“A girl should be two things: Who and what she wants.” -Coco Chanel Fashion Designer & Businesswoman
Now that I’ve got my initial thoughts out about femininity I’m ready to dig in.
I want to start with admitting that this conversation kind of scares me to have. I feel like no matter what I say about femininity, I’m going to be wrong, I’m going to exclude a woman who feels different, or I’m going to ruffle the church’s feathers. I think that fear is a combination of things, but first and foremost, my insecurity in my own femininity. This journey is a personal journey of me connecting with my femininity. No one really gets to tell me how that should look.
So how can I be more secure in my femininity?
Number 1: Take note of the things that make me feel more at home in myself.
Number 2: Make room for the things that make me feel at home in myself.
Number 3: Be intentional about including those things in my daily routines.
Number 4: Take ownership of them. No one else should be in charge of making me feel at home in myself.
