Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I woke up this morning and first thing I did as usual, was check my phone and found a line of messages wishing me "Happy Women's Day" and I said to myself , "Oh! Today's Women's Day".
I proceeded to begin my day as usual and then, treated myself to a breakfast with Strawberries and Fresh Yoghurt. I say, "Treated" , because I usually tend to skip breakfast but that's besides the point.
Then, On my way to work , I played all the woman empowering songs I knew since ever and felt this sense of pride of being a woman and for being able to survive in this Mantastic world, whether it be at my workplace, in my career , or at a personal level having paddled through many a muddy waters in relation to Men, comprising of biological , platonic and romantic relationships.
As I drove up to the office building and about to park, I found myself to be grooving in my car seat to Beyonce's "Who Runs the World ? Girls!! "
I later realized, I couldn't make much sense of the song as I heard it except for some parts like the title of course "Who Run The World ? Girls" and then "My persuasion can build a nation. Endless power, with our love we can devour.You'll do Anything for Me"
How many of us really get to play out these lines on a daily basis ? Should I walk up to my boss and say "You'll do anything for me" ,it'll probably lead to an HR issue and get me thrown out of the company. The song simply serves right as an art form of communicating the strength and power of a woman , like many others.
The Truth Lies Elsewhere
I love to be dramatic and gain much inspiration through various sources and then use that to express myself. I love it and it's what makes me, ME. However, in the real world, It's a little different.
Whenever we say WOMAN,we immediately think MAN.
Men have a great responsibility as much as we women do, to value and embrace the female being, her power, her strength, her beauty, her emotions, her weaknesses, her inhibitions, her mistakes & her flaws.
Below jotted down in points are some way's in which I think "WE" can all really say and feel
"Happy Women's Day".
She could be your daughter, your wife, your mother, your girlfriend, your partner, your best friend, your colleague, your teacher, your boss, your neighbor.
- Help Yourself - I think Women need to STEP UP more and start helping themselves. Try to stop being "VICTIM" to either your society, country, family, friends, boyfriend, partner, and above all , to Yourself. In today's tough world, sadly, it's all up-to you to make things happen, whether it be related to your career , your family, your relationship, your education, your lifestyle, your body. You are very lucky and blessed if you have a supportive family, friend or partner or society that builds you up and encourages you to be the best you can. For those who aren't so fortunate, you'd be better off stepping up and making some noise around what you want and going after it rather than sitting and moping around as to why someone else has or had it easier.
