pondering on 'independence'
what does it mean to be independent?? not to rely on anyone? financially stable? was walking home from the busstop when this dawned upon me. many people say that i am relatively independent compared to some of their friends, but am i really? well, i can shop alone for hours, go to muscials by myself (which i have done a couple of times), watch movies alone, etc..hmm..does that mean that i am independent?many people perceived 'independent women' to be women who are financially stable, having a rising career, able to be on equal status as men. but does a woman have to embody these 'qualities' in order to be one? hmm...frankly, we women have come a long way from 'unseen' to be seen in the public eye. women have always been thought of as belonging to the private sphere, performing the role of 'bearers of the nation'...hmm..many thoughts running through my mind now...

In my humble opinion, I think "Independent" is better defined on someone who is focused on his/her own principles and living the life that he/she wants freely. Only then, not only the person will succeed in his/her goals but also learn the truth in times when things get bumpy along the way. What do you think? - Think again...
