More than career every girl needs courage. Cos I hv seen brilliant doctors, engineers suffer dv n dowry harrasment. Indian parents train their kids to appease everyone n not thinking abt themselves is seen as a virtue. This mindset needs to go.
you do not owe your parents your dreams.
you can love them deeply and still choose a life they do not understand. respect is not the same as obedience. and the version of you that makes them proud should also be the version that makes you proud.
Just watched a video where a woman writer shared how her mum came over to help. Her mum did all the housework, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and childcare so she could focus. During her mumβs stay, writer TRIPLED her daily word count.
Then she said something that hit hard.
Most men have this kind of support their entire lives. Next time you call a man productive, consider that.
Damn. Still letting it sink in.
If focusing on your breath feels hard, try this instead. Place your hand on your chest and notice your heartbeat. Stay with its steady rhythm until you feel settled. Once your mind feels calmer, slowly shift your attention to your breath and guide your inhales and exhales.
