What It Is To Be A Woman

What is it to be a woman? Honestly, it’s a rollercoaster ride!—Growing up as a toddler, we’re oblivious to the facts and constraints of gender — it’s all flowers and sunshine; we’re just happy kids.

In the blink of an eye, we become teenagers, and that’s when things start to heat up.

We’re put high up on a pedestal, we become a trophy and an investment rather than a human—put under the spotlight, made to shapeshift, act and dance to the tunes of various archies and whatnot!

We either grow numb to it or retaliate and become the force and push past some of it… phew, a little breathing space! Or so we thought.

People assume it’s an easy life because whatever we need is mostly taken care of by the men around us, but the grass is always greener on the other side.

No amount of words can truly capture what it feels like to be a woman — for better or for worse.
