That female touch.... At our best, We are love.... ... I drank a few sips of diet coke today after months, and now I'm bouncing off the walls, no way I will be able to sleep anytime soon!
..............So what shall I talk about today?
Hmmmmmm, a topic I have been thinking about recently is the difference between the guys and the ladies...
In my opinion, guys are so much more likeable than girls (know I'm gonna get beaten down for saying this!). They are so much more relaxed than us, they lets things slide, they don't have many hang ups, they don't bitch as much, they can be alot of fun to be around.
& Something that has always fascinated me is.... A guy in love. It always amazes me how this chilled species can be so intense!
Now, females just disappoint me.... get a bunch of us together and the conversation will most definately take a superficial turn. Sure it may get human for a few minutes - but this will ALWAYS be subset by three times more superficiality. Topics that are sure to come up are - weight, needing to lose weight, bitching about other people, feeling insecure, looks, shopping, possessions, random comments to make sure everyone present thinks they are something/great/worthy. I won't go on... I'm sure you all know what I mean.
In the past I was disappointed that this was my fate, that I was destined to be an annoying female. However, I have recently made an amazing discovery - The ANNOYING FEMALE stage is a phenomenon of the young... an unfortunately long phase, but a phase nonetheless!
I get it now. As we get older.... we start to drop those insecurities, we relax a bit more, let the unimportant stuff go more easily.... we come into our own, and we develop that "female touch".
I have a few older-than-me female friends, and they amaze me. One of them is Rebecca... serene, beautiful, strong.... & she just emits warmth (like nobodies business!). If she has insecurities, I am unaware of them... she is just completely endearing in her own unique feminine way. She is married to an amazing guy, Sascha, and they together are like a perfect example of what can come from the meeting of members of the two genders who are each at their very best.
Now, I myself am 23... and I feel like I am in some kind of transition between the annoying-female-stage and the female-with-the-amazing-touch stage. & I am SO ready to leave that annoying stage. I'm not just saying this - but I've never ever been cool with being the annoying female. Annoying females have this hang up - this thing about having to prove that they are unique and above the rest. For a long time I have truly felt that there isn't anyone better than me, and there isn't anyone that I'm better than. So, I'm so ready to move on...
Sometimes I feel like I have grown up before my age. I have never been that much of a party-er, and I sometimes wonder if I should have experienced these things, and the annoying female stage fully too. Oh well, who knows.... & I must always remember that it has been me making these choices and calling the shots along the way.
I can feel my transition taking place.... I am doing all these grown-up-female-y things like:
- keeping everything completely clean and organised
- being completely on top of all my to-do lists
- my room is all suddenly a bit grown up with the lighting and layout
- I am cooking and experimenting, shopping at Fresh & Wild and organic markets... to the point of feeding other students on my corridor with my creations!
- I suddenly feel this need to eat my meals with the table dressed, haha
- I have taken a huge fancy to linen spray, pillow spray and vanilla room spritz, hahah!
- I sit around in dresses and feminine-type-pyjamas all day
- I just don't really give a damn about what other people think, and don't feel like I need to prove a point to anyone (just sometimes I feel like I need to prove to myself/my past a point still!). I seem to be taking a huge interest in discovering myself these days & have this acceptance about myself...
- I just feel this incredible warmth & love towards people... and this humanness that I cannot explain, it's different from when I was younger.
Actually the list above is quite silly (heh), I can't explain in words what is actually is happening in this transition...
& You know what, guys absolutely love those with the female touch...
I have had this conversation with quite a few guys, and they ALL were saying pretty similar things. They lovelovelove when we let go of our insecurities and channel all that energy into accepting ourselves and others... and loving (because at their best, females are love). One of my friends said something pretty funny... "I just can't get enough of that feminine lavender linen spray shit!!!"... hah. And, ladies you know it's only those with the female touch who use lavendar linen spray! ;)
So, anyway the point of this post.... I'm not sure? All I can say is that I'm glad I've discovered my next phase.... :)
