all you women..independent... throw your hands up at me!

my conversation with J tonight
got me thinking about my
'independence'

I have 'grown' so much over the past 3 years

(or at least I think I've grown...)

From crying helplessly alone in my hotel room

during my first overseas business trip in Taipei,

to flying 20+ hours across the globe,

making all arrangements by myself,

a single female traveller

in unknown, untrodden lands.

I have always thought I learnt to be independent,

all by myself.

How else can you be independent if you're leaning on others?

It didn't occur to me that this independency
may have been rubbed off from the support of others

the ones I know who will always be there for me

so subconsciously I know
that's certainly something I don't have to worry about

and then I can focus,
and go be my own independent woman.

am I making sense?
