Louise Trudel
The mirror
At a particularly trying time in my life, a friend told me:
"When a woman says she can no longer do it, she is drawing on that reserve that never runs out."
She was right. Because even when nothing is going right, we keep going. We keep drawing strength from it.
We take up arms.
We are women
We love. We give our all. Instinctively, we help, support, and defend what we love.
Instinct
It's our molecular programming. It's our genetic memory, passed down through thousands of generations… because don't forget, we are primates with large brains. Homo sapiens.
Pain
Despite this natural impulse, we have all reached this alarming point where continuing to move forward hurts.
We found ourselves in the middle of quicksand, trying to keep our heads above water, screaming with our eyes "HELP ME! ASSISTANCE!" but without making a single sound.
We've all experienced that moment when we look at ourselves in the mirror and don't recognize who we've become. And we never forget who we once were.
Time passes
One day, you manage to look at yourself in the mirror. You smile shyly. You say to yourself, "I'm back." I'm back, a little bruised, but straighter and stronger. A kind of version 2.0.
Wise, cynical (perhaps) but burdened with baggage which, ironically, will lighten the next journey.
The message
One day, someone close to us delivers this life-changing message that transforms our lives. A message that shakes us, that revives us, and that makes us feel what is truly important.
One day, the messenger of this hope, IT'S YOU! You are this renewal, this long-awaited impetus because it is YOU who is holding this branch that will propel another woman out of the quicksand.
Thanks
I say thank you to all those women who instinctively fought for their beliefs, their love, their passion and, later, our lives.
I say "Courage!" to all those who are fighting for their future, their children, their territory.
To all those who are going through difficult times, I would like to extend this branch to pull you out of the quicksand.
My personal note...
I'd like to take a moment to send a personal message. Thank you to all the extraordinary women I know. Each of them could tell her inspiring story, filled with suffering and solidarity. Despite their pain, they all reached out to help, lift up, and support others, even when they were no longer able to.
I am certain of it now: we all have an inexhaustible source of love that does not make us vulnerable, but stronger.
Look at yourself in the mirror. You're perfect. 🥰
To Marianne, Chantal, Nathalie C, Nathalie B, Claudie, Karine, Dominique, Maryse, Marilyne, Nancy, Suzanne, Julie and Marie-Christine, thank you for being part of my life.
