In a Woman's World

More than a half of the World's women population had pictured themselves in a wedding dress, marrying their prince charming as little girls.
We hold this dream so dear until our first breakup with a dear boyfriend, and then, the guys who come after this period, fall victims of the heartless guy who they came after.
We then go to schools, where we meet the girls who have gone through the same situation, make friends and talk about our broken hearts over and over again, until it does not affect us anymore.
At this point, we are not surprised anymore when a guy is acting all funny. Most probably we are prepared for the worst but are still willing to fight some more.
Many are times when we refuse to get over the past and dwell on it as a means of reference to any bad situation that comes up in our lives. We begin to doubt everyone including our girlfriends. We are angry at everyone. We put up a 'trust no-one policy' which inturn does us more harm than good.
People then start to judge us by our new developed character. We then think they all hate us. It kills our morale, we turn out to the best friend, sister or mum for advice and they serve us with a plate of truth, ofcourse we do not like it. It is clear now more than ever, that nobody 'likes us'.
We then have to prove to everyone else that we can be independent and happy. Remember, this is a story that only exists within our souls. Nobody else around  knows a thing of what is going on, rather they think  we are a bit selfish and in denial, which sounds more like a truth.
So, we are grown ups. We are all set to have fun, date, meet people and just do what a lady is expected to. But, wait, what is wrong? We are rather to independent for men's liking and we turn out kinda intimidating .. It is good that some men find that really attractive and a plus for a wife-material. Sad news is, most will take to their heels.
Our childhood dreams begin to haunt us as adults. We cannot find the man of our dreams. Reality hits us and we have to do what the society demands; lower our 'standards' if we should get married. It is pretty hard, to just minus a lot to get one person. We do it anyway, but still we get to hear 'noone is perfect' phrase allover.
We have to deal with the truth and embrace reality and we will live happy ever after....maybe. Everyone will tell you to do all you can to save your marriage, as a woman you are what holds the family together, if a man cheats you should learn to let go for your kids' sake.
This goes to show you that as a woman, you are always carrying other peoples' wellbeing on your shoulders. You might have to do this all your life. That is why we were created as social beings with so much mercy and emotional attachments. I believe it is a mechanism that God installed in us so that we are able to adopt to all the unbearable moments in life.
 I also believe, just like everyone else we have the right to live a happy life as we deserve it. We should only carry the worthwhile weight on our shoulders. We then need to make decisions that make us happy and productive people in life, not the ones that add wrinkles to our faces and ulcers to our stomachs. Use that God-given spot given to us for our own benefit; ladies, come on you know it, right??
