Being Women

What does it mean to be a woman in this male dominated society? Well, for me it is to stand strong for the things I believe in and to wear the crown of confidence and pride for being rare in abundance. 

To be a woman is to wake up an hour early in the morning just to set the breakfast and ready the kids for school. It is also to make it for work all the time and smile even when the period cramps are killing you. It is to have flawless skin despite the sleeps derived. It is to walk in 3 inch heels and swallow the pain it is giving to the legs. It is to be at par with the male colleagues at office in every aspect while humbly taking in the comments and reminders from them that we are women. It is amazing to see the extend a women can go.

I assume the list of privileges will go on but one should not forget being a woman is also to raise your voice when needed. It is to be able to take one’s stand when treated with injustice just because we are women. It is to have dreams and ambitions beyond taking care of the family and home. It is to take equal opportunities and take the front seat which has always been occupied by the males. It is to take care of one’s emotions and vent out if needed. It is to support other women and take time to listen and hear out their stories of being women. It is to celebrate ourselves and the privileges bestowed upon us for being a woman.

To all the women out there I am glad to be one of you.

Cheers to being women
