It's so unpleasant and ironic to observe how people demean other's life struggles. When I am surrounded by career-oriented women, I hear a lot about their lonely lives, how demanding and hard it is, and comparing how easy it is for women at home.
When I am surrounded by women who are mostly house makers, I hear the opposite... how hard it is to manage a family, and kids at "the right time", and how easy (selfish) it is for women who don't have those responsibilities yet.
I could never understand this rivalry between the two sides of the same coin. Why can't people respect each other's struggles and choices they made in the best possible ways they thought. It's just what we choose to do. I am sorry if one would say It's not only about choices.. but circumstances. If someone fought and lead a life which she wanted but others disapproved of, it was her choice. Likewise, If someone surrendered to the circumstances and went on a given path, it's again her choice not to fight enough. Comparison is the silliest lens to see different lives. But respect and embracing the uniqueness of each other's journeys will lead us to a beautiful together. 💞
