This Women’s Day, I asked myself a quiet question…
Am I a success?
Not the kind the world measures.
Not the kind that comes with applause, comfort, or ease.
I am a woman still carrying wounds from relationships that ended long ago… yet their echoes sometimes return to test my strength.
A woman whose hard-earned money is still held back.
A woman whose own property stands locked in hesitation and control.
And yet… I wake up.
I stand up.
I refuse to be broken.
Maybe success is not the absence of struggle.
Maybe success is still choosing to exist with dignity when life tries to reduce you to less.
So today, I honour the woman I am becoming —
not defeated, not silent, not erased.
I may not have everything I deserve yet…
but I still have something powerful:
Dear Me.... Have will to survive. Have courage to stand. Have faith in ALLAH that justice and peace will be served soon In Sha Allah.....
HASBUN ALLAHU WA NI'AMAL WAQEEL.....
NASRUN MINALLAHI FAT'HAN KAREEB....
And perhaps…
that itself is a quiet, powerful kind of success.
Happy Women’s Day to every woman who is not just living —
but bravely existing. 🌸
