Ladies, Run your own world.

I remember a time when love was easy, relationships were taken day by day. When the words "I love you" actually meant something serious and couldn't be said unless they were really felt and not just a way to jump into something serious. Yes today, because of the stressful society we live in, the pushy families and the nagging mothers, many people end up in a relationship just because they're expected to. Many girls who are in their mid 20's and still single are not constantly showered with questions about why their not seriously involved with someone yet, but also suspect that something might be wrong with them. That it's 'not normal' to be single when you're that age, as if these girls are in their 40's and even then I believe it's not an issue, because it's not about the age. Of course given the double standard society we live in, it's okay to be a guy and be well in your thirties and not be questioned as to why you're not married yet.

But I wil not go into this guy/girl hypocrisy issue. I want to focus on all the ladies out there who feel bad about themselves because they're expected to control  and plan something so incredibly uncontrollable or predictable. Ladies, if you have not found that one person who makes you want to escape your dreams to wake up and be with him, and if that's what you're looking for, then don't settle for less just because society says so. It's painful to see so many beautiful, young, inspiring women who are held back from living their lives, discovering their career paths and loving themselves because of the time they waste being with someone or chasing some relationship that they don't even want to be with or in because they're made to feel too old and feel rushed to get serious and settle down. 

Believe it or not rushing into a marriage you don't want, will make you miserable and you'll still not have pleased everyone around you. They'll nag about when you want to have kids, and then which schools you'l take them to, and then which colleges and then they'll criticize you for not working and being a stay-at-home mum, or for going to work and they'll say you could be neglecting your kids and your husband.

So, it will be best to just always do what makes you feel comfortable and happy. Live by your own guidelines and morals. The rules and expectations of our community change, and they're not based on religion or anything logic for that matter, it's a male dominated culture and it needs a wake up call. 

As a women you need to think about your needs and your future, living the life you know you want and deserve. It's a beautiful thing to do what you want to do and love it. It does need guts, and strong will but it will become part of who you are and it send a message to all those people out there who can't control their own lives and so they try to control others' that you will not let anyone navigate your dreams to theirs for you.

clutches and stuff.

The clutch has become a glamorous fashion icon, not to be taken lightly. They might look petite and cute, but they can alter an entire look of an outfit and portray a fierce side to your fashion that other accessories sometimes can't.  Clutch purses are not only simple and elegant, but they are a final tough, a statement to sum up what your mood is by what you're holding as much as what you're wearing. Clutches are one of the easiest ways to dress up any outfit from funky casual sportswear to an evening gown. Sequin clutch purses can transform a plain handbag into a glamorous and fun accessory.

A box labelled 'sin'

There were things you said to me, I'd kept locked up in 
a box, I labelled  'sin'. 
Things u said I kept for moments when I died a bit within.


There were things we did together, things I kept pictures of, 
these pictures grew more beautiful inside that sinful box.


There were ways you held me that made me weak,
I'd write about it while you were asleep. 
Inside that box is where these writings run deep.


From my head into my heart, there are secrets 
pitch dark, secrets I would not dare to keep from 
my sinful box.


There were fights we had, lies we said, 
I kept all of those bad things out of my box, 
but unsuccessfully out of my head.


I am not bitter, I am not insane
I would never take you back because
obsession is pain.


I have nothing to explain, 
I know you're not here.  You live inside this sinful
box, the one I hold so dear.
