Miss Independent
That song was a disease that spread amongst preteen girls who thought they were independent yet lived under allowance money. Throughout the years, I’ve struggled with that term because that’s who I wanted to be, miss independent working for her thrown. Neva needing a [wo]man cause she got her own - type of ambition. Financially, I still depend on my mother and I am not afraid to admit that. But a woman who can pay her own bills and stays on her own grind, but cannot handle standing on her own two feet is just a working woman. Girl, the cash does not substitute for your inability to invest in solitude. I want to be a strong woman, independently hustlin’ my daily struggles, handlin’ my own emotional baggage and mental breakdowns. And one day, I’ll be on my grind makin’ what I need to provide for the lifestyle that I want. That kind of woman.
