I am officially a woman.

It's official. I bought pants from the womens' department at Kohls last night. Cute ones. From the womens' department. Because I'm a woman. Not a junior. A woman. After many, and yet infrequent, shopping trips, I have finally discovered that the fact that I can't wear pants from the junior section anymore is not a sign of the fact that I no longer weigh 112 pounds. Hello! It means I have hips! I am woman. Hear me roar. What has taken me ever so long to change my mindset, I have no idea. I am freaking 23. I've been an adult for at least 3 years as far as how I felt internally. Why didn't I translate this to how I think about my body? I don't know. But I am proud to say that I will no longer be looking in the juniors section for pants. Probably ever.

The End. Amen.

I've always had an aversion to the terms "Man" and "woman". They feel very garden of eden, I picture naked felt-board cut outs hidden in well placed shrubbery.
And if I'm not picturing eden, I picture these culturally degraded forms of masculinity and femininity. I picure a hairy emotionally disconnected man watching sports in an arm chair. Or I picture an over-worked, ehxuasted, and self degredaded mom.
