I'm a Woman – I'm a Reader

First and foremost: Happy Women’s Day!

"When you erupt, girl, make sure it is felt across worlds."

–Sarah J. Maas

Happy Women's Day!

I have so many words stuck in me, words that I have felt slip away from me, and words that I don't know how to get out. But today is an important day! It's the day when we remember that being a woman is much more than what society has not allowed us to believe.

Being a woman is challenging, akin to swimming against the tide, yet we persist, seeking change and growth beyond societal expectations. This community has been my sanctuary, fostering healing and growth.

You, my friend, are a fierce and brave soul, battling daily to show your worth, though you owe that proof to yourself, not society.

We are Feyre, we are Aelin, Nesta, Iris, Tessa, Manon, Lidia, Annabeth, and Violet. We are all these badass, fierce, fictional women who have ingrained in our DNAs so deeply that they became part of us.

You might tire of hearing these names, but I won't stop. They've reshaped my perspective, inspiring me to pursue a life that's uniquely mine. They taught me to navigate life authentically, even against the current.

These women, though fictional, have left an indelible mark. Their stories resonated deep in our hearts, making us feel seen and heard. So, I won't be silent about them; I'll shout their names, igniting a fire in every soul they touch. A fire that no one can extinguish because we are more than just women.

I'm a woman. But I’m so much more than that. I'm Gal. I'm a reader, a coffee addict, a romantic at heart, a friend, a sister. And like me, you are so much more than a woman.

Be fierce, be badass, be unapologetically you! 🖤
