who am i again?

If I socialize I’m a bitch

If I don’t I am an introvert

If I read I’m a bookworm

If I don’t I’m stupid

If I don’t have a boyfriend I’m too ugly

If I do I’m a slut

If I ask questions I’m a blonde

If I don’t I’m arrogant

If I look at you with a straight face I have attitude (issues)

If I smile at you I’m desperate

If I hang with the family I have no life

If with friends I lack ‘sanskaars’

If I dress modern I am loose

If traditional I’m a ‘ behenjee’

If I speak I have no respect

If I don’t I am a pushover

Why is it that I am still trying to figure out who I am and who I want to be and every1 else seems to know exactly who it is that I am

Young women such as I, go through at least half these situations every single day, and let me be the first to reveal this that it’s not easy. Well, yes life is not, but these can be avoided and oh! so easily.

The word equality is tossed around a lot these days but I seldom see it. In order to maintain balance in the universe we (women) don’t get on every1’s case who judges us this way and sometimes even learn to live with the tags. I just feel the need to let any1 who happens to stumble upon this , know that there is such a thing as giving some1 a break. So try it…
