I think I am somehow obsessed with the number 5. I just love it so much, may be because it is an uneven number that doesn’t complicate things, instead makes them easy. Any thing times 5 is easy to calculate and also to divide. Multiplication with it is also a piece of cake and so is addition. I just enjoy having this number. Anyway, coming to the point here I want to share 5 things that every girl must do or start doing if you aren’t doing it yet. Irrespective of your age, I mean if you are 35 years old you are no more a girl, but a beautiful and an elegant lady, your ethnicity, your marital status, you’re a mother or not or about to become one, you should do these things.

1. STOP telling yourself that you need a partner. Your entire life is yours and it should not be spent in looking for someone suitable, someone with whom you will be happy, someone who will complete you, someone who you can be with. With time you will find someone, but do not run or keep looking for it and thus be dependent on it before you even meet this partner.
2. DREAM and do everything possible to achieve them. If you fail, dream something new, but do not stop dreaming and do not – ever – stop working for them. Dream while you sleep, dream when you’re awake. Never let your dreams vanish. Unfulfilled dreams are as good of an experience as fulfilled ones. They make you, do not stop having them.
3. STOP underestimating your worth. You are not there to underestimate your talent or hide it. Do not choose to walk the pity road for yourself, there are many others ready to push you there. Tell yourself you’re the best version of you and believe in it.
4. BE a feminist, not a fake one. No male is below you, no male is above you. We are all equals. Feminism doesn’t mean we are superiors, it means equality. It means equal opportunities, equal respect, equal dignity, equal love and equal rights. There’s nothing better than believing in equality and hence being a strong feminist.
5. LOVE yourself. Accept your shortcomings, embrace your failures, love your curves, show your scars, acknowledge your problems and be the person you are born to be. Don’t try to impress anyone with your lipstick, wear it if it makes you feel good, remove it if it doesn’t.
