Safety

The day I needed something to protect myself , he gave ne this. He is a man too, yet he never made me feel like I had to depend on a man for my safety.

Instead , he quietly made sure I could protect myself. maybe that’s what meant the most to me , not the thing that he gave me but the thought behind it. I’m not sure when can I say women are safe even many of the men out there know very well that how men are so they try to protect their loved ones at all cost. Such harsh truth but it’s the reality and we all women have to live with this even men are suffering from this now. The day when he gave me this I realized how worried he is because how unsafe it was for me and he is scared too. I got this after sharing what harsh things have happened with me to him, he is always there with me just in case he started buying me stuffs to protect myself when I’m alone. On that day when I was very vulnerable remembering my past he reminded me that my safety and I’m the one who matters.

It was some strange feeling when I got this from him it was meaningful because like we women not all women but many of them don’t trust men easily because of what they have done so I had this in mind too he would’ve just told me to be careful, told me that nothing would happen or promised me that he would be there always .

But instead he gave me something that meant, “Even when I’m not there, you should still be able to protect yourself.”

His gesture never felt like he was trying to prove that men are dangerously or that I should be afraid. It felt more like he understood that sometimes safety is not about who is standing beside you , it is about knowing you have the ability to stand up for yourself.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget the day he gave me this. Maybe because it wasn’t really about this safety tools all the time to protect myself. It was about the thought behind it and the quiet care that came with it.

Some things are useful, some are beautiful and some carry a meaning you only understand when you truly need them.

For me this will always be one of those things.

I hope every women has someone to rely on and they get every happiness I’m so proud of them and I pray for them never ever they go through any pain in their life.
