THE NINE LIVES OF WOMEN
<p>Today is International Women’s Day, and it is an opportunity to appreciate myself as a woman as well as every woman out there.</p><p>The world or men in particular have always enphasized that the lives of women has always been easy and men have the hardest lives .</p><p>The truth is,its not a competition.</p><p>Both men and women have difficult lives</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Women have been holding the world together long before a calendar decided to acknowledge it.</p><p>A woman is a quiet kind of strength.</p><p>She is the girl who learned too early how to be strong for everyone else.</p><p>The friend who listens even when her own heart is heavy.</p><p>The mother who gives pieces of herself away until her children become whole.</p><p>A woman is contradiction and harmony in the same breath.</p><p>Soft, yet unbreakable.</p><p>Tired, yet still standing.</p><p>Overlooked, yet unforgettable.</p><p><br/></p><p>History often writes men in bold letters,</p><p>but women have always been the ink.</p><p><br/></p><p>They are the prayers whispered in hospital rooms.</p><p>The hands that rebuild families after storms.</p><p>The voices that keep speaking even when the world tries to quiet them.</p><p><br/></p><p>And perhaps the most beautiful thing about women is this. </p><p><br/></p><p>Even after everything the world puts them through,</p><p>they still find ways to love,</p><p>to nurture,</p><p>to hope,</p><p>to rise again.</p><p><br/></p><p>So today isn’t just about celebration.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s about recognition.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because behind almost every life that flourishes</p><p>there was once a woman who watered it. </p><p><br/></p><p>Happy international women's Day ❤️ </p>
