My Pink Roadmap

 So tell me about your beauty, your irresistible attraction.

All women are born beautiful.
Knowing that, however, is their choice!
All women are born deserving love.
Choosing that is up to them.
I have no bonds or boundaries;
I love whom I choose and when I want.
I'm free in my love; I am in bliss.
In my senses I rejoice.
You do not choose me-
you're afraid of my freedom-
you judge me.
You pollute me with your thoughts, your shame and your guilt.
I'm moved to ecstasy when I love;
when I mate I become one.
I know how.
Everything that breathes and is alive comes under my domain:
doves, dolphins, swans,
roses, irises, lilies.
All pleasures and sensuous delights.
perfumes and oils,
lustrous fabrics, foods and drinks.
Music thrills my soul:
the lyre, the harp, the soft sounds make love to me.
The waves of the sea-
oh, yes, there you'll see me
in the ocean,
in the sunsets,
all the exquisite beauty between birth and death,
when day meets the night.
Why do you fear death?
I die every time I mate. I am in ecstasy.
I give myself over and over and over again
to the glory that is love in the moment.
I have no fear of losing myself.
Oh, there is the secret:
to give oneself and keep oneself intact.
That is my bliss, my mortal, divine bliss.
I know who I am.
I smile. Can you see
My secret smile?
To whom do I belong?
I belong to me.

I feel as if this story has been a long time coming. I want to honor a very special person in my life, my Aunt Doris, A True Pinkie. Doris always tells me how proud and in awe of my writings she is; it boggles my mind because for so long I have been in awe of her. Though there have been many people that have contributed to who I am today, I feel that Doris, above all has made the largest impact on my existence.

For as far back as I can remember, Doris has been my teacher, my mother, my guidance, my inspiration and more importantly my creativity. When I was little, most of my time was spent at her house. Everyday was a new adventure; from having friends of the neighborhood over to play to creating recipes from peanut butter and sugar, the fun never stopped. One of my most favorite activities was playing dress up. Doris had several old prom dresses, wedding gowns and bridesmaids dresses from garage sales and hand me downs that I so elegantly strutted around the house in. She was always encouraging me to have fun and to express myself.

There was never a moment I felt I couldn’t confide in her. Doris was always very open and honest. When it came to matters of the heart or a moment where I needed guidance, she was the first one to lend an ear without passing judgment. As I was growing up, Doris was the example of what unconditional love was for me. I had always felt like she was my biggest fan. Even in the moments where my morals slipped a bit, she right there waiting to catch me when I fell. She never gave up cheering for me.

As I am getting older, I realize how wonderful of a woman Doris really is. She is always going out of her way to help the people she cares about. Whether it is designing amazing gift baskets for baby showers, picking up her grandkids after school or having dinner ready every night for her husband (and anyone else who decides to drop by,) Doris is a Pink Goddess. Her selfless is untouchable.

My purpose of getting my story out there, Pinkies, is not just to honor my wonderful Aunt, but also to remind everyone that the only reason for our existence is to love one another. On a daily basis we come into contact with numerous amounts of people (the internet counts too!) Don’t ever forget that every conversation, every comment, every hug and every compliment reaches out to those people is ways we may never know. Take some time to honor your favorite Pinkie and let them know how they make a difference in your life!

 

Loving You,
Megan Monique

  (PS. Doris, Thank you for being in my life! I love you more than words can express.)
