One is not born a Woman, one is born a being of feminine gender. One becomes a Woman.
Being a Woman entails an evolutionary process that acts within each female being and which manifests itself on the outside, through choices and behaviours that lead to a state of Love, not always valued, not always noticed and not always remembered.
We become, in fact, Women.
The woman who is always forgotten is the one who suffers the most. The one invisible, because she is busy surviving; the one silent, because she spends her time protecting those she loves; the one that exists, but has forgotten that living is much more than existing. The one that loves, because she never thinks about dying. The Woman who knows how to be a woman is the one who fights to continue living.
Congratulations to the chosen women, the noticed, the valued. And Courage for all those who have been forgotten.
YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!
