To Have No Fear...

When I was once a child,

Life seemed eternal...almost immortal

the many things I accomplished

with such bravery

such passion

seem only now a distant and faint memory

In the rain forest where I once freely jumped into the waterfall

can only be done now with hesitation.

And as my age begins to appear slowly upon my face

I begin to realize that my freedom

becomes compromised with the many uncertainties of the world.

I once stood firm to the sun

unfaltering and stern.

Now these very legs that I once stood upon

only appear to question my very being.

I am faced with these questions,

Who am I truly?

Am I bred to become a wife?

A mother?

Am I only created in this world to be submissive?

 or worse...silent?

With this aging flesh am I to be judge by others?

And when I am old and grey am I to be cast off as incompetent?

As we all grow older

the many fears of this world only grow larger

But yet...

when I see the  injustices of the world

The child that I once was

I am reminded then who I am

And with each year that delicately passes by me

Each fear that attempts to intimidate my soul

 shall begin to face the child I yearn to remember.

I was simply inspired to write this, I do not write often how I feel in this blog.

I felt though that a blog is a moment to express how we feel at different parts of our lives.

I am more than just a fashion blogger.  I promised in the beginning of doing this

that I would write about the many things that cross my mind, and this is it :)

I share these written words with you in my sincere vulnerability and only hope that I can 

read your written works as well.  There are many paths in life, to be labeled and boxed in

should never be the goal in living.  Always keep creating and being inspired, it is what makes 

us human.
