I am a women who lives in the 21st century.
It means I am a woman living in the 21st century
The ability to be an independent person and not forced to be nothing but a wife and mother.
Whatever I want it to be. I am lucky enough to live in a place where I have the choice. If that means a housewife in pearls, a mechanic in flannel, or retail worker in polo and khaki, it’s still my choice. ( Knowledge and skills for certain jobs not withstanding)
I can be single, married, the strange cat / dog lady on the block. Kids, no kids. My choice (In so long as nothing medical forbids the kids and happening to meet a partner that I want to share my life with happens)
Whatever choices I make, and the consequences that come with them, they are mine. For better or worse.
* You live your life *for yourself*, not for other people.
* You decide *for yourself* when and whether to have children and how many (if any) to have.
* You dress in clothes that make *you* happy.
* You decide whether to work outside the home, or whether to be a stay-at-home parent.
* If you are partnered, you don’t love your spouse/SO because you “need” them in your life. You need them in your life because you love them.
* You’re with them because you *want* to be, not because you “have to” be.
* And if you’re *not* married or in a relationship? It’s not the end of the world. You might (or might not) *like* to get into a relationship, but it would be the icing on an already amazing cake, not the cake itself.
