So I'm going to do what frum male Jews do, and become a lawyer.

And like you said, men usually experience it much more. But, really...you never know who where life will take you. Nurse that passion. Maybe you'll use your business degree to OPEN UP a comic book store! How awesome would that be?

What you said about "it being more about them, than me" is true and def something for me to bear in mind :)<br /><br />Frum Geek: Yes. I agree. Men have that added pressure. I honestly don't know what I would do as a career if I were a man. I suck (with a capital S) at math and science. Good luck in your endeavors :)The Becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202901128833946034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001108969574385534.post-1322024294049280192013-02-20T07:55:21.491-08:002013-02-20T07:55:21.491-08:00At least you ladies have a choice.

I just remind myself that when someone is saying something hurtful, it's more about them than it is about me.

It'...Yes, writers have an innate NEED to write. It's like an itch that you must scratch or else...I'm glad you started your blog Princess Lea. It's definitely one of my favorites. It's always refreshing to hear a unique Jewish female voice. Being a full-time Mommy is a blessing indeed. As long as people know that they have a CHOICE and that they're not bound to fulfill certain expectations. I admire your nonchalance towards people's mean comments. I'm still working on that...you know, the whole "not caring" thing. It saves one a lot of uneccessary hurt. And yes, with G-d's help, let's inspire our future children in the best way possible!The Becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202901128833946034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001108969574385534.post-1860647067595555212013-02-19T11:43:39.585-08:002013-02-19T11:43:39.585-08:00Oh my, I think we understand each other perfectly....Oh my, I think we understand each other perfectly. <br /><br />I love to write, nay, I NEED to write. After college I no longer had an outlet, and I didn't realize how much I missed it until I decided to launch my blog. I was worried I would run out of things to write about, and so far, praise be, that has not been an issue. <br /><br />My dream is to be a full-time Mommy, but I do not believe that means that I won't have an identity or other passionate endeavors. I have gotten the snarky remarks about my lack of career, but I do not feel a need to explain myself. <br /><br />My mother was a full-time mommy, but she never sublimated her personality or drive beneath that role. And that is the same model I hope to display for my own brood, please God. Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.com
