Pondering

Joffe Constantin, 1945

About love and relationships. Especially about the place that these take in our lives. I feel more and more grounded in my expectations. And that's not a bad thing. I think that women need to get off their high horses and realize that there is no fairytale. All there is is life, and imperfect situations. No one is ever going to meet completely your expectations. But that doesn't mean that you should necessarily lower your standards to meet theirs. I think respecting ourselves is something we too oft forget. I had a conservation with a male coworker this week, who in these circumstances, can only be referred to as Yoda. We were talking about the male-female dynamics when he said something absolutely mind-blowing:"You know what's the problem with women, Aude? It's that when they meet a man, they put their whole life on hold for him. And their immediate goal becomes to get serious and start a family. But what about THEM? They should never forget that they should grow too, on a personal level. Otherwise, that's a major repellent." Think about it. xox
