But Why?

Actually, Im supposed to write about what happened yesterday but I think I just want to write about something that is pretty disturbing to me. Like how some women continue to be tied down emotionally by low lifers whose ambition in life is to bring down the women who are doing very well on their own. Im talking about the women professionals who are making a name for themselves and whose income power is above average. But unfortunately, what saddens me is that how willing they are to lower down their standards and would rather face their husband's cold heartedness towards them just so that they can continue to be loved or that their children has someone to call as their father. But why?


I know I have never been in their position and it will be too easy for an outsider to simply tell such women to get out of their shaky marriage. If it is not physical abuse, it is emotional abuse and to me, both are just as bad. Everyone deserves a second chance and as hard as it is to forgive someone who torments us like we're just a piece of meat, it is harder to accept how one can change into a completely different person. But if it is always the case of torturing and then coming back like a lovelorn puppy begging to be picked up and to be loved again and again, what happiness are you giving yourself? Do we have to act like nothing happened? As modernised as we call ourselves that women have the capabilities to do the job that supposedly only men can do, we should applaud ourselves on that. The world will never be fair and men and women can never be equal because each has their own strengths and weaknesses. It is just a matter of trying to live in peace with one another and by making peace, it does not mean that we always have to conform to what the other person has to say. So he does shower you with all the love and he can be the perfect husband or the perfect father when he is not bashing you up. Then when he does bash you up or call you names, is that part of a husband's responsibility to the wife? What if the children witness all of this and then what do you say to them? That it is okay for the husband to treat the wife like that because it is his responsibility? What are you trying to teach them? And what if, they reciprocate that when they have their own families because mummy said it is okay?


Come on people, if you can rise above everybody to be successful in your career, you don't need some scumbag to treat you like dirt just so that you have someone to love you. If he truly loves you, he won't hurt you. It's just so sick and so inhuman. We're not some punching bag and if he is earning lower than us or having a business that is not doing so well and causing him stress, he should do something about it. We should not feel sorry for him just because he is unable to rise above the rest. Do you really want a husband who blames you for everything because of his bruised ego that cannot be nursed back because he refuses to help himself? We can help him in whatever we can but just don't be a victim here. The society may seem cruel to women divorcees because they think we bring these up upon ourselves just because they dont see the full picture and whatever it is, we are not at fault. Sometimes things don't work out doesn't mean we're failures. We just have to get up and show these people, who probably have nothing better to do than poke into people's business, that we are survivors.


We women, whether young or old, must stay united because it is not easy leading our lives as there so many responsibilities that we have to carry. Thats what makes us special because even though we have to work extra hard to show the men that we can earn just as much or even more than them, ultimately we're doing it for ourselves. We're not doing it because we want to show the men whose boss so why do some women still think that we cannot survive without men. Yes, we cannot completely ignore the opposite sex because they are still God's creations and the important thing is that we have to live in harmony together. But not all treat us with respect so don't be a victim to them. Sure they can be so lovey dovey at first but if they got bored with us halfway, it still doesn't give them the priviledge to treat us like dirt.


Come on, stop blaming on yourself and then destroy yourself slowly. Pick yourself up and bring up the courage in you to try and move on and build a better life. It is not easy to let go of the past and then we have to learn to renew our self esteem but do what you can to regain back your self worth and self happiness. Ask for help if you can't handle it alone and you'll be surprised to see how many people out there are willing to help us. But first, try to let go and help yourself. Trust me, it will get better. You deserve the respect.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
