"Independent Woman"- Big Mama stories

From the story, "Independent woman," the value I learned about life is to never live your life depending on any guy no matter how cute he is, no matter the number of promises he makes, and no matter the materialistic things he gives. Men can compliment you making you feel like your the most luckiest woman on earth and they can shower you with gifts, but two questions I'd ask myself if a man treated me that way is how true is his intentions and how long will his good last. Men may say the right words and do the right things in the begining but it may be a trap. That is why I see it's important to be an independent woman because in the end a woman should be able to stand on her own and take care of herself without relying on a man.
