Being a woman.

Today I had one of the most self-inflicted stressful mornings of my life.
Yes, I realize, that a LOT of my stress in life is from being irresponsible, NOT time conscious or just straight up lazy.
My parents have been scolding me for this for YEARS and yet, I still happen to get myself into shit.
The only difference now at this age is the fact that instead of crying petty tears over stupid shit..

I breathe and tell myself, "such is life."

It'll change one day but I'm young & 21, still making mistakes but whats best is that I am aware of my shortcomings and trying my best to change, for myself.
This whole independent woman thing is nice and my mantra for life, but we as women gotta be realistic about it.
We have to let ourselves make mistakes, have those days where we DON'T feel like superwoman... those are the days that we realize how strong we were really built.
Maybe just a simple reminder but a necessary one indeed.

So today, I plowed through my day and stayed focused on work at Primitive.
I let myself relax and just trust.
My mother always told me to be head-strong. My dad always told me to be tough.
You can't cry over spilled milk.
You just have to THINK.
You just have to be RESPONSIBLE.
No need to reevaluate your whole life... just let. it. go.

Being a woman means embracing all your shortcomings and all your strengths in equal amounts. It means falling down, letting it go, brushing it off, and keep strutting. I'm glad to see that you are embracing these moments in your life. Enjoy them, savor them, and appreciate them. <3
