Awakening of Ann

I feel like some of us are going back to a place we once longed to escape

Once upon a time we were little slaves of the home & our husbands

Handcuffed to their needs & of our children without any sense of identity outside of that

Now that we have the opportunity to pursue our passions, build a career for ourselves…

It seems like so many women do not want to work & would rather find a wealthy man to come rescue them

I am alarmed at how many of us are cornering ourselves into very vulnerable situations

I myself have once had all my bills paid, trips paid, school paid for, shopping sprees, a luxury apartment, the shoes & the purses

But once that man felt like he had my heart

He turned into the most abusive monster

I learned to never depend on a man like that ever again

And all the luxuries in the world are not enough to fulfill or mend your soul

Listen to all the stories of older women who simply committed themselves to their husband and children, forfeiting their career and/or passion

And being left for someone else & having to start their lives all over again with no work experience for the last decade

No one is coming to save you, only you can save yourself
