i was just thinking what makes an women feel or look independent.
can we really have our freedom after being an daughter, wife, and mother.
do we actaully have an freedom to to be free from worries, sorrow.
can women be an financial controller in household. can she be an head household.
we sacrifice our freedom from our family. we give up everything just make our marraige life happy and peaceful.
i know deep inside that women has so mcuh freedom but we are afraid to be in spotlight.
so do you agree with my statement of freedom? letz discuss our freedom lives which is tackel btwn within ourselves.

I am a wife, mother, daughter and friend and I still consider myself to be somewhat independent, at least in my thinking and opinions. I will never be free from worries or sorrows, but I don't let that stop me from being an independent thinker. Freedom begins in the mind anyway. If you believe that you are a prisoner of your life, then surely you will be one. If you believe you have the freedom of choice, then you will have that as well. I haven't made any sacrifices that have changed the way I think and my responsibilities overall have enhanced my life to they were worth making.

I think that being an independent woman is what you make of it, really. Like being able to support yourself without the help of a male, is how I look at it. For a father to support his children is one thing, but for a woman to do it all on her own, even without that, she has independence and freedom to make the choices she needs to make for herself. There are many ways to look at it, and it all depends on your situation. To be on my own, and do it by myself is the greatest freedom and independence I've ever known. Yeah, I've had a little help along the way, but who doesn't need help sometimes? I feel it, there fore I am it :)

If you are a married woman living in a traditional domestic situation you can still be independent. Maybe you live that way because you WANT to, not because you think you have no other option but to do so. As long as YOU are making your own chioces, you are independent!!

This is just my personal perception on being independent.
An independent woman is the one who could decide by her own. The one who can make a difference in her career. She is the one who does't live in a shadow of man. A woman you can live by herself. And the one who could reach success by her own perseverance without asking much from other person.

Being independent is thinking for yourself. It's making your own decisions about your life. Choosing to stay at home or to work.
I chose to be a sahm. When I am ready to go back to work then it will be my decision. Hopefully I will make money than my hubby at that time. LOL Thats how I feel.

women cannot be free from worries...it's worries and sorrow that makes us stronger and better. we can be the head of the household if we want to. an independent woman is a person who has her own decisions and views in life, not relying too much on other people for doing some things and for deciding on things.
