They never get to see the wholesome version of me. No one ever does. Not like I see it. Even the closest person in my life does not get to see every bad and good thing that i so, or think, or even feel. They may get to see the truer version of myself, but never the real thing. This is because i wear many hearts, and I juggle them at the very precise moment. I have a daughter role that i play, a sister role, a career woman role, a girlfriend role, and so many more. And no one gets to experience them all at one. So, please do not compare your experiences to mine. You do not know the shoes that I walk in: where they hurt, why they make me feel powerful. For I am, and forever will be a woman. And that is both the blessing and burden that we have to carry with us, and I'd be damned if I do not carry it with the grace it deserves.
