let's talk about independent women...

the majority of the women in the western part of the world, talk about independence and freedom. It might have been over many hundreds years of revolutions in the West and has taught them to say so, to do so and to be so.

In my case, i heard of this word, " Independence" from my present husband last 10 years ago. In the foot of Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar, we were sitting there and
he told me " how important it is to be an independent woman"...
I repeated "independent woman" and the word echoed in my entire body, from head to toes.
After having an affair for 5 years with him, we cohabited in Vienna, it was the beginning of 2006and very cold winter.
Since then i never heard the story of " independent woman" anymore.
I was depending on him from head to toes.
Throughout the years we been together, the word still echos everyday " independent woman". What has happened to her"?

My husband, seems forgotten this independent woman. he didn't give me way to become an independent any more.
The legend of independent woman remains in my head and memory.
I think of the pioneer of the independent women everyday of my life.
I struggle hard to become an independent myself.
Still, i m not free and i am not succeeding...
