everyday, i ask myself, 'what are my chances of living for today?' the possibilities are inifinite &age is far from the question. everyday, i pray to God, 'please keep me alive until my kids are old enough to take care of themselves. thats all i ask for.'

the older i get, the more i begin to fear reality. the reality of living, the truth about death &the purpose for breathing. i have those few moments where i suddenly begin to think deeply into the meaning of living. past the peace i find in family, past the joy i surround myself with around friends & past the satisfaction i put in the little things i buy or own. when i take a glance beyond everything ive been blessed with, my heart unexpectedly feels two pounds heavier &i find myself lost on route sixty-six. im deserted on this straight road but when i look ahead of me at whats suppose to easy to describe, my mind views a labyrinth. i skip the plot and come up with my own conclusion that one hundred years from now, no one is going to be alive but what fears me is how each individual gets to the end and how near the end is.

What defines a Woman? im not talking in the literal sense of the physical components that a female has which secludes the being of a woman from a man. Im talking about the characteristics that makes a woman, a woman. What is it that differentiates a Woman from a Girl?

I came across this question today and have given it some quick thought. There are few to many that believe that once one becomes a mother or once one has chosen to take the vows of marraige you are transformed into a woman because with motherhood and marraige comes resonsibility but i choose to believe otherwise. From past decisions made, i have learned to grasp the meaning of the actual meaning, 'WOMAN.'

A woman is someone who knows how to present themselves even when life takes a drastic 360 turn. A woman is someone who knows how to respect their mind and their beliefs. A woman treats their body with sacredness. Your body becomes your temple. You protect it. You carry your responsiblites on your shoulders even if it feels like youre kneeling on grains of rice. A woman balances life and fun and knows how to juggle the heart and the mind real well. A woman stands their ground and speaks with confidence. thats what i believe.

Whether youre a mother or married, a single woman or widow, the question, What Defines a Woman? comes down to the fact that a Woman strives to be the conqueror of their own actions,
not a weakness. A Woman may fall down time and time again, but is never the downfall of their own decisions.
