I am lucky enough to live in a country where colour, gender, sexual preference does not hinder individuals... to me that is independence.jozenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844510910112264140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107310654054360666.post-2579138642131080382011-09-02T12:53:30.223-04:002011-09-02T12:53:30.223-04:00I think independence is a state of mind more than ...I think independence is a state of mind more than a state of living.Susan R.

I say I used to be SUPER independent...my car broke down, clogged sink, etc...I fixed it or contacted who I needed to get it fixed - you know that sort of thing. But now I am engaged and I live with my fiance...everything is group effort or him wanting to take care of me...his feelings actually seem to get hurt if I don't ask him for help - so I think you can move from Miss Independent to Miss Relationship and asking for help but it takes a bit of time to adjust. Sometimes I think ... I CAN DO IT!!!!! But then I stop and think...he wants to help because he loves me. I now use my Miss Independent life to help my friend who is now out on her own for the first time. I'm passing it on to her so at least someone can use it...LOL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107310654054360666.post-33897029414860265712011-09-02T09:51:38.237-04:002011-09-02T09:51:38.237-04:00an independent woman knows what she wants and goes...an independent woman knows what she wants and goes for it. She can be single, doing what she wants, or she can be in a positive loving relationship with someone who understands she needs to do her own things, and has her own dreams and goals. Yes, you have to consider someone else in decisions if you're in a relationship, but if one day that abruptly ended - an independent woman would have a job, friends, and a life to keep going even though one piece has changed.KMV https://www.blogger.com/profile/11058041705210787187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107310654054360666.post-37141055979593794472011-09-02T09:06:26.169-04:002011-09-02T09:06:26.169-04:00I feel that a modern independent woman is someone ...I feel that a modern independent woman is someone who can stand on her own two feet regardless of who is in her life (be it spouse, parents, etc.). :)Cafe Fashionistahttp://cafefashionista.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107310654054360666.post-62907836126251325332011-09-02T05:36:34.557-04:002011-09-02T05:36:34.557-04:00I think a modern independent woman is the woman th...I think a modern independent woman is the woman that has her own place to live, buys her food and other stuff, has her own job (that she's at least a little bit proud of aka a real job), but most important: she doesn't let her feelings always run in the way of her dreams/decisions/career etc. Because we all know that when (bad)feelings are involved, a woman can barely handle the rest of things in her life. Ex. when her bf breaks up with her. I donno if I get my self understood here... <br />What I think I'm trying to say is that a woman can be considered independent when she has a certain control over her emotions, a certain balance of instinct and reason.<br /><br />Lots of love,<br />Sarah.Sunshine Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08285744210679822702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107310654054360666.post-59819164319466542842011-09-02T02:18:21.467-04:002011-09-02T02:18:21.467-04:00Great question!

But the things she can outweighs the things she can't. And the things she can do on her own increases as time goes on.Tiffany Kadanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887874943048853535noreply@blogger.com
