They Were Wrong: Empowered Women Rock

They Were Wrong: Empowered Women Rock

From my dad who wouldn’t teach me how to work on a car because he’d rather teach my brother to the guidance counselor in highschool who told me girls weren’t allowed in shop class or mechanic class… Eff you! You were wrong.

Gender shouldn’t dictate what experiences and opportunities are granted or not. Especially, if the person is willing to learn.

I know how to check my oil now. I own and use a scroll saw, a drill, and have also used a reciprocating saw. And I’m eager to learn more. You may have slowed me down, but you’re not holding me back.

Here I am using a scrollsaw on an art project I’m creating & also showing off my drill. (I do not own the rights to the music in the video. This is a video I did for TikTok.)

Celebrate Life

I am celebrating my life and all the hard work it took to get to where I am now.

For the past two years, I’ve been working on healing my childhood trauma and ptsd.

Highlights From My Life In The Past Year

Looking back now, I see just how far I’ve come. Loud unexpected noises don’t cause my body to go into an adrenaline filled tailspin. It would make me feel sick for a day or two. I recover almost instantly now. And when I’m triggered, which is less often, I’m able to analyze why it happened and how to move through it.

Along the way, I received some therapy. I journalled, sat with my feelings and let them pass through (I don’t ignore or resist them now), I got outside and painted, took up sculpting, and researched quite a bit on Pinterest.

Here I Am Sporting A New Hairdo And Wearing Polymer Clay Earrings & Pin That I Made

Journalling helped me process my thoughts and emotions. I had several breakthroughs that way. And Pinterest gave me new information I didn’t have before.

I didn’t think I’d live past the age of 17. Yet here I am now at 43. At home in my body. Loved and accepted by myself. At peace.

I don’t know what’s next, but whatever it is, I’m hopeful and grateful.
