From a couple of months, I have been noticing some patterns in how our society functions, when it comes to women. Recently, I heard a woman getting beaten by her husband and the reason was that the husband was drunk. And I was taken away by the fact that how did that thought even come up in his mind. The number one reason must have been that his father used to beat his mother. But still, if in a relationship, both of the genders need each other equally, then why is the respect one-sided?
Another incident I heard was that a girl gave up her life because the man didn’t fulfill his promise of giving up his current relationship to be with her. Now, here, why would she wanna be someone’s second choice, to begin with. I might not know the full truth but generally, we girls lack the self-respect to know that life is much more than that. Life is much more than being rejected by a man. It is far much more than staying at a place where you are being mistreated.

Let’s teach our girls that there is so much more in life than men’s attention.

I know it sounds easy to say but hard to do, which in fact is true. But being a woman doesn’t make you any less deserving of a beautiful life. You are as much of a human as anyone else, and you deserve so much love, care, and respect. Let me break it to you, it all begins from within. Respect yourself as you would to the one you love the most and the purest action for self-respect is setting boundaries.

Would you allow something cruel happening to someone you love? Then, why would you allow it to happen to you? Love yourself enough to show the most real side of yourself without being ashamed. Be fierce, be loving, be passionate, and above all, be kind; especially to yourself.

Love love ❤
