Two cups of coffee keep me wide awake tonight. I'm in the zone, filled with words, and there's no escaping this flow. Twenty-seven na ako? For real? Just a random thought!
When did you realize you had suddenly transformed into a woman?
You find that loud music no longer holds the same appeal; instead, you gravitate toward calm melodies that help you drift off to sleep. You’ve traded in three cups of rice for a more mindful approach to meals, recognizing that your metabolism doesn’t work the same way anymore. Trendy clothes have lost their charm, and comfort now takes precedence in your wardrobe.
You begin to notice your body more, constantly comparing your current size to those carefree days of youth. You prioritize balanced meals, craving more fruits and vegetables, and you find yourself drinking an abundance of water.
Simple greetings like “hello” or “how’s your day?” no longer spark the same excitement. Compliments that once made your heart flutter now feel like routine exchanges; while you appreciate the kind words, they don’t carry the weight they used to. You start to value presence, time, and genuine effort over fleeting attention.
Gone are the days of chasing boys who seek validation; instead, you desire a real man—one who embodies commitment and responsibility. You no longer long for just a boyfriend; you yearn for a partner who can become a loving husband and a dedicated father—someone who dreams of building a home and nurturing a family. It’s not about height or looks anymore; it’s about finding someone whose character and faith catch your attention—someone who leads with love for God through his actions and words. Someone who's kindhearted and can lighten life's load, making you laugh at a corny joke you can buy.
You also begin to understand older women better, appreciating their wisdom and values. You see the strength in those who have raised children and the resilience of those who live independently. Their journeys inspire you, reminding you that this transformation into womanhood is not just about physical changes, but also about the depth of understanding and love that grows within.
You start to love your mother even more for all the sacrifices she endured to give you the life she believes you deserve. You value every piece of her—the way she wakes up each morning to prepare breakfast, the way she cleans up every mess around the house, the way she raises her voice when she loses her temper, the way she prays at night, and the way she dedicates her womanhood to her children. Each of these moments reveals the depth of her love and commitment, and you come to appreciate the countless ways she nurtures and supports you.
You’ll come to realize that your worth as a woman is not defined by the labels society assigns to you. It’s not determined by the size of your pants, your appearance, the white gown you wear as you walk down the aisle, the children you bear, or the success you achieve in your career. Your worth is rooted in the profound truth that you are created in God’s image and valued far beyond rubies or jewels. He sees you, knows you, and continually reassures you that with Him, you will not stumble.
Your reverence for the Lord reveals your true beauty, for charm is deceitful and fleeting, while external beauty is transient. It is your commitment to honoring the Lord that deserves the highest praise.
You're still beautiful as you grow old!
