In the journey of life, I found that I was meant to have a daughter. My personality has always been independent, marching to the beat of my own drum. I never envisioned my wedding day or fantasized about children, not even their names. As a child, I preferred stuffed animals over baby dolls; my toy dinosaurs feasted on my Barbies, while dirt was my closest companion.
As I transitioned into my teenage years, life became a struggle. I felt like I was constantly battling against something. I believed I alone held the answers, but that mindset took its toll. I drained myself, caught in the stubbornness of youth. In those formative years, I lost sight of who I was, becoming entangled in relationships, drinking, and the party scene.
Having children was never part of my plan. So, when I unexpectedly found myself pregnant after years with my partner, I was taken aback. I had thought I was incapable of conceiving. As the reality of bringing a new life into the world sank in, I found myself hoping for a boy. “I don’t know how to raise a girl,” I kept thinking.
However, when the day arrived to discover the sex of my baby, I was devastated to learn I was having a girl. Tears streamed down my face—an uncharacteristic display of emotion for me. My compassionate doctor reassured me, “Just wait; it will be okay.”
Fast forward two years, and I now have my little girl, the spark that ignites my soul and the joy of my life. The love I share with her is something I never fully understood until I became a mother. As I watch her, a curious two-year-old exploring our home, I realize that I know how to embrace femininity—not just as a girl, but as a woman.
It dawned on me that I am perfectly suited to raise a daughter. I understand what it means to be a strong woman, and I am committed to teaching her how to embrace her true self. She will have the freedom to wear a dress or camo pants; we will play tea party one moment and explore with a toolset the next. My daughter will never be confined to societal expectations; I will encourage her to break boundaries.
I have never felt limited by being a girl. Instead, that belief has transformed me into a more empowered woman. This realization makes me eager to teach my daughter how to become not just a girl, but a limitless woman. If I were to have more children, I would happily welcome another daughter into my life.
