Know Your Worth

She said to me one day, I think she will have a hard time finding a man.

Why? I asked.

Because she is more ‘traditional’, if you know what I mean.
She doesn’t even want to sit on his lap.
Men these days, she says.
She will have a hard time finding a man who will want that, a man who will wait for her to sit on his lap when she is ready.

What about her? Does it not matter what she wants?
Does her self-worth depend on sitting on a man’s lap?
Why can’t she love herself enough to wait to find a man who doesn’t care if she sits on his lap or not?

Why does sitting on his lap even matter?

I guess it does matter because one day she said to me, I think she will have a hard time finding a man…
