                               My Dear women! Whosoever said " Diamonds are a girls girlfriend" was lying to you, they clearly never had an army of girlfriends that physically stop you from drunk texting your ex on Saturday, may be they didn't know, that friendships are stronger and last longer then the 💎. The thing is I am quite tired of the conversation around engagement rings. You know when women say they're engaged, and it's met with "OMG, show me the ring?" Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but that's also patriarchy.🙅 It's extremely unfair to men in a society where we put that kind of pressure on them to prove their worth. The stereotype - 3 month salary on engagement ring in old fashioned. It's usually assumed that bigger the stone, the more status the man you're marrying has and while rich families may not feel the brunt of that tradition - it's quite a ridiculous requirement for a men to live upto....

I once dated a man who told me I lived in my own little bubble, where everything was a movie and things happened the way I wanted them to. He yelled in a fight "  you're life is not some fucking book, Ayushi" - what?????????....... His biggest problem with me usually was that I had dreams...... " Unrealistic dreams" according to him. He seemed so bothered by this bubble of mine. He wasn't the first man to have raised this you know, and he wasn't the last either. Most men made it a point to tell me I lived in a bubble. Infact it's not just men, even women would tell the same. But I routinely heard from the man I dated. Do you wonder why they thought I lived in a bubble? What was it that made my expectations in life...so unrealistic? The unrealistic notion in my head: " that I had a voice" Written by :- Ayushi sharma
