Fight with grace πͺβ€οΈ
I have been reflecting a lot about what it means to truly be a graceful, strong, kind & assertive advocate. It means to live my life my way & not to take sh!t from anyone.
Like recently someone called me a b!tch but you know what I have since embraced the term b!tch to mean a lot more than a hollow, strong word used to undermine & insult me. I am not insulted because I took a vulgar & rude sound to flip it around to re-contextualise it so that I am a b!itch if I am:
strong in my beliefs
strong enough to fight for myself
being an advocate for others
not being affected by negativity
trying to sh!t in my life & using it as fuel to light my fire
making the most of my existence my way even if it means doing things that make others unhappy because they do not approve
maybe most importantly, fighting with grace however it suits me
but also realising if I do something that of audacity then I will need to deal with the consequences (good, bad, or neutral)
