Let's be warriors
So when I was a little girl I wanted to be a warrior princess like xena or she-ra. I spent all my time climbing trees and making weapons out of sticks. I was a beast on the monkey bars I used to challenge the boys to races and win. Then middle school hit and I realized that it's not cool or practical to be a warrior princess so I turned to all things nerdy and science, I stopped climbing. I realize now, that I both lost a piece of myself and gained another side of myself at the same time. I love being a nerd, I love science, but I also love climbing and being strong and I'm getting back to being that warrior I once was. In these past 2 years where I've taken the time to rediscover myself and change my body for the better I feel so much more like me again. It's a me I haven't been in close 15 years, but it's a me I never knew I missed. I love obstacle races I would have loved them if I knew about them as a kid as much if not more than I do now. I don't know why it's taken me so long to realize that little kid me was right all along being a warrior is the coolest thing a woman can be. This year I'm doing obstacle races including spartan race striving to be the warrior I always wanted to be and someone little kid me would want to be. I really never should have stopped climbing.
