Are you independent?
Or is it something that simply looks like you are independent but actually arenβt?
If you are independent,
How independent are you?
If you arenβt independent,
How dependent are you?

If you are independent,
Why are you celebrating βIndependence Dayβ?
If you arenβt independent,
Why are you even reading this?
I ask againβ¦.
How independent are you?

Always laughing, living, loving and thinking about food. I'm so deeply concerned about health, young people, food and psychology.
Reggae gets me on another level with the way I see life and I enjoy reading.
I can’t tell you how much I love reading your blog. Your posts are all so simple but so powerful. So much to think about.
ππ aaawwww….thank you.
Where did you find that photo? It’s so thought provoking, as are your words about independence.
ππ somewhere on Google! Thanks.
My dad raised me to be an independent woman. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t depend on my husband at times. It means I could do things if I need to.

My mom raised me to be independent and Iβm going to raise my daughter to be independent. This photo is triggering for so many reasons.
πππ Iβm sorry!
A simple poem that comes like a punch in the stomach. Gorgeous.
ππΏππΏ thanks.
I love how thought-provoking are! I like to think I’m independent but am now questioning myself reading this…
ππ Iβm glad to hear this!
This is definitely a thought-provoking poem but really having a good time reading this.
I was raised and taught to be an independent person at an early age, and I have the plan to do the same with kids.

I am very independent! And as a mom I have been managing everything that the family is doing. I have always been responsible for myself.

Your blogs are super short but have a profound message. I love it
ππ thanks.
I was raised to be independent. And life feels great and better when you are

This was simple and short but I love how it makes me contemplate. Great piece of writing here!

Independence is not an all or nothing pursuit. It is all about balance
ππ alright!
your poem made me feel a little bit guilty because i want to think that i am independent but truth, im not… not fully at least.
ππππΏππΏ
I would like to say I’m independent and would love to depend on myself most of the time.
ππππΏππΏ
I feel like I am quite independent. Definitely more independent than I have been in the past!
ππππΏππΏ
I don’t know that I understand. I’m independent but also need to rely on other’s sometimes.
ππππΏππΏ
I am 100% independent and happy I have been blessed to be so. Not rich, not by any means, but able to supply the needs of myself and my family, and that’s good enough for me.
