Balancing Responsibilities and Being Responsible - #294

Some questions are just too important that it causes some moments of reflection.
Balancing responsibilities of various sectors of life is really a huge one because it is a different thing to take responsibility and it is another to balance the equation of responsibilities when they are more than 1 in the plate to sort, making one not weighing more on a side than the other.

I can't say I have it all balanced as there is actually a part that suffers for the rest which I am able to respond to effectively. Probably because I don't put myself first coupled with the whole survival mode currently in vogue of which I'm trying to work on but it's of a fact that my career has been partially affected in the cause of looking out and performing other responsibilities.

I've been lagging behind lately careerwise, courses I need to take, some scholarships I applied for to boost my certifications of which I was choosen but then, sufficient resources are denying me of having full access to take up these opportunities. Just like a popular saying in my tribe that when money is out of the picture, ideas remain pending and even though there may be free courses on platforms, it's still vivid that for every good and standard knowledge you need or must get, money must be involved no matter how little it may be.
Hopefully, I'll be able to have a different story the next time a prompt like this pops up.

AND

To be a responsible woman in today's world, it means you are not shying away from taking care of your home which may be your children, husband and family at large and at the same time you are not lagging out on taking care of yourself as well. Being a responsible woman means not being a nuisance and object of ridicule in the society, maintaining dignity and the respect she owns and carry as a woman.
