The Life of a Woman

The Life of a Woman:

A life full of melancholy and doubt.

You are judged every day

Based on your looks.

So don’t worry about having a brain...

They only care about the size of your waist,

The brands on your clothes,

How tall you are,

How tan you get,

The length of your hair

Wearing the brightest highlighter,

And may God forbid you end up over 130 pounds...

We live in a world infected by followers.

Don’t try to be different, because that would be a sin…

We  teach  our  girls:

You need to find a man to marry,

But he has to be perfect!

Have children,

Live that perfect life.

Why not teach them to love themselves?

 

If you can’t love yourself

How can you love someone else
