Ladies...Take Your Time

Growing up I have always seen women of my mother's generation manage their jobs and household responsibilities pretty well. That sometimes earned them little appreciation as well. But mostly, it was a never ending saga of work, work and work with literally no time left for themselves. And it was all applauded as a great quality to put one's mental and physical health at stake in order to cater to everyone's convenience. I would like to highlight the fact that their's was the generation where many women started going out to work which was not very common before that and hence the added pressure of performing not just professionally but also in the household. This generation was subjected to a lot of guilt for not being present for the family and children and they must compensate for it, but at the same time the monetary benefits from their earnings were heartily accepted. Their lives were a whirlpool of responsibilities that crushed their health, hobbies and identity. Now the next generation, which is the 90s women, they were also conditioned to carry forward this culture of over-exhaustion disguised as virtue. 

You see, we, as women have a natural tendency to care for people around us, which is a good thing but in upholding this virtue of kindness we forget to take care of ourselves.

However, one must realise that it is as important to take care of self as everyone else. It is crucial to find time to do things that you like and spend time for leisure. Women need to ensure that they are well fed, well rested and well entertained because they too are humans first and everything else later. 

So ladies, don't feel guilty for spending your time as you please, take your time, do what you want to do more than what you ought to do. Because you too have limited time in this life and you too are precious. You too deserve to be genuinely happy.
