The Much Needed Space

Why self-love is necessary for a woman

I wish I could write about the changes which I see but whenever I feel that we are in a better world something pushes me back. I need to search an answer to silence my thoughts and when nothing works, I write and try to calm my soul.

It’s never easy to be a writer when there’s chaos going around you. You can do nothing about it, you can just sit back and write and dream about a better world where women are not judged. I consider myself a free woman but I see those women too who have caged themselves. Who feel that they are living a content life just because they feel that they are supposed to please their family. I have seen them packing part of their soul in tiny jars and lining the shelf with it. Their fingers are stained with spices most of the time, when they are not cooking they either knitting warmth for the loved ones or pickling vegetables for the winters. That’s how they have learned to live, that’s how they have learned to forgive.

I know this too is a rambling which will be lost with time but when I see men talking about equality I feel like asking them is is the same in their home? Are the women in their home happy? do they have space to do things for themselves?

I feel like asking too many things but I know I can’t. I can start by changing things in my home, they don’t judge me when they see me reading or writing in my free time. They know just like cooking writing is important for me. Change is happening quietly and there is nothing wrong with writing your own rule or trying to hold the stars for yourself.

Always remember a part of the world belongs to you too, because you can’t be always a giver. You need love too.
