Her boyfriend’s birthday was coming up and she wanted to do something special for him. “I don’t want to just buy him another gift because I never know what to get him” she said. “I want to do something that makes him feel loved. But when I asked him what he wanted, he just shrugged and said he is fine, that I he doesn’t need anything.”
They give their time, their love, their attention, their energy. They remember birthdays, they send thoughtful messages, they hold space for everyone’s emotions. It’s one of the most beautiful things about the feminine, it gives. It nourishes. It overflows.
Centuries of shame, silence, and self-blame. As if the female body was the one that “failed.” As if the pain of losing a pregnancy wasn’t already enough, she also had to carry the weight of everyone’s quiet judgment.
They are the strong ones. The capable ones. The women who hold it all together. The ones who know how to fix, organize, nurture, and build. They’ve done the inner work, the therapy, the books, the retreats. They know how to communicate clearly, set boundaries, and hold emotional space better than most men could ever dream of.
