THE QUINTESSENTIAL WOMAN

That beautiful girl whom you see with an alluring smile and an exuberant spirit? Yes, I am talking about her… she isn’t just soft and vulnerable. On the contrary she is steel and strength. She has her own insecurities and fears. Her own demons to fight. Her own struggles and challenges to face. And yet she stands facing the storms bravely.

Do not judge her by the ways she dresses, just because she might be wearing flamboyant clothes does not mean she has a poor character. Do not get mislead by breezy disposition, just because she wears an ebullient smile does not mean her heart is not clouded with pain. Do not judge her if she is open and friendly with you. No, it does not mean she is available. Just because she does not retaliate and give back does not mean she is not hurt, it only means she is an emotional fool not to hurt you back. Just because you might take her for granted does not mean she is weak and cannot see through you. She has a life of her own. She will give you enough chances, but once she decides she will draw that line and move on. She is wild, but her loyalty is never doubted. She does not stand to be your second choice for she is unique.

Yes, irrespective of all the challenges and pain, she is proud to be the woman that she is. She would never trade her identity to being someone else. She loves her flaws and flaunts her scars. She flirts with pain and dances with challenges.

She evolves as a fighter and eventually an achiever. She has this Never-give-up attitude towards life. Be it for a life goal or for a relationship. She is an exuberant spirit and a bit of a crazy girl who learns to cross the bridge when it comes. She plays multiple roles in the lives she touches. She becomes a Faith healer, a Spiritual Traveller, a Laughter Therapist, a Miracle Fabricator, a Smile Unroller, a Dreamer, a Solitude Aficionado and much more from the various experiences’ life throws at her. She is fun loving and free spirited and yet she remains grounded. She might lose a parent or a lifetime friendship, but never loses hope. Emotional loss exposes her heart to the feelings of betrayal and hurt. Somewhere along the line her innocence is taken over by life who keeps teaching her lessons repeatedly. Until she truly learns from them.

She keeps falling and rising, keeps failing and fighting, keeps walking and sometimes crawling. She keeps the flame blazing in her heart.

She keeps meeting wrong people in her life, keeps trusting them, keeps getting hurt until years later she learns the lesson the hard way. Making the wrong choices and getting the heart broken only makes her stronger.

She never allows bitterness, loneliness, depression, anxiety and all possible negative emotions to flood her heart. She does not break down and vanish in the dark. She chooses to rise. She chooses to evolve. She chooses to grow.

Somewhere in a parallel world on the emotional front she is losing people who are the pillars of her life. She enters the big bad world of the Corporate life. And against her wishes she gets sucked in the rat race. Not because it is her choice, but because it is a survival instinct. She maintains her sanity and dignity by sticking to her principles along the way which makes her journey difficult and challenging.

If she is a single woman, it only adds to her woes. She is pressurized by the society and looked upon as an incomplete person. As if getting married is the sole purpose of a woman. She is mocked and ridiculed. She is thought to be frivolous and irresponsible. On the contrary a single woman handles more responsibilities single handed. Little does the society know the kind of hardships a single woman goes through.

And if this was not enough, the Corporate life sucks for a single woman. She is judged for her physical and emotional strength. She is questioned about her marriage plans during interviews, and if she married, she is asked about her family plans. She is strayed by lewd comments and sexual harassment at workplace.

And yet, she is confronts it all. She is a believer and always the giver. That quintessential woman loves being in love and being loved. She is desirable and funny. Inspiring and motivational. She knows her way and does not fear to walk alone. That quintessential woman is comfortable in her skin and does not need your validation. She is complete and happy within her world. Ready to share her world, her happiness and joy, her love with someone who meets her at her level of consciousness. She is happy without you and yet, she loves your presence in her life. She is complete without you, yet she loves to share her life with you.

She is Love 💓, that quintessential woman.
