Four Independent Women

Just got back from a girls’ nite out with 3 friends.

On the surface, we are 4 independent women enjoying our single lives.

We are all attractive in our own ways. 

We are all fully capable of taking care of ourselves.

We have our own career.

And although, far from rich or being highly successful, we are all financially independent.

All of us had withstood our fair share of heartbreaks, disappointment and setbacks. We had dealed with loss of loved ones, sickness or family crisis. Somehow, we had survived and we know that we are capable of surviving through crisis.

None of us can actually fits into the category of “demure”, “gentle” or “helpless”. We are hardly the type of females to play damsels in distress. Cos we are so used to settling our own problems and doing things by ourselves.

And yet, we all secretly yearn the same things.

Love, a caring husband, our own family and kids.

A home to call our own.

Stability.

The assurance of being love and the joy of having someone to love.  

Marriage and motherhood.

Someone to build dreams and share your problems with. A partner to walk with us through life’s journey. A witness to our lives. A lifetime companion.

These are the things that reside in the secret yearnings of our hearts. The pictures that we paint in our mind. The dreams we build in our hearts.

4 independent women, who seemingly need no one and seem to be enjoying their freedom and independence.
