“Woman is learning for herself that not self-sacrifice, but self-development, is her first duty in life; and this, not primarily for the sake of others but that she may become fully herself.” -Matilda Joslyn Gage
Unbecoming and becoming happen all at the same time. As a woman and a mom, I had to learn to let a lot go while welcoming the more authentic parts of me. Once I really took the time to learn about myself and my values, I was able to pursue things that I loved deeply without shame. The world will really tell you all sorts of things, and most of those things are just a reflection of their own fears, their own limitations and critical voices. Finding ways to bloom into the fullest version of yourself is one of the surest ways to combat all the silly billies who limit you from your own greatness.
