Chapter 1: The Innocence of Childhood Wishes

As children, many of us eagerly asked for unexpected gifts without a second thought.

How many of you boldly approached strangers for random treats in your youth? What shifted in our perspectives as we matured?

Why is it that in adulthood, we often feel restricted from expressing that same desire? Why are we sometimes labeled as shallow or opportunistic for simply wishing to enjoy gestures of kindness and affection?

Many women are warned that expressing a desire for gifts might lead to expectations in return from men. Does this suggest that our presence, warmth, and femininity are undervalued?

Isn't it enough of a reason for a man to offer a gift if you are genuinely giving him your attention? While I'm not insisting that gifts are obligatory, I believe that the act of receiving should be celebrated.

I still remember the first significant present I received from a boy at the age of 14: a beautiful, albeit expensive, perfume. My excitement was palpable, and I rushed home to share my joy with my mother. However, her response was far from what I expected. She insisted that I return the gift, stating, "Accepting gifts from boys is inappropriate. Doing so creates an obligation, and they might expect something in return!"

That moment diminished my joy, leading me to shy away from accepting gifts altogether. I deprived myself of the pleasure that comes from such gestures until recently!

Now, 15 years later, I have reconnected with my inner self who delights in receiving gifts wholeheartedly!

Chapter 2: The Natural Right to Receive Affection

I share this with you, ladies, because I wholeheartedly believe in our divine qualities. We are meant to be valued and loved. Women are entitled to receive flowers, gifts, and affection — it's as essential as breathing. We are born to accept, after all, we are granted the very gift of life.

Men appreciate women, and I love indulging in classic films from the 1950s, showcasing women who embody grace and beauty. They are celebrated and adored, often surrounded by men presenting tokens of love like gifts and flowers.

I understand and respect the independent movement, and everyone has the right to make choices that align with their values. However, I struggle to see why it's frowned upon for a woman to accept gifts from men who genuinely care for her and wish to express their affection.

I believe discomfort with receiving gifts stems from the idea of obligation. But if you, as a woman, are clear about your boundaries, this shouldn't be an issue.

If you’re interested, delve further into this subject in my ongoing series focused on women. Our perspective shapes our reality, and I choose to view life as a garden filled with beautiful flowers, romantic gestures, and men eager to bring joy into our lives.

To all the wonderful ladies out there, I encourage you to embrace receptivity and allow the universe to shower you with the delightful things you truly deserve! ❤️
