Pride yourself with not only your external beauty but also with your internal beauty –
the beauty that the opposite gender finds hard to understand.
Pride yourself with the beauty that you can see reflected in your eyes not through a mirror.
This kind of beauty is rarely understood.
Women, there is nothing wrong with crying or being independent
but there is something wrong with degrading another woman or laughing at their mistakes.
We are woman!
Being a single mother is often not by choice,
we have trust because that is in our nature.
We are called names, names that destroy our dignity but take note;
we are far beyond those names.
Take a minute and look at the woman next to you,
and realise that we are all heading in the direction
even if sometimes we take different routes.
Whether we like it or not, we are.
