honestly, i've never liked saying 'happy international women's day' on this day. i feel like it's something hollow that goes against what this day truly represents. this day is a call to action, not just superficial acknowledgment. 

phrases like "congratulations for being a woman" inadvertently frame womanhood itself as an achievement. instead, IWD highlights the achievements of women despite systemic barriers and the work still needed to dismantle those barriers. it’s not about celebrating existence but honoring resilience and progress. https://ik.imagekit.io/lens/media-snapshot/da2ffb6e7c3e77df86c3ab9c50172203d5852e91c061dc6360fde50bacede767.png

Seize the day and make it yours!  chu cha choy oi! 💓
