eing solo means not hiding behind
anyone anymore. There are no excuses left not to do what I want to do.
I have only myself to answer to. If I don't have time for my friends,
it is not because someone else is keeping me busy. It is because I am
choosing to work to the exclusion of time for others. If Im not
earning enough it has to do, to some extent, with the amount of time and
effort I am putting into it. This is a very touchy point, for women, however.
Some of my earning power is certainly dictated by society and the men
who run it.” |
