Amoungst my friends there are many. But inside each is a sensitive soul yearning to be loved and supported by a strong independent man.

Which do seem hard to come by. This could be a generational thing or an age thing. (I’m hoping for the latter). It appears that strong independent women can be intimidating, but this is only to weak men. Have hope ladies, as strong men are drawn to this type of woman and these are the men we need at our side as we challenge life.

To let your guard down and let somebody in has taken its toll on many. So for some, the guard of self preservation stays up. For some, it comes down too often and the fatigue from inviting the wrong attention turns the taste to bitter.

I have heard much questioning on how and why me, why now. Don’t waiver on what you deserve. I am not talking princess status. I’m talking being loved, being trusted, being supported, being encouraged, being let in so you can do the same. It takes a lot of courage to open up to someone.

The mantra I follow to avoid becoming one of the hardened are such. You will know when it feels right. Your better off on your own rather than sacrificing yourself to the wrong person. If you follow your passions, you will meet like minded people. Everything happens when it’s meant to.

What are your little reminders that it’s okay?

Hopefully Mr Right comes along, confident enough in himself to convince the strong independent woman, that he knows what he wants and is confident in himself to share his hopes and dreams and wants to share your hopes and dreams with you.

Living in unison with someone else is never going to be icecream and sprinkles. There will be hiccup after speed bump after gapping sink hole. You need the right kind of life partner for this. Maybe we know these people already and maybe we don’t. But from what I have seen it is beautiful when these two individuals find each other. It gives me great hope to witness this love.

To my fellow strong independent women, whether you have found your Mr Right or you have not yet.

You are doing it right. Trust yourself. Even when your waver and slip this is all part of the circus called life. We arn’t perfect, we arn’t invincible. That’s not realistic. I love your tanasity. I learn from you. I hope you find what your looking for in life.

“I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.”

– Eleanor Roosevelt

The best protection any woman can have… Is courage.

– Elizabeth Cady Stanton

“Most people who meet my wife quickly conclude that she is remarkable. They are right about this. She is smart, funny and thoroughly charming. Often, after hearing her speak at some function or working with her on a project, people will approach me and say something to the effect of, you know, I think the world of you, Barack, but your wife, wow!”

– Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope

*I have written this for the woman and man relationships point of view but it applies to all weak and strong beings, man or woman.
