“I was a young girl, I never really wanted to be a girl. I wanted to be a woman”.
— Diane Von Frustenberg
The topic of today’s article may sound a little similar to our recent (free and open to everyone!) one on how to feel like a woman. And while that article discussed woman’s connection to her own womanhood, femaleness and femininity as an existential harmonisation, today’s will focus on finding that well-roundedness and gravity that many women crave to find.
On maturity we spoke in an another article as well but this one will address it from a different angle — while that one focused on the resistance we often feel in letting go of maidenhood, today’s will focus how to reach the stability and confidence you seek and associate with maturity.
You may have had a chance to hear many women say that they feel like a “clueless little girl”. She is lost in the big wide world and unsure what she is doing. Maybe you felt this way or a friend confessed that she felt so.
Such a woman feels that her actions and choices in life are random. She perceives that there is a general lack of coherence and with that, meaning to her actions.
The feeling like a “clueless little girl” is not only for the very young or younger women either. Many women will reach their 30’s still feeling so. Younger ones who feel the call of that maturity will often feel inspired and moved by mature women — these are the women who look like they know what they are doing and like the life does not scare them as much.
