It's one of the most significant paradoxes: you are your own universe, your thoughts and actions are connecting this world around you, you hold your own power Versus reality, the reality of women and the masses who are systemically oppressed.
What universe do I exactly exist? Maybe when I'm conscious it's one, when I'm unconscious I fly to another?
As a physically and spiritually newly liberated woman, I have healed my old wounds. I got rid of the anxiety, the scare, and the distrust. I don't anymore find myself revisiting what happened when I was young and miserably hurt. I'm still intimidated by most men though, I'd rather have nothing to do with any of them. However I do have some good days when I'm more of the acceptive version, not afraid to let loose my feminine energy.
The thing is, I never gotten past being picky. Yes I can pretend - with most people, I'm rarely myself. Count the people I'm truly comfortable and relaxed with? Maybe one? Maximum Two? And looking for such encounters has never been my goal. If it drops from the sky, I'll take it; if not, I'd be happy anyway.
I knew I had a strong connection with this song since the beginning! The 76 y/o Rock n Roll Queen Stevie Nicks released this song last year in September following the overruling of Roe v. Wade to promote women's rights.
Aren't we our own universes? The entire world surrounding us is derived from us. Everything is interlinked by our energy and perception. Your power lies in the will to tap into the matters you care about. Whatever has the energy level to win your attention, you have equal power to alter its path. Everything is in your mind. When you close your eyes, the world goes dark; when you open your mind, the same world will be connected to the power source.
Then what are we afraid of? Who is to stop us?
"The Lighthouse"
by Stevie Nicks
I have my scars, you have yours
Don't let them take your power
Don't leave it alone in the final hours
They'll take your soul, they'll take your power
Don't close your eyes and hope for the best
The dark is out there, the light is going fast
Until the final hours, your life's forever changed
And all the rights that you had yesterday
Are taken away
And now you're afraid
You should be afraid
Should be afraid
Because everything I fought for
Long ago in a dream is gone
Someone said the dream is not over
The dream has just begun, or
Is it a nightmare?
Is it a lasting scar?
It is unless you save it and that's that
Unless you stand up and take it back
And take it back
I have my scars, you have yours
Don't let them take your power
Don't leave it alone in the final hours
They'll take your soul, they'll take your power
Unless you stand up and take it back
Try to see the future and get mad
It's slipping through your fingers, you don't have what you had
You don't have much time to get it back
I wanna be the lighthouse
Bring all of you together
Bring it out in a song
Bring it out in stormy weather
Tell them the story
I wanna teach 'em to fight
I wanna tell 'em this has happened before
Don't let it happen again
I have my scars, you have yours
Don't let them take your power
Don't leave it alone in the final hours
They'll take your soul, they'll take your power
Unless you save it and that's that
Unless you stand up and take it back
Try to see the future and get mad
It's slipping through your fingers, you don't have what you had
You don't have much time
You gotta get in the game
You gotta learn how to play
You gotta make a change
You gotta do it today
In the midnight hour, they'll slam the door
Make you forget what you were fighting for
Put you back in your place, they'll shut you down
You better learn how to fight, you better say it out loud
