Happiness?

Be the change

A woman's life often feels like it’s designed by someone who loves multitasking to the extreme! From the moment she’s born👶, it’s like society hands her a to-do list that just keeps growing.As a girl, she's expected to be a model student👩‍🎓, the perfect daughter👪, and somehow manage to be polite, graceful, and ambitious all at once. Then comes adulthood, where she’s balancing a career, relationships, and possibly a family, all while trying to maintain some semblance of a social life and self-care.

Live and learn, I guess... mostly learn the hard way, with a side of existential dread and a newfound appreciation for the concept of 'yesterday'."

The size of the plate is often linked to the dowry paid in cattle for a marriage, with a larger plate signifying a 1greater value.
