I want to read this about 100x and then print it out and post it in my bedroom. I appreciate the feeling in my body that you also understood and were able to put into words.
You know what I thought about? The original sin and how that sin (the desire, the reach for something, the thirst for knowledge) immediately brought about SHAME. "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves."
If you ask me, the original sin is the God of the Bible creating shame over Eve's body. Now how about that for a writing prompt
Thank you Kira for these thoughts that lift women up. Especially this,"“I’m not here to be a good girl.
I’m here to be whole.”" Love this.
Absolutely! 🌹

Also your line "I will not mimic women who bite each other because they never learned to hold themselves" made me think of this line from Pat Parker:
"SISTER! your foot's smaller but it's still on my neck"
Whew! Good one! 💙
Beautifully written!
-I resonated and will re listen to this because it's deep and hold many messages -thank you! 😊
