Her mother, Doña Sofia, looked at her with a mixture of surprise and concern. "¿Qué pasa, m'ija? What's going on?"
Doña Sofia smiled, her eyes shining with love. "De corazón, m'ija. From the heart."
As Lilith wrapped her arms around her mother's waist, Doña Sofia began to speak in a gentle, soothing tone. "Your body is a gift, Lilith. A beautiful, strong, and resilient vessel that carries you through this world. It's yours, and yours alone, to care for, to nurture, and to protect."
As they hugged, Lilith felt a sense of understanding wash over her. She knew that she had a lot to learn, but with her mother's guidance, she felt ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery.
