Women

So this past Sunday, my parents hu plig for my graduation and going away to China. I was in the kitchen peeling ginger and my 4th mom was cleaning chicken. My relative, who'd had been living with us for a few years finally got his own place and his wife and son were able to move to the U.S. However, he's been seeing another woman for quite some time now so his wife has been really sad.

In the kitchen she was talking about how there was no point for her to move here. She doesn't understand how a couple (her and her husband) who had loved each other so much can just suddenly fall apart. She said he hated her so much and she couldn't do anything about it.

My stepmom said for her to stop being so sad and to stop thinking about death. She should change her looks, dress prettier, fix her hair, look nice. My stepmom said, "I will never die for a guy. I'll outlive him and be happy." Her thoughts were so positive that I thought it was awesome to listen to such powerful thoughts.

And then last night I watched this movie on General Vang Pao and two ladies were singing kwv txhiaj. They couldn't finish singing because "we women have soft hearts". They said they were also crying because their husbands were away and were not there to give them tissue.

I don't know, I just thought it was interesting to see how women describe themselves... But like luanlegacy said, "If you're already feeling sorry for yourself, why should I?" You got to be the change you want to see.
