An ode to all women
Like most of us, I went to see Barbie. Pink shirt and all, not difficult with my wardrobe BUT the uniform was one of my first favorite things about the movie. I saw TikTok after TikTok about girls wearing pink to the cinema. It reminded me of me and my girlies back in the days, when cringe wasn’t even a thing. We were just carefree and matching.
To be fair, I was not planning on seeing Barbie. Until I found out that it is about fighting the patriarchy. I felt like it was my duty to go and MAN ;) it did not disappoint. The opposite actually. The first time I went with my girlfriend of 8 years and when we walked out I decided that every man in my life who is even somewhat important important to me should see this masterpiece.
I felt seen. All of the things I’ve been facing in my life because I am a woman were acknowledged. I felt the love of my mother even though she wasn’t in the room with me. I felt the love of the past few women’s circles I’ve been to. I felt the love of myself. I was sitting next to my bestie who I grew up with. And nature was healing.
It made me realize that us women are so incredibly special. The way we can work together. The way we can create a safe space for each other. The way I have felt transformative healing just from doing breath work with a group of women. The way we are warm and nurturing, intuitive, caring etc.. I’m in awe.
It made me think about why I started The Cosmic Club. The main reason was for women. I adore women and I think they deserve the world. We deserve to learn how to get to know our bodies. We deserve to feel safe. We deserve to express our sensuality without being sexualized. We deserve to love and celebrate our womb. We deserve to rest. We deserve to be in sisterhood. We deserve to heal… the pain of our mothers, our grandmothers, our great grandmothers, all of them! All of the ladies before us! We deserve to know how our cycle works. We deserve to love instead of hate our periods. We deserve to be the wild women we were meant to be.
Here’s to all of you womb holders. Say some sweet words to yourself tonight and kick ass.
