You know how pokemon evolve into bigger, stronger, cooler pokemon. I feel like I moved into my evolved state, but the stronger or cooler part did not happen. I did things in the last four days that I preach for everyone to do.
- I played like a child. With my other non-children and children cousins. I ran till I sprained my leg. Then I ran some more. I beat my brother up, who beat me up later when no one was watching.
- I danced. And I never dance. I am so extremely conscious about how limp my body looks while dancing. But I did it. I danced in front if 100 pairs of eyes. AND I had fun. Let me go ahead, preach more and tell you that that’s good enough.
- I drove a bike. A ‘man’ bike with gears and all. I will never be able to explain to anyone non-girl how liberating and empowering that can feel. But that’s a story for another post.
- I taught my aunt to ride a bike. It’s how you extend empowerment. What a feeling that is!
