I am a 23 years old girl. I carry this delightful dream of creating a lovely family after getting married to my beloved lover one day. In that dream, I visualize about having a little daughter as admirable as her father. Wouldn’t it be lovely if the reality is as good as what I imagine? But the reality is not as smooth as our daydreams. However, despite the tens of thousands of hurdles in life, the following are the list of things I wouldn’t want my future daughter to go through.
- Heartbreak from a man who did her wrong or who don’t understand depth and real beauty.
- Betrayal from a friend who was nothing but an enemy.
- Despair from being told she “can’t” too many times.
- Belittlement from a society that only judges on outward appearances.
- Insecurity from the women around her.
- Inadequacy from images glamorized by the media.
- Loss of faith in a world that continues to disappoint.
- Fear of the unknown.
- Envy of women who aren’t worth envying.
- Embarrassment of her flaws.
- Disappointment from those who are supposed to protect her.
- Shame of her body.
- Discouragement from those who are supposed to believe in her.
- Bullying from kids who were raised with no moral centers.
- Gender inequality in her newfound job.
- Lost moments from worrying about the future.
- Guilt for things she cannot change.
- Contempt for things unworthy of anger.
- Self doubt in her limitless abilities.
- Anxiety over the daily stresses of life.
- Grief for things that aren’t worth tears.
- Torment over the suffering of others.
- Obsession with the materialistic and the mundane.
- Preoccupation with people who don’t care.
- Finding her validation in another person.
- Feeling like she isn’t worthy of all she truly deserves in life.
