This speech is what inspired me for today's post. It is about women, as well as men, embracing their sensitivity. Eve Ensler talks about how society teaches women, and most of all men, to be tough and ignore their emotions. Eve is the creator of the Vagina Monologues.
I'm not what you would call a typical "girly girl", but I embrace my femininity through my emotions. I cry, get sad, mad, and I don't try to stifle what I feel. Rejecting my emotions is something that I just can't do.
Lately, I've also been thinking about the movement of bodies. The motion of bodies is spectacular, especially when it's a vibe everyone is feeling, such as dancing. Everyone feeds off of each others energy and it's the most wonderful experience that I've ever had.
Today while working I thought of this poem I did a report on a few years ago in an english class that I'd like to share with you.
homage to my hips
these hips are big hips
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little
petty places. these hips
are free hips.
they don't like to be held back.
these hips have never been enslaved,
they go where they want to go
they do what they want to do.
these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.
i have known them
to put a spell on a man and
spin him like a top!
I have been blessed with a wonderful partner. He allows me to be me, and doesn't expect anything else. He knows the reasons when I get angry, and he lets me feel the emotion. When I'm sad or happy, he's there with me. I could do anything I've ever dreamed, and as long as he knows that I'm happy, he encourages me in whatever I'm doing. The relationship is the most equal relationship that I have ever been in, including relationships with friends. I have found someone that fits me emotionally, which I have never dreamed of finding, or was even searching for at the time we met. I am in new territory, which is scary, yet reassuring, because I know that a person like this exists.
