I feel like I am a little late on posting my first blog, but I tend to procrastinate. Something to know is I am a visual person. I like images. I found one today that I think suits me quite well. It is dry and sarcastic.
The purpose of this image for me is that I am constantly baffled by the amount of women I know and meet, my age, that feel the obligation to drop all that they have worked so hard to accomplish to fit into their significant others' life. My boyfriend and I struggle with this. He respects me very much and it is only human nature for him to want me to stay in Greensboro after I graduate. Unfortunately for him, I have goals I want to accomplish and where I want to accomplish them is somewhere other than Greesnboro. He knows this and he accepts it. Why do some women (even men) feel that they should mold their lives to fit others? Maybe I'm selfish...I don't think so.
Great observation and personal application. I don't think you're being selfish either! That language sadly gets used alot when women want to diverge from antiquated roles.
