The Essence of Womanhood

The Essence of Womanhood
Posted By: Jasmine Spence on July 08, 2008

The Essence of Womanhood
I don’t think I’ve ever received a pearl from someone that valued me as much as Aladdin treasured Jasmine… Actually … Come to think about it, I haven’t received a bouquet of roses or even a flower from that *special someone* either. It’s funny because life isn’t exactly how Hollywood portrays it in Sex in the City … You know; the beautiful bachelorette who’s womanhood shines throughout her gracious pride while in search for everlasting love… Aaaahhhh…. That breath of fresh air drifts me back to reality; a beautiful young woman who despite life’s up’s and down’s, grows throughout the eye of society.

Some may say pearls are a girls best friend…Some may also say they hold a lifetime of external beauty that shines internally. It’s truly fascinating how the essence of pearls mature, hidden deeply within the bottom of the ocean, individually concealed, lying peacefully between the shells of an oyster. Noticing the beauty of an actual pearl of course isn’t valued until it’s placed into an atmosphere of the social world, individually tied, bonded, or even laced… The essence of pearls itself declares beauty to the wondering eye.

Some may say flowers is what makes woman’s heart smile…Some may also say flowers are the key element of tickled happiness..



The essence of how flowers bloom to maturity itself is truly a remarkable journey from its seeded origin. Planted deep within the Earth’s core, its growth stability is simply phenomenal. Its seeded roots feed off daily nourishment provided by a little water and plenty of sunshine; both of which are smothered by gustfuls of everlasting oxygen… *the key elements of life*. It’s funny because although flowers seem to be in almost every glimpse of the naked eye, it doesn’t seem quite astonishing until it is placed into the hands of an onlooker. Its colors, shapes, and structures capitalizes the essence of the key elements in life… causing its beauty to be simply breathtaking.

Life’s growth to maturity defiantly has its own perception of beauty… in all things.

Lol.. That saying itself drifts me back again to reality_ a 20 year old young woman experiencing life’s growth at this very instant. From the eyes of a matured ALL things are perceived different_ different from the eyesight of an immatured. Around me, I notice how life’s perks can simply destroy or rebuild a person’s soul. Women (especially) seem to have the hardships and substantial struggles of society’s adventures…Those who have struggled to succeed? The story of a phenomenal woman… Those who have struggled to restrain and resign? The story of a pressured woman. Either way… Through each struggle lies the essence of womanhood.
