Be Your Clitoris

"She told me my clitoris was not something I could lose. It was me, the essence of me. It was both the doorbell to my house and the house itself. I didn't have to find it I had to be it."

This is probably one quote that bought the whole book of monologues together for me. When I was younger my mother used to say that I had no business having sex because I didn't even know myself or what I was doing. I used to think she didn't know what she was talking about, but as I take this journey into adulthood I now understand completely what she was referring to.

She wasn't talking about the act of sex in totality, but she was talking about knowing myself outside of sex. She meant that I had to know myself as a person, not a vagina my anatomical organ. And those words taught me a valuable lesson, that I will pass to my daughter if I am blessed to have one. I want her to learn what it is to be a women, not a vagina, coochie, or cunt a WOMEN!!
