If we must celebrate a day for women, let us celebrate freedom from stereotypes, from expectations. Stop congratulating women for being the secret behind a successful man... Start saluting them for being successful. Stop telling women they are beautiful. Try telling them it's not important to be beautiful! Stop praising her roles as mother, wife, daughter, sister... Celebrate her as an individual, a person, independent of relationships.
Today I decided to forgive you. Not because you apologized or because you acknowledged the pain that you caused me, but because my soul deserves peace.
