I love being a woman

Don't mind me if I blog about women stuff a little bit more than usual here. I am a woman after all. Sometimes I feel that being a women is the most beautiful thing in the world. Maybe I'm born with good circumstances and I don't have to face the obstacles that women is the past have to face but I'm really blessed to be born a women. Though I know most men when ask the question "if you were given a choice, will you choose to be born a woman or a man", will normally answer the latter. For me, I will definitely want to be born a woman again in my next life.

Besides having the freedom to dress in different styles and go shopping every once in a while (ok, more like everyday), we women get to be sensitive, motherly, strong, feminine, and all thing sweet. We can choose to be soft and helpless and the next moment be the Joan of Arc of the 21st century.

We can choose to lead busy careers or be a stay home mum having the most noble job in the world: molding leaders of the future. We can know the feeling of having a living being grow inside us and know that we have endured the toughest pain of all: child birth.

What more can be more beautiful than being a woman?

Being in this modern world, it is even more crucial to equipt ourselves with everything to make sure we are happy ourselves without counting on others, especially when we are still sometimes viewed to be the weakest of the 2 sex.

I like the article below by Mia DeAngelo.

After reading Mia's article, I didn't know that being a woman can be so tough! I love being a woman too but in my own way. Anyway, that article's really good. It reminds a woman of what she's capable of!

josette,
Yeah. That's true. What she saying is kinda hard to achieve right? But I think sometimes its crucial for us to be happy ourselves without relying on other people because that's what women always do. Look for happiness outside themselves!

starwish,
