8 Martie

"Tu eşti ca o albină/ Eşti ca o muzică lină,/ Eşti floarea dimineţii,/ Eşti primăvara vieţii,/ Mamă..." prin clasa a patra eram când scriam chestia asta... ţin minte că i-am scris-o mamei pe o felicitare de 8 martie şi i-a plăcut atât de mult, că după aia i-am tot repetat-o an dupa an... probabil că se plictisise şi ea, dar era un fel de ritual de 8 martie.

"You're like a bee/ Like a soft music,/ You're the flower of the morning,/ You're the spring of life,/ Mother..." I was in the 4th grade when I wrote that... I remember putting it in a card for my mother, on the 8th of March, and she liked it so much that I used to write the same thing year after year... she was probably bored of it, but it was kind of a Women's Day ritual.

My mother used to say to me: never get married if you are not in love. Don't get married with the first guy you have sex with, you might end up regretting it. Don't accept it when a man disappoints you, you'll get used to it and end up old, bitter and sad. If a guy tries to change you in any way, don't let him, because if you change, he will leave you, for you will not be the same woman he fell in love with in the first place.

Have your own career, so that you don't depend on a man. Make him say "I love you", not every day, but as often as you need to feel good about yourself. Never accept a man who doesn't make you feel you are the most special woman in the world. Don't live in the same house with his parents. Don't marry a man who doesn't respect his mother.

Remember always to do things for your own pleasure, spend time with YOUR friends, have your own opinions and don't borrow his, surround yourself with feminine things, don't let him make fun about you watching romantic movies, never accept him getting drunk in your presence. Be sweet, tender, feminine. Wear make-up and beautiful clothes not for him, but for you. Wake up in the morning with a smile on your face.

If he cheats, leave him. If he lies, leave him. If he disappoints you constantly, leave him. If he hits you only once, leave him. If the sex sucks, leave him. And if you have children, remember they are more important then any man.

Happy Women's Day! Remember that we are ALL beautiful and we have the power to change the world. We can do anything we want, no matter what men say. We should ask for their respect, because they wouldn't be on this Earth without us.
