This morning during my power walk, I shed a few tears for some my girlfriends. Coldplay’s melancholic The Scientist resonated in my ears, not helping matters at all.
They are such great girls; smart, passionate, kind, ambitious, people with a mind and sensibility of their own.
But the constant badgering about the M word (you know what it is) by mom and dads, is beginning to take its toll on their self-esteem and peace of mind. When the moms and dads book their journeys to Mumbai, their fortress of happiness and self-worth is gradually eroded, and the crevices get quickly filled up with intense feelings of hate.
I once told a friend, there are those who love you unconditionally. And then there are those whose love, comes with a disclaimer.
I just want to say: Girlfriends, you are loved and admired, deeply.
