Every Woman

Author Unknown

Should Have
...a feeling of control over her destiny

...one old love she can imagine going back to
...and one who reminds her how far she has come

...one friend who always makes her laugh
...and one who lets her cry


Should Know
...how to fall in love without losing herself

...how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship

...when to try harder and when to walk away

...how to have a good time at a party she'd never choose to attend

...how to ask for what she wants in a way that makes it most likely she'll get it

...that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her
parents

...that her childhood may not have been perfect but it is over

...what she would and wouldn't do for love

...how to live alone even if she doesn't like it

...whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally

...where to go, be it to her best friend's kitchen table or a charming inn in the woods
when her soul needs soothing

...what she can and can't accomplish in a day, a month, and a year
