Tell Yourself: I Am A Woman Who Can Conquer The World

Tell Yourself: I Am A Woman Who Can Conquer The World

 When I decide to pick a particular college, everyone says that the other one might be a better option and that I should choose that one instead. I don’t listen to them and I do what my heart wants me to. 

 

I promise myself that I will show them what it means to be a great student. Not a great one, an excellent one. 

 

It may not be enough for some people because there is always a specific person (my aunt’s aunt) that says that the college I have picked isn’t good at all and that I have no bright future with it. 

 

I promise again: you will see that I will succeed. I will find a job that I love and develop in it. I will make progress and become the best in my field. 

 

Of course, there is always someone that may show up and say:  

– but, you are not married, are you? 

 

I smile and continue to wait for the right person. I find him and enjoy our relationship. In the end, we get married. 

 

It can all be great, but someone will soon burst in: 

– it’s all great, but how come you have no children? 

 

During those moments I want to become a dragon and put everything in front of me on fire. However, I stay peaceful and answer: we are waiting for the right time. 

 

Two years later, we have a baby. Healthy baby, healthy us, good jobs and a good house. However, these kind-hearted people come again and yell: 

– One child only? What a shame that your family is so small… 

 

We all know how it goes further on: 

We get a second child later. In those moments I was still the woman “who will never succeed nor have a nice future.” I had a group of people around me who always found things that don’t fit them, and they love to show up in convent time too. 

 

One of my friends usually says this to people like that: 

– I am happy, and therefore I am telling you more about it. Please, keep your crap away from me and let me love my happiness. 

 

I love her! She always says the things we all think, but somehow always move away from. 

 

I didn’t work since I had other things in mind: college, job, marriage, kids – they came right when the needed to. If I had listened to others, who knows where I would be today. 

 

But, I am sick of people like these. Because I look around and see more people like me being insulted by sayings. I know women that are mad because they are 40 years old and have no husband, yet people want to the point that out.  

 

I see couples with no children constantly being asked why did they choose this option in the end. 

 

I want to grab all of these women vs their shoulders, shake them a bit and let that dragon out! They need to know: YOU ARE ALL WOMEN WHO CAN CONQUER THE WORLD! 

 

You know what they say: a woman is weak only while her nail polish is drying. 

 

Well, be happy, my fellow women! 

 

Don’t let anyone bring you down and surround you with fire when you are fire yourself. Dream your dreams and then live them too! 

 

Those who don’t think that it is good for you aren’t supposed to be a part of your life: let them go away. 

 

Have faith in yourself! Even when nobody else does. You will always have flaws.
