An Appreciation: 'The Aftertaste of Independence'

[This is an appreciation post] Baru pas bace 1 article in Vmag dgn tajuk di atas, n mendapati ia adalah sgt sgt bes n inspiring. Article starts dgn ayat dlm cite EverAfter "You can have anything that u can carry out of here", kata para lanun, in which pastu Danielle (Drew B) angkat the prince dan blah with dignity. Clair Sin here cube jelaskan mengenai wanita moden.. dan independence.

Penulis then cite tentang diri die n relation dgn feminism, emancipation, independence etc. Die used to be terlalu independent sampai tamau kasi bf die buat pepepon utk die n left the guy feeling unwanted. Apa important bg die adalah to appear strong. She believes 'the best man for the job is a woman'. Bla Bla Bla one day she got dumped n her ex tu is now married to her fren yg helpless, needy, with IQ lebeh sikit je dr ostritch (die kata. harsh tak? haha) Die sgt pelik sbb the girl represents sume mende yg die resent in a woman, thus, camne her ex bole jatuh cinte pd 2 wanita yg terlalu lain. Die jwb sendiri ---> sgt cliche i.e. Love just isn't enough. Dan kemudian membawa kpd soalan lain: Adakah independence crucial dlm sesebuah r'ship? The answer to thisla yg sgt sgtla inspiring.

Jwpn: Rujuk kisah EverAfter. Dan Danielle. Instead of amik rete lanun tu, Danielle chose to pick up her prince. Die demonstrates yg love outweights material gain. What's so great about Danielle ialah the balance that she had between being hopelessly romantic n seorang modern woman. She'd do anything for the prince (e.g pakai that outfit to the ball) tapi die jugak bole fights for the independence of her own thoughts dan apa yg die rase betol. Die tak benarkan sesape put her down/ destroy her beliefs, tapi bile masenye tibe, she is willing to put away her pride to win the love of her life.

Now pahamla kan kenapa Am sgt sgt inspired by this article? Sgt sgt setuju dgn Clair Sin (tabik tabik tabik! great piece!) Konklusi: Mesti ada balance macam Danielle. You can always be both romantic and strong at the same time. Like Nike says: "To be truly feminine, you have to be truly strong" : )
