As a woman, I wonder, we all in our stages of life do experience either or all of these feelings – growing into a beautiful young girl, getting attention from everyone around, having guy-friends who admire you, having girlfriends – few who look up to you and few who can’t stand you; feeling of love for the first time, first touch, first kiss and then so on. And the feeling of small achievements like finding an apartment for yourself, doing your own bills & forms or crossing the road or commuting by yourself.
And how about the feeling of great attainments – when you realize you are an independent woman who’s got a good job, who can shop until she drops, picking up her favorite pair of heels and clothing; buying gifts for her family and friends – feeling successful and unstoppable.
And then in the midst of all this, somewhere, we also gift ourselves with one such relationship (after trying to understand love for few times) that we wanted the most, invest in the most and yet there’s heartbreak. It always occurs – that is it & you may never fall in love again. You fight so hard to look beyond but see nothing.
By this time, you’re single, pretty, successful but bitten. And the funny part, most likely in the late twenties or thirty-something – – A perfect land of paradoxes!
We have our mess, yet clarity on most things now. We’re stuck, yet are driven enough to move on. We feel like a fool, yet are smarter than before to take on life. We struggle to pull ourselves out from our own circumstances every day, yet we are counseling many around us. We’re still stumbling, somewhere, to figure out that flaw within us which didn’t make us “the woman for The Man”, yet we still have few who resonate with that deep thought – “You’re Just Perfect!”
Secretly enough, we all wonder – are we, as a woman, still longing for that one man – that one man you can always fall back on? Who can pull you out of the whole mess that, perhaps, you created while making an attempt in understanding life till this point.
Remember, like that little girl inside us who used to consider her Dad as a Superman and always desired someone quite similar would come around in her life and she’ll be taken!
Do we all not wish to be bailed out from where we have imprisoned ourselves? Isn’t it true we still are looking for that one man who’ll rescue us?
And a better question to ask – Does he really exist?
Well, I don’t know the answer to that – maybe for few fortunate ones. For the meantime, let me say – “ I would answer that when I see one for me.”
But till then and beyond that point too – I see someone else – “She” – a more fortunate one.
I am ‘She’ who’s got her identity that is afar being someone’s mate. I am ‘She’ who can give herself a thousand reasons to be happy without anchoring it to someone. I am ‘She’ who’s a liberated, who feels beautiful inside and awesome outside. I am ‘She’ who can treat herself. I am ‘She’ who can party out with this world. I am ‘She’ who’s still got many dreams and many possible ways to fulfill them and I am ‘She’ who can take a good care of herself.
So at the end, maybe it’s you and only you who comes to the rescue from the lil’ mess that you dwell in. Maybe it’s you and only you who can pick just the right pieces of the frame to complete the picture. Maybe it’s that superwoman in you who will take a flight to the adventures of the universe.
Because it’s true –
The universe may not always play fair, but at least it’s got a hell of a sense of humor.
I am, also, that incredible ‘She’ – who met people on the way and might not have she left a mark in their lives for always, but surely in their hearts forever.
