As women, we pass through many stages
before coming into our own space and being comfortable in it. Our strength lies
often in being silent when we want to scream. Our strength lies in smiling when
we want to bawl our eyes out. Our strength lies in pretending we didn’t see the
hatred in someone’s eyes and being pleasant no matter what. Our strength lies
in loving our children whether that love is returned or not. In fact, there are
many relationships that we hold close because we feel the emotions.
Gradually, we begin to learn from our
different reactions to different episodes in our life , until one day, we realize
that we have emerged stronger and are able to smile where we cried, hug those
who we know could do without us , love those who we know are never going to
care as much as we do, forgive those we have hurt us and also forgive ourselves
for the hurt we have wittingly or unwittingly caused others.
And we women become stronger and stronger
as we start depending on ourselves instead of always looking for crutches. We
learn to deal with situations independently a time to rejoice.
