stay visible.
