I love being a woman, I love my body and the incredible things it has to go through in life, I love the women I have around me that supports me, I love the fantastic women who helped in making changes for us women now, I love myself and every woman on this planet.
To become a parent or to carry my own child has never been obvious to me. I could easily see a future of just me and my husband (and lots of fluffy Thor’s hahah). But here I am, 8 months of transformation waiting for a little one. And this pregnancy journey has been interesting. Nothing of surprise really, but I’ve always been fascinated by the what our bodies can do, that’s one reason for why I became a dance teacher. As women we have a lot of changes happening throughout our lives whether we like it or not. We are born with all the eggs we’ll ever have, we have to bleed year after year, suffer through pms, some women will carry babies and others can’t or don’t want to, we deal with hormones and unexplained emotions and eventually we go through a major change called menopause. And on top of that we have to deal with all the expectations put on us because of that we are women and then we add all the other stuff to the list that men deals with as well. Some women work, others don’t, some women takes care of babies others deals with employees. Women put in a lot of hard work and often don’t get what they deserve in return. But we keep going. Always.
I know nothing about this tiny human inside me (other than it likes to dance all day long just like its mommy), but I know that the more my husband and I can teach her/him about the world the better off she/he is to become someone who will respect others, support others and show love and compassion to others. And that’s all we want. I believe in a bright future for women and men and it starts with us and our little ones.
Happy International Women’s Day! Lets send a message to the women we care about today and pat ourselves on the shoulder and say “you’re awesome”. Cause women are pretty f*cking awesome!
I am proud of who I am and I love my body
