Time To Let Go

if i were young woman now i'm not surehow i'd cope, with all the things that you have; the opportunities, the technology. i'd like to think it could be a world of pleasure but i fear instead it wouldonly be a world of pressure. pressure to be the perfect mother, the perfect wife,the perfect friend. pressure to be successful a boss, a leader. if i had my time again i wouldn'tcreate a 'to do' list i'd created 'to don't do' list i'd give myself the time to indulgein the things that i now understand are the most important. what i wouldn't giveto extend those goodnight kisses instead of moaning about having to get up earlyin the morning. what i wouldn't give to have another

second the cuddling my babies beforethey became too big to hold. what i wouldn't give for 5 more minutes on the dancefloor while my legs were still strong enough to carry me. and this isn'tabout stopping a fight for equality, mine was a generation who burnt their bras. but we were never in danger of burning out. no, this is simply about you as a human being. there's the most important word, being. being lost in the moment being at peace with the world being kinder to myself

being kinder to others being able to let go and being proud todo so believe me, if i were a young woman now, i'd spend more time being not doing
