Dear Woman

Dear woman, buy yourself an attire in black.
No, not to cover your flaws but show to the world you’re bolder than any colour

Dear woman, take efforts to put together a little sugar and spice.
May your signature dish be the highlight of every meal.

Dear woman, learn to cry without hiding your tears,
Tears need not be a sign of despair, but a cleanse of what’s not needed within.

Dear woman, learn to say no without guilt.
Like you always say yes to others without thinking.

Dear woman, forget about the hourglass figure.
You never know when curves would be in fashion again.

Dear woman, select a person in whose arms you want to crash beforehand.
So that you don’t have to knock on multiple doors when the need arises.

Dear woman, don’t fuss about the inch of your heels.
Eventually your confident stride is what makes you look taller.

Dear woman, don’t always suffocate yourself with an underwired push-up bra.
Remember those sagging breasts fed the most precious gift of your life.

Dear woman, strip yourself naked and learn to look at yourself in the mirror without feeling shy.
Never forget that every part of you was beautifully knit together by the One above.

Dear woman, don’t forget to carry with you some pepper spray.
It’s not just for robbers and rapists, but also for those who judge you without reason.

Dear woman, let your hair loose, cut it short or paint it with colours bright.
You never know if it suits you unless you try.

Dear woman, break off from that relationship that fails to see your worth.
Remember that your little sacrifices will be cherished elsewhere.

Dear woman, have something to do of your own.
Not just to be independent but to have a source that you can depend upon when you feel clueless.

Dear woman, learn to bake a cake.
So that on any birthday you may not be dismayed when no one arrives at the door with one.

Dear woman, don’t shy away from wearing dark red lipstick.
Remember it gets better when you finally decide to get bolder.
Dear woman, throw away the obsession of perfect skin.
Those blemishes and tan make you the real you.

Dear woman, you don’t need permission to laugh aloud,
At least once every day, laugh your heart out until tears pour out of your eyes.

Dear woman, stop worrying about grey hair or wrinkles,
Remember wine gets better and stronger as it gets older.

Dear woman, go on a diet if you want to,
But don’t forget to indulge yourself once in a while.

Dear woman, make plenty of friends,
Some who can make you laugh and some who will smile because of you.

Dear woman, be kind towards the old, your dear ones and your foes,
Remember your children are watching you and they will follow you.

Dear woman, allow your man to spoil you with gifts and dinner occasionally.
After all he’s got you!

Dear woman, pursue a hobby — sing, dance or write,
Remember you’re never too old to follow your dreams.

Dear woman, learn to accept compliments from strangers without hesitations,
Sometimes it gives hope, that a known ally fails to bring.

Dear woman, start and end your day with the almighty.
It’s towards Him that we all are headed.
