Females of the 21st century are stills living a life led by others. Be it the career choice, life partner choice or lifestyle choice, in every aspect they have to either get the approval of others or has to keep in mind, what society will say?
Especially in Indian families a girl never lives her own life. There is always someone ready to guide her (whether she is need of the guidance or not) about what she should wear, how to speak, what career is best for her and even with whom she should spend her life? Although the guidance has it's relevance too but sometimes it restricts girls from developing their own personality. They start being dependent on others for taking decisions. As a result, their decision-making power never gets improved and the whole life they fear of taking strict decisions.
We have to understand that it's ok to make mistakes, It's ok to cry over something and in the process of learning if we lose something, that's too ok. The Point is here to make you enough strong be responsible for yourself. Stop trying to make yourself a mirror image of anyone else. Keep your identity and follow your heart (but never ignore your mind). In short, just be what you wanna be.
