Dear, You

Dear woman who is currently struggling for her own future,
I know that we are on the same battle and I comprehend that in the last few days, weeks, or months, things have been hard on us.
I completely understand that we have no option but to keep going meanwhile there are many, many excuses for us to complain or to take a break for a little while.
I completely understand that at certain degree life seems unfair, at least to us particularly, because we see many people who we think have less effort than us turn out to earn more than us.
I completely understand that sometimes everything goes beyond, far beyond our plan no matter how organized we are when creating one.
I completely understand that some people go against us without logical reasoning or at least in a way that we cannot find rationality behind their arguments and even if we can argue with them we choose not to because that would be one wasteful investment.
I completely understand that we often forget our personal life for our minds are infatuated by works and to-do lists and we know we need to prioritize things over things.

I know we got million reasons to cry, to complain, to detest, to hate, to throw up, to scream, and to be sick of it. Instead of doing that, we pretend to be okay. We try to mimic that everything is in order. We try to maintain good communications with everyone in any possible way. We do all of those things because we have a goal, to be an independent woman.

People would ask, "Why?" or would say, "Don't push it."
And the only answer that we got was only, "Why not? We should not depend on anyone because I will have to fulfill my own needs with my own money."
And some would say, "You have a partner, or boyfriend, don't you?"
And we would think people who say that are stupid but we just could not say that because that's our way of being nice. Instead we would say, "Meh. Even if I have one, sometimes life happens and problems are getting on the way and we need to have a back up plan." while our mind keeps going like, "I know that I will marry a man in the end but that's not my number one priority for this time and I just need to earn money for my own, regardless me and my future partner would share wages or not. I just need to. That's for sure."

Dear woman who is currently struggling for her own future,
If one day you are sick of everything, please, pretty please take care of yourself. Give yourself a break, a short vacation, or a quick getaway, or a coffee talk with your best companions.
If one day you are sick of everything, please, pretty please remember that your effort will bring you somewhere. You only need to wait a little bit longer.
If one day you are sick of everything, please, pretty please understand that there are people out there who are willing to listen to your complaints, to spare their time for you.
If one day you are really really sick of everything, please, pretty please keep in mind that it's just another phase of life that you know you will go through it in the short run.

Dear woman who is currently struggling for her own future,
You are destined to have the future that you want. Or maybe a future that is, maybe, just maybe not ideal for you, but that turns out to be the best thing for you without you knowing.

Just take a deep breath for a while, sip your cup of hot chocolate, listen to the music that you like, watch some movies, go to the beach, or take a minute to contemplate for once in a while.
Life might give you lemon at first but I know you can make it to be a double chocolate cake in a way that only you can decipher.

Sincerely,
Your alter ego that is often ignored by you.
p.s.: Sorry for bothering you at times like this but that's my way of being true.
