A Love Letter to Women

“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for.”— Jo March, Little Women

A Love Letter to Women

This is a response to In Honor Of International Women's History Month, Thank An Amazing Woman In Your Life.

Dear Women,

Throughout our lifetime, we have faced countless obstacles and challenges, yet we continue to push forward with grace, strength, and determination. From fighting for our rights, fighting for our voices to be heard, as well as our place in society, we have shown resilience and tenacity in the face of adversity. We have broken many barriers, shattered glass ceilings, and paved the way for future generations.

But our contributions go far beyond just the battles we have fought. Women have been the backbone of society, nurturing and caring for those around us. We have been the ones to wipe away tears, provide comfort and support, offer a listening ear, and the glue that holds families and communities together.

I am in awe of the women who have come before us, blazing trails and setting the stage for future generations, and equally inspired by the women of today who continue to fight for important moralities like gender equality, reproductive rights, and an end to violence against women.

But our contributions do not stop there. We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and mentors. We are the start of our families, our communities, and our businesses. We have a unique perspective, a wealth of knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference.

It is because of us that our world is a better place. It is because of us that we have hope for a brighter future. And it is because of us that we will continue to strive for equality, justice, and peace.

As we celebrate Women's History Month, let us not only honor the women who have come before us, but also recognize the incredible strength and potential of women today. We are powerful, we are capable, and we are deserving of all the love and respect in the world.

Because, my dear sisters, you are loved. You are cherished. You are respected. And you are essential to the fabric of our universe.

Here's to you, women, and all that you represent.

With love and gratitude,

A fellow woman.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
