Why Do Women Ask, "Why Me?" More Often?

It's a common experience—almost everyone has asked themselves, "Why me?" at least once in life. But interestingly, we often save this question for tough times, rarely asking it during moments of joy. This tendency seems especially true for women. We are emotional beings, prone to overthinking, and often take on the role of a sacrificer. We invest deeply in the well-being of those around us, and our emotional bandwidth can stretch far and wide.

While this may not be as evident in our teenage years, it becomes more pronounced as we mature. As women, we begin to see our family as a galaxy, and we often believe we are the sun at the center, holding everything together. The entire family seems to revolve around us, and we embrace this responsibility wholeheartedly.

Often, as women, we voluntarily make decisions for the sake of our Parents, Husband or children. We choose paths that we believe are best for them, even if it means setting aside our own dreams and desires. Over time, though, we may find ourselves silently resenting these very decisions because, deep down, our heart yearns for something else. We lose sight of what we truly wanted to pursue and instead focus on fulfilling the needs of others. In this process, we gradually lose a part of ourselves, leading us to that familiar question: "Why me?"

Take a moment to reflect: Does overthinking and worrying actually change anything? Often, the answer is no. Yet, many women, driven by deep-seated love and responsibility, find themselves caught in a cycle of self-sacrifice. We invest so much of ourselves in caring for our family’s well-being and future, becoming the pillars or backbones that support their every move.

While this dedication is admirable and essential, it's important not to lose sight of ourselves in the process. Altruistic women who set aside their own dreams and desires for the sake of others must remember that their lives are equally valuable. You have a life to live and love—don't forget to nurture your own passions and well-being. Balancing selflessness with self-care is key to leading a fulfilling life.

When you begin to understand this balance, you'll start to design your own life in a way that aligns with your true desires and values. You'll find yourself tuning everything around you to create a harmonious environment where both your personal aspirations and your responsibilities to others can coexist and thrive. Embracing this understanding allows you to excel not just in fulfilling your duties, but in living a life that is truly your own, enriched by both self-care and selflessness.

Never dwell on what has happened; the past is behind us. Let go of it, for it's never too late to move forward. Instead, focus on what can enlighten your soul and start pursuing it with passion. Age may affect the body, but it doesn't dictate the mind’s potential. The universe will offer numerous opportunities to awaken your inner self and guide you towards your true path. Remember, it’s never too late to begin this journey. As Coco Chanel said, "The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud."

Wake up the old YOU and Enjoy to the Sky! 🌟
