PRINCESS OR WARRIOR

Naces. You are a beautiful little girl with light eyes and reddish skin. Without any effort, you become daddy's little princess, of mom and all your surroundings. Y, unconsciously, for many years, You carry a pretty crown on your head that accompanies you wherever you go, feeling yourself the dearest person, lucky and happy world.
But, one day, without knowing why, you feel that social pressure that says girls shouldn't be princesses, but warriors. So be it, you think. You don't understand why and, surely, you don't know how to do it. But calm down, that that's what life takes care of. Suddenly, one blow after another make that pretty crown vanish to make way for a great shield and armor that, for sure, weighs three times more than you. Slowly, you become that warrior that everyone expected. You're a strong woman, brave and independent. Even, You pretend to hate princesses and, occasionally, you hear yourself say that you don't need the help of any prince to be happy. What if, probably, it doesn't go so bad. But one day, without being able to remedy it, you realize that something is wrong. You miss something, something you don't know what it is. You have become too cold and even a little calculating person. You no longer follow your heart or let yourself be led by your intuition, the one that has helped you so many times, and you only hear that part of you that doesn't stop automatically giving orders on how you should act. Y, Unfortunately, you don't like what you see and much less how you feel. So, without really knowing why, you start to miss that sensitive and delicate princess. That human princess who, without knowing it, I was already strong, brave and independent. And it is, in this precise moment, when you start to ask yourself this wonderful question that, hopelessly, will accompany you the rest of your life. Princess or warrior? Surely, you will wonder why, although very soon you will find the answer, discovering that it is simpler than it seems. As simple and involuntary as being born with a vagina between the legs was. Yes, although it seems incredible, this fact makes, at least once in life, have this kind of doubt.
Do not be sad, it will take you a while to make a decision, obvious. You are totally free to take yours. Even if, if you allow me my friend, I will tell you that if I have learned anything positive in this life, it is how nice it is to give up being all day with the shield raised and the pistol loaded, just as it's fascinating to refuse to carry a crown on your perfect head for life. So, let's be smart, Why self-force ourselves to choose if we were born with the super power of being Warrior Princesses?
