Are You Waiting To Be Made GOOD By Your Giving?
I want to ask you something, and instead of popping off with a top of mind feminist answer, I want you to reach deeper and TRULY ask yourself: do you, or would you ask men for free time and services like you would ask a woman for the same thing? If the answer is no, why do you think that is??
It is because you don’t expect that of them. It is because you were taught not to disrespect or question their worth. Then why are you so quick to disrespect yours? And why are you so quick to question YOUR worth? And if you’re honest, the worth of other women?
Because this story is running underneath, that’s why.
Deep deep down, you are programmed to believe that you’re worth less, and that your wants and needs don’t matter, or aren’t as important. You believe your self-sacrificing makes you good. Even when you think you know better.
It is high time for this story to be re-written.
It will NOT feel safe for you to do this. You will fear hate, punishment and retribution. That is not coming from nowhere. It’s real, it happened, and your biology and evolution remembers.
Surround yourself with others who respect and see your worth, and will calm this fear as you try to work on cultivating that worth inside yourself.
