I read somewhere recently that women are the main culprits at bringing down another woman. Why do we do this while we’re each on our own empowerment journey?

I see the truth in that first statement as it’s something that’s happening all around me.

This is me trying to understand why this happens so often by looking at it from the person who’s doing the tearing down.

There’s so many women out there who are struggling with insecurity. For themselves or for someone they love – a friend, a child, a partner, a parent. When I try to think of the why’s of it, I feel it comes a lot from this sense of insecurity that we have.

A woman who is secure about who she is does not feel the need to pull someone down to where she lies, instead she would choose to pull someone up to where she stands, with her head held high.

But from where I look at it, each of us individually are blessed with certain specificities that cannot be compared. Everything we do or say, the way we act are unique to our person. Why try to make a comparison when it cannot be? Why not just appreciate the differences and build each other up?

I’m not saying we pull out the term ‘gossip’ from our vocabulary and throw it in the sea. Healthy gossip still exists. The ones we need to survive the daily monotony of life. What’s a woman’s life without a little drama, yeah? I know mine would be terribly boring. But why can’t we keep it on a healthy and safe level where we don’t destroy or damage another’s self worth?

Everyone’s struggling.

No one has a clear clean path that just goes straight without the fallen leaves and stones and dirt. If your path is that clean, trust me you’re either dead or dreaming and I’m not sure you should be reading this right now – maybe you need to be walking toward a light of some kind? I made a funny..lol.

At the end of the day, this is what I believe. You see someone trying to stand, you offer her a hand – him, her, whoever. And that’s what makes life worth living. And that’s how it all makes sense somehow. Else, why are we here if not to make life a little easier for someone else?

If it isn’t to help someone carry their cross, why be blessed with the strength to carry that weight, right?
