SiStAz of D wOrLd, UNITE!
Today's International Women's Day. Hence, the topic. Today, we celebrate the very essense of being a woman.
We celebrate
1. being referred to as the fairer sex, BUT definitely not the weaker.
2. being able to bitch with and about one another and not feel guilty about it.
3. being daughters, then mums, then grandmums.
4. being girlfriends, wives, ex-wives, spinsters (nothing shameful 'bout that, really).
5. being almost always fragile but in truth, having strength of character.
6. having the patience to put with the nonsense of 'men', like menstruation and menopause.
7. having to cry ourselves to sleep over a worthless man but end up leading a better life without him.
8. having to cope with the pressure of 'when are you getting married?' and 'when are you going to have a baby?'
9. having to stand tall even as we felt our world collapsing.
10. having to be a role model to our children.
11. having the chance to bring into world some of the most important people to shape the world we live in.
12. having the unfaltering belief that we, simply, can.
Every woman is beautiful.
