All The Women I Have Ever Been




My life is a tapestry woven from threads of numerous roles and emotions. I traverse through different facets of my existence with each step I take. Who am I really?
Every morning I ponder over the mood of the day. Do I want to be confident today? On some days, I am ready to conquer challenges with unwavering strength. On other days, I am delicate and I have the desire for grace and elegance. And then there are days I want to embrace the comfort of familiarity amidst the chaos of life.

With each pair of shoes, I assume a different persona. Confidence in heels, striding through boardrooms with authority. Chasing fleeting moments of joy and embracing my playful side in sneakers. In my worn-out slippers, I allow myself to be vulnerable in the comfort of my solitude. 

But beneath the façade of versatility lay a woman yearning for balance, torn between the need to appear strong and the desire to express vulnerability. I am a paradox, a symphony of contradictions. 

Beneath the ever-changing façade, I remain the same person, with a heart capable of both strength and fragility, waiting to be understood and embraced.
To the women I have ever been. I have made peace with you all, in the tapestry of life, you have made me who I am.

Girl in the Mirror

In the quiet solitude of her dimly lit room, a young girl stood before a full-length mirror, her gaze fixated on the reflection staring back at her.

Other times, they dulled to a somber gray, mirroring the weight of her worries and fears. She was a universe of contrasts, a symphony of contradictions, all woven together in the tapestry of her being.   Her hair, a cascade of dark silk, framed her face like a curtain drawn around a stage. It whispered secrets of adventures yet to be embarked upon, of mysteries to be unravelled, and of a soul that hungered ...

Hoping on a Trend

Image
I met my younger self for coffee today. She showed up on time, I was on time as well. She ordered coffee; I prefer flavored tea now. She sat across from me with anticipation, wondering how it all turned out. Her heart was still carrying too much weight; it hadn’t learned to settle down yet. She was still shy and scared, but I was confident.  We talked about the things she worried about—things I barely remember now. About the dreams she was too afraid to say out loud, the ones I now live without a second thought. She asked if we made it, if everything worked out. I told her yes and no. That some things got lost, but better things were found. That the people who mattered stayed, and the ones who left made space for something new. We are still figuring it out. We are learning.  She asked if we feel like we belong. I told her we still wear our heart on our sleeves. She smiled. She looked delicate, but I wish she knew the strength she had. She asked if we were still scared. I ...

In the dawn of graduation, a chapter begins, Uncertainties linger, where should I begin? My family's hopeful gaze, a weight to bear, A glimmer of light, in future's unknown air.
