What is this "soft life" women are seeking? 🧐

article image placeholderUploaded by @MsColes77
And so I think that what most black women are getting at is that I want to be in a place financially where I don't have that level of stress, to get up every day and go work all these hours and these jobs and pay all these bills. And I want to be able to live a life of ease. So can we do that as single women, or are we required to marry to have a life of ease? Well, let's be realistic

Maybe the soft life is just the rebellious kid coming out and saying, you know, enough is enough. That could be a reason, although I'm not entirely sure. We'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out. Yeah

In the words of Kevin Samuels—these ladies are delusional and all about hyper-individualism

But it's not things that make you soft or hard. It's not lack of things that make you hard. It's not the acquiring of things that make you soft. Everyone talks about the proverbial grandmothers. Well, if your grandmother didn't have much, but yet she took care of the family. We loved being snuggled up next to her. She told stories or we snapped beans with her. She didn't have spa days, but yet she still had a kind, loving heart

It's the weekends, every other weekend, every other holiday. But God, the company that I work for, created this position right around the time that I was really praying, really praying for it. And as it is, I don't really have to work that much. I really start my day from home, and I may have to go out and see two people. Maybe sometimes I see no one, and I'm still getting paid, and I have my weekends and my holidays off

Hi, Auntie L. I just wanted to reply to you because I definitely understand where you're coming from with the job thing. I did the same thing when I was applying for jobs over the past year or so, I only applied for those that were hybrid or fully remote because I was like, I need some days at home. I wanted it, I deserve it, and I don't want to get on the road five days a week

They make you believe that they just lucked into it. They just walked into it, and they just woke up one day with this great, brilliant idea, and then boom, they just became a millionaire suddenly. And it's like, okay, tell us about your journey to that place. Tell us about all the ups and downs and stuff. Because even Jeff Bezos has a journey from the time he started Amazon in his basement to being worth several hundred trillion dollars today

Since you almost had me running around this house. I said, if she don't keep preaching oh, my gosh. You said it. A lot of women are delusional, and that's the dangerous part of being an emotional being, is that your feelings are all over the map. 1 minute, you're worshipping the hustle and the grind. The next minute, you want a soft life. 1 minute, you feel like you're an independent woman. You can do everything by yourself

Hey, SIS. Thank you so much for your response. I agree, I have a soft life, probably compared to others. I don't have children, so my home is mine. My space is mine. I work from home. I've been working from home off and on for about 13 years, but full time since 2020. And I'm just now coming home from the gym, and I'm getting ready to go back to work and finish up for the day

Hi, Tanya. Hope all is well. I have a question. I was invited to this, well, by someone who has a username spelled Kavya 13 and it has a picture that doesn't look like you. I guess it's so far back, it's really hard to tell it, but it doesn't look like the picture that you use with your username. And this is not the first or second or maybe even a third time. This happened many times before, not just with you
