embrace your Fantasy of eternal girlhood

I've never been a Swifty but Mollie Adler's talk where she analyzes Taylor Swift's Tortured Poet’s Department from the perspective of depth psychology. In the intro she says: “Central to our exploration is something called the Puella aeterna archetype, Latin for the eternal girl. This archetype is marked by innocence, spontaneity and a reluctance to embrace the complexes of adulthood." Where the fairytale romance is real, your feelings matter and empires can be built out of the drama of a girl's heart. mush mush lush 😆 Listen to it https://open.spotify.com/episode/2q92Fvf1sPOOcaFMY1lyu3?si=TLRoBtWiSAegNBcHFHlntQ&nd=1&dlsi=b2bafbe5bd8a4c21

experiences of womanhood/girlhood

When I think about ‘my tastes’ in an expansive way, I think the common thread is explorations of femme-ness— living as a woman, being perceived as a woman, experiencing girlhood, existing as a woman within (or really under) masculine cultures/political structures/households etc. I often joke to my friends that I don’t read male authors because I don’t want a tourists guide, but I do find that almost all of the art I enjoy is women’s work. Favorite artists: Faith Ringold, Camille Claudel, Artemisia Gentileschi, Claudette Johnson Favorite poets/writers/authors: Maggie O’Farrell, Ada Lìmon, bell hooks, Charlotte Brontë, Valeria Luiselli Favorite directors: Celine Sciamma, Kelly Reichardt, Celine Song, Sarah Polley, Greta Gerwig Favorite films: Petite Maman, The Worst Person In The World, Frances Ha, Ladybird Outside of the art I consume, I think my life is very oriented around womanhood— my apartment is overtly a woman’s house, my closest friends are women, the ways that I exercise and cook and dress are all intentionally oriented around my woman’s body and it’s cycles and needs but also the expression of being a woman, like not just a human person but a Woman, in the way that bell hooks and Virginia Woolf write about.

pivoting from ”girlhood” to ”womanhood”

in my very unimportant opinion, too many adult women are obsessed with “girlhood” and embracing a “girly” lifestyle and I can’t for the life of me understand why they aren’t embracing “womanhood.” are adult women simply afraid of what leaving girlhood behind would mean for them? is it the prospect of the added responsibility that comes from being an adult that keeps them attached to their younger years? or is it just the aesthetics of girlhood that keep them in that mindset? yes when we were girls the world was so open, so new, so mysterious. why should that have to change entirely with age? some women may have more lived experiences and aren’t as easily impressed or mystified by things as they were during girlhood, but i think thats all relative to perspective. there are still sensations, mysteries and first times after the age of 25 and even 45 and so on. shouldn’t we experience it through the lens of women who have already passed the trials of girlhood? maybe this is just another millennial problem.
