Femininity is wonderful<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not afraid of spelling things wrong<\/span><\/p>\n

The glitter pens and rounded swooping letters<\/span><\/p>\n

The memory of someone calling your handwriting \u201cnice\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

seared in your memory<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Femininity is loud<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the nights we watch our favorite movie musicals<\/span><\/p>\n

And we treat it like our own personal concert<\/span><\/p>\n

She laughs with me, jumping to the beat<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Femininity is lovely<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the exclusive fashion shows<\/span><\/p>\n

That take place on in cozy dorm rooms\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Littered with a trove of wonders<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Femininity is problem-solving<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Losing the key to my friends apartment because I<\/span><\/p>\n

Was cat sitting and not being met with anger<\/span><\/p>\n

But a, \u201clet\u2019s figure out what to do\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Femininity is self-love<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In the softer and harder parts<\/span><\/p>\n

And our love for one another<\/span><\/p>\n

Instills a love for ourselves<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Femininity is home<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the feeling of holding hands<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunsets on a summer day<\/span><\/p>\n

And the feeling of someone to hold<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how far away they are<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
