I am a woman, first and foremost...



A woman needs nothing but the freedom to be just that.. a WOMAN.
The freedom to be her sensual self without the constraints of all the external variables in her everyday life.
She's a victim of all the rules society forced her to live by... she is taken for granted, she is disrespected, she is misunderstood, she is underestimated. She knows she is not inferior yet must pretend to feel she is. She is constantly adapting, changing, struggling even if only within herself... but she smiles when she's alone with herself, she knows.. she knows.. it's all part of her becoming... She is the definition of strength yet she is so vulnerable, so easily hurt.

She needs space to grow and explore herself... to feed each of her layers, which are many...
To look inside her soul core, you need to be invited in.
She wants to be held, but not too tightly and not too loosely.
She wants to give, and she would give everything... even at the risk of losing herself in doing so...
She wants protection, but not the kind that would make her feel in danger.
She wants excitement, adventure and most of all passion - she wants to LIVE.
She wants to FEEL ALIVE.... that is why sometimes she longs for pain and sets herself up for a fall, because the feeling of pain is so overwhelming it reminds her of just how very alive she really is.

She wants to DISCOVER and to SHARE her discoveries... but wants you to want her to share them with you. She wants to feel wanted, not only needed.
She knows her worth but needs to know that she is appreciated none the less... or sooner or later she'll be out the door, either literally or metaphorically. She'll always find a way to survive. A woman can live inside herself, building a whole world of her own that is unknown to all... she can live that way for long periods of time, but don't let her get to that point... or you'll lose her there.
