I was not born to fulfil some man's fantasy of what the ideal woman should be.
I was not born to help him along to his destiny while mine languishes as I wait for him to glance at me.
I was not born to cook, to clean or wash the dishes.
I was not born to look, to be admired, or to grant him wishes.
I was not born to complete a man.
God made me whole.
I was not born to be thought for by a man.
God gave me a soul.
I was born to reach the destiny that God has set for me.
I was born to be the woman that God created me to be.
Snap Snap Snap :) That was very nice.
