The independent woman. She is loved, she is feared, she is misunderstood. She can hook up the 5th wheel, saddle and load her horse, and take off to move some cows. Yes, she has a sense of direction. Yes, she can drive a truck and not wreck it. She is not small minded. She is not an airhead. She has more common sense than most men.
She doesn't need your help, or anyone's help, and when she bites off more than she can chew, she may have a hard time admitting she needs a little support.
She is strong. She is opinionated. She is not everyone's cup of tea, but she doesn't mind. She is fiercely, unapologetically herself. She knows it's none of her business what you think of her.
Many admire her, and some want to be just like her.
Every man knows she is a great woman, but it takes a special kind of man to understand her. She is not easy. She is not a "yes girl". She can be frustrating at times, and nobody but a strong, kind man can handle her.
She is often told she should be less independent, or she'll scare off all the boys, but she doesn't want a boy who expects her to laugh at all his jokes and go along with whatever he says.
She is not frivolous or silly. She wants a man who supports her ambitions and her strengths. A man whose ego isn't bruised when she is as handy or as strong as he is. She wants a man who admires her strength and pushes her to better herself. She wants someone who understands she needs her alone time and doesn't want to be treated like an invalid.
Cheers to all you independent women out there, whether you're going it alone and loving it, or you've found the person who understands you and loves you all the more for your fierce independence.
If you're still looking for that one, never settle. Never change just because an old lady told you to be more lady like. A real man will come along one day, and he will realize you don't actually need him. He will feel lucky you chose him anyway.
Keep on trucking, like you always do. You have admirers in this world.
XO, The Cowboy's Wife
