Dear Sis,
Today the whole world celebrates you in International Women’s Day. They’re recognizing your efforts and achievements, and urging you onwards, forward, and upwards.
But how are you, honestly?
The world seems to be sucking and extracting and taking so much from you; so many expectations and standards they put on you, simply because you chose to be a multi-woman:- juggling career and education and family and life.
How’s that going, by the way? Are you ok?
There seems to be so much to do, dear Sis. So little time to do it, so little room for expression and acceptance of who and what you areā¦
So much negativity and pulling down, so little to motivate and encourage, sometimes.
How are you coping with being a 21st century woman in a 21st century world? One woman to another, I just want to confirm that it’s not easy. I just want you to know that yes, it’s not your imagination or your worry or paranoiaā¦ The fears and insecurities you have, all those anxieties and nailbiting moments are very, very real. And if we don’t let them out, if we don’t scream them out, if we don’t express them, then they’ll swallow us, consume us, overgrow on us and choke us down.
More often than not, when we are provoked, we are called crazy, bitter and psychotic, when we are overwhelmed by emotions and cry it out we are labeled hormonal, but thatās alryt. I just want to say, you’re not alone, and you’re not meant to be alone too. I’m here, we’re here – a whole tribe of achievers and goal getters and dreamers and creatives out there. Women just like you, going through it, going under, but never, never giving up.
So get a break if you can, catch a breather if you want, cry it out, go through it, but don’t ever, ever, give up. And say they say, to all the strong women, may we love them, may we applaud them but most importantly; may we be them
Because #mentalhealthmattersā¤ļøš§ , dear Sis.
Yours lovingly, caring, and ever there for you,
I, fellow Woman.
