Beyond Being a Woman

Glow Up Series #10

I dream to be accepted for who I am and to be supported in what I do. Every day, these words from my mother always prosper in my ears, "If you want to be a woman, act like one." But what prospered in my heart is to stay who I am and not adhere to the norms of this cruel society, hoping that one day, she will also love me.

I will never change myself just to satisfy their expectations and idea of being a woman. I will never change myself for other people. I never changed myself. Not even for my mother.

But I changed myself for you.

Because in your eyes, I am not a woman, too.
