To my fellow writers.
You're allowed to call yourself a writer, regardless of how good you are at writing. You're allowed to reach for the stars, to dream of becoming the next big thing. You're allowed to write just for the heck of it.
You're allowed to call yourself a writer, regardless of why you're writing. Regardless of how insignificant you believe your writing to be, because your writing is not insignificant. Nothing that brings you joy will ever be insignificant.

Healing your femininity after trauma
Before starting, it's important to note that this is going to talk about traumatic experiences such as abuse, sexual assault, etc. None of this goes into detail but if a passing mention of these topics is too much for you then you may want to skip to the next page.
My journey into femininity
Throughout my life, I had an intense desire to be the complete opposite of a feminine woman. It wasn鈥檛 that I simply hated femininity for myself but rather I hated it on everyone. I was confused as to why I disliked it so much until I turned 16 and the reality of my childhood finally hit me. In order to protect myself, I had pushed back the memories of being sexually abused as a child and rejected who I was because my own body brought feelings of guilt and shame. The path of accepting what had happened was long and it鈥檚 still something I deal with today but as time went on I understood my experiences enough to start the healing process. This process has been about me being able to love my body and teach others to respect it. The hardest part of that was allowing myself to be feminine again.
Teaching myself to embrace femininity started by simply wearing feminine clothes. Dresses and skirts became part of my wardrobe staples. I would do my make-up, make sure my hair looked nice, and even wore heels from time to time. None of this worked. I was so sure being feminine was about following these certain stereotypes but it never seemed to heal me. I think that for me, my idea of femininity was still tied to what men expected femininity to be. I didn鈥檛 realise that femininity came in many types and that the hyper-sexualised version was not the one that suited me. It took me a lot of trying and failing until about 6 months ago when I started working with the Goddess Rhiannon.
It isn鈥檛 necessary to work with a Goddess to heal your femininity at all, she was light a lightbulb that went off in my head and I think that lightbulb can come in various forms. Working with her encouraged me to tune into the feminine of the natural world, the moon, and my body and mind. Femininity is complex and each person will find their own ways of healing but I hope that some of the following helps you as it helped me
1. Bond with the moon
This one seems extremely obvious I鈥檓 sure. We look to the moon and instantly know that she is feminine (for the most part, you may have your own ideas but this seems to be the generally accepted one). The moon is tied with goddesses and is seen as the very pinnacle of feminine energy. Knowing that the moon is feminine, however, does not mean that you are utilising her feminine energy to your full potential. At the start of my journey, I found myself full of hate for the feminine, and making friends with the moon calmed that down quite a bit. I would have conversations with her, bathe in her light, dance under her, write letters to her, and just marvel at how beautiful she was. If the moon can be so powerful whilst also being so feminine then why could I not be? Take time to truly explore the feminine energy the moon possesses and grow close to her.
2. Crystal meditations
Meditation in general is always good but enhance that by incorporating corresponding crystals into it. Take time to figure out how your trauma has shaped you negatively and find crystals that will help combat that. For example, I struggled to see myself in a sexual sense and would often disassociate during any sexual situation so I tried some meditations with carnelian for its help with sexual energy. Truthfully, crystals don't completely fix everything. I still have times when I don鈥檛 feel strong but tuning into carnelian has helped me progress. Some other crystals you may want to try are moonstone, rose quartz, selenite, or amethyst though choosing crystals that you are drawn to and specifically are able to help you through your specific troubles is best.
3. Dance
Or just any flowy movement will do. When you aren鈥檛 connected with your feminine side, you probably aren't completely tuned in with your body. Pay attention to each part of your body and move it somehow. Personally, I like to start at the top of my body and make my way down giving each part its own chance to be noticed before moving it all together. Put on some high vibrational music or even just something that makes you feel grateful to be able to feel feminine (Personally I love anything by Stevie Nicks).
4. Be touchy with yourself
This can tie into the previous one but it can also be something you do separately. No this doesn't have to be an inherently sexual thing but if that's what you're into and it makes you feel confident in your femininity then go for it. Being touchy can simply be hugging yourself when you're upset and need some comfort, it can be exploring your face as you do skincare, it can be gliding your hand across your body just to feel it. Being touchy with yourself is a great way to tune back into who you are. I personally struggle with feeling like I am living in the third person so this sensory stimulation is great at helping me return to the current moment instead of visiting my past.
5. Feel your emotions
Being emotional is often equated to being feminine (which is completely not true) but it鈥檚 also got a negative tone surrounding it. People may tell you to get over it, to keep pushing, to try harder, and to ignore your feelings but healing your feminine doesn鈥檛 need you to forget and walk away from your emotions. If being emotional is a feminine trait then surely the answer to healing your femininity is to do so. Cry when you need to, scream into pillows, shout at nothing, feel your negative emotions just as much as your positive ones. Being emotional is not a bad thing and embracing that is so important in healing.
6. Ask a Goddess for help
Some people don鈥檛 work with or believe in deities and that is completely fine, but if you do then this may be something you want to try. As mentioned, Rhiannon came to me and started helping me finally heal my issues with being feminine. If you work with a particular Goddess then you may want to ask for their help but if you don鈥檛 have one, in particular, you may wish to call upon goddesses such as Selene, Aphrodite, or Persephone (or any that you feel a strong pull towards). You can pray, write letters, talk to them out loud or ask them to help you during healing rituals. How you ask them for help is entirely up to you but remember to be respectful and return the favour.
Healing is different for everybody and what works for one may not work for others but hopefully, something listed will give you a starting point in your journey. It takes time too so if your progress is slow then focus on the fact that you're actually making any progress at all because that deserves to be celebrated. Know that you aren鈥檛 alone and all survivors are on this journey together.

Childhood memories
It is strange,
How you hurt me so long ago,
The little girl who trusted you,
It is strange,
That she is so different to me,
Better,
Stronger,
Happier,
It is strange,
How she is experiencing your vile lust,
But i am the one carrying the memories.

Love rivals
Your love for me was always rivalled by your love for yourself,
And I do not mean to call you egotistical for you never could be.
You see, to love me is to not love yourself it seems,
And I do not mean that I would not love you for I love you dearly so,
To Love me is to stay awake every night as I scream and cry,
To love me is to always have to prove your affections as insecurity grows,
To love me is to always be by my side as I have nobody else,
To love me is to continuously beg I go to therapy,
To love me is to let your mental health deteriorate,
To love me is to lose your sense of self-worth,
To love me is to slowly stop loving yourself,
To love me is to one day leave me and never do that again,
Your love for me was always rivaled by your love for yourself,
And I wish the two were not enemies anymore.

Mercury - Planet of language and communication
To you,
To my parents聽 /聽 To my sister and brother / To my one and only love / To the person who smiled at me on the street /聽 To the girl in the bookshop with really good taste / To the person whose style I loved / To the dog who was happy to see me / To the moon that shines down on me / To聽
To the man who cat-called me / To the girls who bullied me / To the siblings, I had to raise / To the friends who left me behind / The the ex who hurt me / To the mother who didn鈥檛 support me / To the father who abused me / To the family friend who used me / To everyone on this planet I hate
To me / To the person I was / To the person I鈥檓 becoming / To the person I wish I could be / To the version of me being hurt / To the version of me coping with that / To the version of me who wrote letters she never sent / Letters about all the things she thought / Did they really keep you company when the world pretended you didn鈥檛 exist? / Why did you never say this to their face?
From myself and to myself.
