@feminworth: Shakira is challenging something women have been taught for generations: that there is a “right” way to deal with pain. Be strong. Keep going. Don’t let anyone see you fall apart. Be okay for your children. Be okay for everyone else. But healing doesn’t follow a script. Sometimes you cry. Sometimes you’re angry. Sometimes you’re completely fine for a few days and then something hits you all over again. And none of that means you’re doing it wrong. You don’t owe anyone a timeline for your healing. You don’t have to make your pain look beautiful, productive, or inspiring just because other people are uncomfortable seeing you struggle. You get to decide how you heal, how long you need, and what moving forward looks like for you. Follow @feminworth for more. #selfworth #powerwoman #independent #confidence #womenempowerment
