Are you independent?
Or is it something that simply looks like you are independent but actually aren’t?
If you are independent,
How independent are you?
If you aren’t independent,
How dependent are you?

If you are independent,
Why are you celebrating “Independence Day”?
If you aren’t independent,
Why are you even reading this?
I ask again….
How independent are you?

Always laughing, living, loving and thinking about food. I'm so deeply concerned about health, young people, food and psychology.
Reggae gets me on another level with the way I see life and I enjoy reading.
I can’t tell you how much I love reading your blog. Your posts are all so simple but so powerful. So much to think about.

Where did you find that photo? It’s so thought provoking, as are your words about independence.
😂😂 somewhere on Google! Thanks.
My dad raised me to be an independent woman. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t depend on my husband at times. It means I could do things if I need to.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
My mom raised me to be independent and I’m going to raise my daughter to be independent. This photo is triggering for so many reasons.

I was raised and taught to be an independent person at an early age, and I have the plan to do the same with kids.

I am very independent! And as a mom I have been managing everything that the family is doing. I have always been responsible for myself.

I don’t know that I understand. I’m independent but also need to rely on other’s sometimes.

I am 100% independent and happy I have been blessed to be so. Not rich, not by any means, but able to supply the needs of myself and my family, and that’s good enough for me.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
