TO MY WOMAN CRUSH WEDNESDAY
Dear Woman Crush Wednesday,
This an open letter to
you, my crush. I don’t know how this Woman Crush Wednesday trend started, but I
couldn’t think of a better day to let the world know about you, other than
today. I’ve secretly crushed on you but it’s time to come out of my hiding. It’s
time to remove the blindfold from the eyes of the world and let it see what I’ve
seen in you for a really long time. It’s time to let the world see you for who
you really are.
You are that lady… No,
I mean that beauty from a broken home, living the consequences of actions you
took no part in. Trying to understand why there’s so much hate where love is
supposed to abound. The frustration outweighs the confusion; I know. You are
that beauty who got sexually abused by that animal wearing a man’s skin. I
understand it’s lived with you ever since. I’ll gladly carry the weight on my
shoulders if I could. I can imagine the
hurt the memory brings.
You are that beauty
suffering a terminal disease, a cross you weren’t asked if you’d like to bear.
It hurts me to see you in pain when the monster rears its ugly head but the
least I can do is spread roses on your bed. You are that beauty who’s been left
to raise that child all alone, your only crime being that you loved and trusted
that coward with everything, even your soul. You are that beauty battling PMS,
and no one seems to understand exactly how you feel.
You’re that beauty who
had your innocence defiled and have been told not to say a word. I can imagine the
emotional damage. You are that beauty, who had to drop out of college, for issues beyond you.
You are that beauty labelled anti-social just because the world neither understands
you, nor knows what’s going on in your head. You are that beauty shuttling
between raising four kids and keeping two jobs.
You are that beauty who
continually deprives herself, just so you can support your family. That beauty
in an abusive relationship who still holds on to the deep meaning of true love.
You are that beauty with an eating disorder, a hormonal imbalance, being body
shamed by ignorant folks. You are that beauty who continuously hustles, chasing
your dreams, pushing through life’s obstacles without waiting for any knight in
shining armor.
You are my Woman Crush
Wednesday. You should know that you are beautiful just the way you are. Even if
the world keeps throwing pain, anger, depression, low self-esteem, abuse, and
the likes at you, I want you to know that it’s just the refining process. Rise
my love! Just like a Phoenix from the Ashes, rise! Your scars don’t define you.
They are stamps to your beauty.
Dust your robe and straighten
your crown my Queen. The whole world is your subject. You are resplendent. You are
a masterpiece. You are a star. You are unique. You are limitless. You don’t have to
change a thing. You’re wonderfully and perfectly made. To every lady… No, I mean
beauty all over the world, remember – Your experience don’t define you.
So walk with your majestic
aura of royalty. My sweet Woman Crush Wednesday.
Lots of Love,
Jaybee.
