No, this is not another movie review. Just how my day ended. I had a pretty nasty cold for the last few days, the ones you don't want to leave the bed. That much time in bed made me think, When did all the fun stopped? I always related cold to skipping school, making it look worse to convince mom to keep you home, having someone bring you food and tea, having attention maybe, I don't know... Well is not like that anymore for the first time in my life I felt really crappy and had no one there for me. I guess people around me are really busy with their lives but they did ask if I was ok, so I thank them for that. Again this is not my point,I am not writing to complain about stuff.

What I want to write about is, how much should we rely on people? How much should we expect from them? and from who? Of course there is no right answer for that but the best answer is: Rely 100%, Expect 100%, YOU.

As women we've been taught if not only from our mothers but as for society to seek others to make us feel better, to help us around the house, to change a tire. Are you going to be that woman on driveway waiting for someone to change your tires? I say learn how to do it yourself, is not that hard, really, unless you really really don't have the physical strength to do so, maybe the sexy technician can give you a hand. I'm not saying to do everything alone, I'm saying not to rely on other people to do so, and not expect it as well. So try it yourself, most of the times you can do it, if you can't then ask for help (that's what we are best at).

So going back to my cold, I spent a day and a half relying on people to do stuff for me. I stood up, dizzy, walk to the groceries and the pharmacy, got what I needed to make myself better. Cooked for myself, then since I was bored for staying home I decided to go to the movies with ME! First time I did it and it was much better than I expected! I was still a bit sick, but I felt great and I had so much fun! Better than staying in bed!

Sometimes we don't recognize how great we are as a person, but by looking deep inside, loving, and being independent makes us a better person, more capable of self love and more capable of loving those around us.
cheers!
