The Feminine urge... to be misunderstood

There comes a point in a woman’s life where trying to be understood drains the energy from her actual truth. 

Not everyone will understand the woman you become when you stop performing or the women you continue to evolve into.

Some people only knew the version of you that said yes, that agreed, that carried everyone else’s comfort before her own.

There will be many versions of you, versions you are still learning to embody, so why would you try to make it make sense to anyone else? 

When you begin to honour your body, your needs, your truth you may be met with external push back. Your no may be called selfish, your boundaries called harsh, your rest lazy or unmotivated and you honesty may be called difficult.

But being misunderstood is often the cost of becoming fully expressed and the feminine doesn’t ask for permission to be herself. She trusts that the people meant for her will meet her there and she releases the exhausting need to convince everyone else.

Freedom isn’t when everyone understands you, freedom is when you no longer abandon yourself trying to make them.

I’ve been feeling the shift in my energy the past year, it feels like a reclaiming of the parts of myself I shut down or thought I had to prove to exist. But as I near closer to 40 I’m giving way less shits about external projections, 

I know who I am.

Do you know who you are?
