How It Feels to Change
I used to love referring to myself as "babygirl". I had everything from babygirl cropped tees to necklaces and earrings. I've always been sweet and playful and used to have an innocent ignorance when it came to adulthood, pain, the state of the world, and my place in it... I was inexperienced and had an undeveloped perspective on life and how to move through it.
Babygirl was what I referred to myself as before I discovered who I am as a woman. I didn't have a clear view on my idea of femininity or what it was about me that made me unique, I didn't know what kind of value I could bring to the lives of those around me or what set me apart from other girls. I knew I was unique and not necessarily one to "follow the crowd" but I still sought out external validation and acceptance. Focusing on the appearance of things and the outside appeal of my temple instead of the love and virtue on the inside that makes it so sacred and sublime. I had yet to discover my lineage, my passions or my power.
There has been a shift in what appeals to me and what I choose to tolerate.
I am intentional in everything I do and try to make healthy choices across every aspect of my life. For me, the little things matter; I care about what I eat, what I put in and on my body, the sounds and words I allow to enter my mind, the sights and scenes I allow my eyes to etch into my memory...
I am very mindful of what I expose myself to at this stage in my life. The energy and meaning behind things like music, film, tv shows, news, etc. are what determine my tolerance and participation. I do my best to steer clear of negativity, violence, or vulgarity in any form because of the weight it puts on my heart and the energy it tries to create in my internal environment.
