We are the daughters of the Feminist Movement, taught from an early age that nothing can stop us, that we can rise as high and achieve as much as any man and in some ways that’s true. We have taken great strides, stepping over traditional gender roles and going after and getting exactly what we want. But part of being powerful is knowing when to take the backseat and look at life from another perspective. Because the thing is, in a relationship, there is no CEO. It’s a delicate dance, a push and pull, a back and forth, an up and down. But we endure because at the end of the day we don’t want to go it alone. And when we find someone, a partner, we compromise, loving everything we can and putting blinders onto everything else. Because love isn’t perfect, but it is the really great imperfect love that keeps us evolving, happy. And in the end, isn’t that what life’s all about?
