Does Being Poor Make You Unworthy as a Woman?
Lessons I learned in my teenage years.
When I was a little girl, I was dreaming of getting married to my Prince Charming.
Well, actually, not really. Or not exactly. I didn’t really imagine a beautiful fairy tale like wedding…
You see, I come from a poor family in a Ukrainian village, and to spend money on anything extra (rather than food or life necessities) was just out of the question.
And a beautiful wedding would require a lot of expenses. So, not to get disappointed, I just quelled that desire right away to avoid a future dismay.
Oh, the pain and struggle of poverty. At times, there was no money to buy food… Anyways, that’s a story for another time…
But I did have a dream to find a high quality man who would love, cherish, and adore me.
Someone once told me, guys look for and fall in love with the girls of their level within their inner circle. Meaning, you’ve got to have a common ground of similar values, interests, and status. In other words, like attracts like.
Looking back now with the maturity and, hopefully, the wisdom of years and experience, I understand quality men attract quality women and it has nothing to do with your outside circumstances.
