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.
Seriously, be strong and know when enough is enough. Take your stand, speak up and refuse to let others hurt you. Throughout your lifetime some people will discredit you, disrespect you and treat you poorly for no apparent reason at all. Don’t consume yourself with trying to change them or win their approval.
In the end its not about who desired you..but who values you
Its not about who broke your heart but who mended it
Its not about those who let you down but those who held you up
It’s not about all the times you were called beautiful, it’s about all the days you felt it.
