Woman to Woman: There are harsh truths that women often realise too late. There will be no diploma for impeccable order in the kitchen. There will be no monument to the years, silently carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

There will be no special reward for everyone else to be comfortable and good ~ except yourself.

You don’t have to be a perfect mom or wife who never tires. An employee who is completely burned out, but continues to smile.

To be a friend who listens to other people’s problems while barely holding on to her own sanity. This romanticized character of a ‘strong woman’ looks beautiful only from the outside.

In close-up, this is usually a woman who has not slept deeply and properly for months and who has not allowed herself to buy anything for a long time, just because she has stopped wanting something.

And then, one day, your body will say, ‘Enough!’ So please remove the emergency brake before it happens.

Don’t wait until you can get out of bed. Don’t expect everything in you to turn to dust. Don’t wait until you look in the mirror and don’t recognise the woman when you look back.

Check it out today.

Leave the dishes in the sink. Believe me, they are not going anywhere. Don’t worry about underwear that isn’t perfectly folded.

That’s why the world doesn’t stop spinning. Go out and have a coffee in the café. Buy yourself flowers, even if there is no special reason.

Wear the dress you saved for a special occasion. The special case is that you’re still here. Postpone work for a few hours, without explaining it to anyone, and just sleep.

Sleep long and sweetly, without guilt.

Because your children will grow up and build their own lives. Partners come and go. Friends will change.

The job vacancy to replace you will be advertised even before your obituary is written.

In the morning, the dust will settle again, no matter how much you sweep it today. If you’ve spent years filling love into other people’s cups, it’s finally time to pour some of that love into yours.

You’re a woman, not a robot

You’re not a programmed function. You are not someone’s endless system of emotional support without the right to exhaust yourself.

You are a living, sensitive and breathing person.

And you deserve to receive as much as you give to others. You deserve a break. You deserve to be understood. You deserve happiness. You deserve a chance to get yourself back.
