In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Being a woman also involves maturing emotionally, psychologically, and behaviorally. Most importantly: you will have to learn how to be independent. This will involve learning new skills and habits that will pave a pathway toward success as an adult. There are a lot of things to learn. You might not be able to learn them all right away, but these life skills will allow you to carve your own path through the world without relying on anybody else. Consider purchasing or checking out of the library books that can help orient you to the world of womanhood. Pay attention to how-to guides to help you learn valuable skills. The internet, your friends, and trusted adult mentors are also great resources for learning the skills you will need to be an independent woman. Financial responsibility is important as you mature from a girl into a woman. Perhaps you are working in your first job, preparing to pay for college, or thinking about moving out of your parents' home. In all these cases you will have to learn important life skills such as: Balancing your checkbook. Keeping careful track of your income and expenses. Paying your taxes in a timely way. Saving up for large purchases and to create a safety net. Learning when it makes sense to take on debt, and when it does not make sense. One way to become a more independent young woman is to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B without depending on your parents. Depending on how old you are and where you live, you might inquire about getting your driver's license or learning permit. Otherwise you can look into public transportation options so that you can travel freely to school, work, and other locations. Being able to keep your commitments, show up on time, take responsibility for your actions, and respond appropriately to criticism will all serve you well in your life as a woman, especially if you work in a career. Finding and keeping a job will allow you to learn how to be independent and will also give you some financial freedom as you mature into womanhood. As your body develops, your body will have different requirements for appearing put-together and healthy. For example, you might have to shower more often than you did when you were a girl, and you might want to use different products to clean your face now that it is more acne-prone. Other things to keep in mind are: Keeping your hair tidy. Whether your hair is long or short, straight or curly, you will want to find ways to keep your hair from appearing messy. Perhaps you will put your hair up into a bun, find a short cut that you can maintain easily, or trim your split ends frequently. Taking care of your clothing. Make sure that your clothing fits and that you are taking care that your clothes are clean, wrinkle-free, and in good shape. Wearing accessories. Some women like to wear jewelry and make-up; others do not. If you choose to wear accessories, make sure they are age-appropriate, adhere to dress codes for work or school, and that you are not allergic to them. For example, a bright pink unicorn necklace might have been appropriate when you were a girl in school, but will likely be frowned upon at your new job at a local bank. Consider a simple gold necklace instead. Whether you live with your parents, siblings, roommates, or by yourself, you will need to take more responsibility for the place where you live. As a child, perhaps you could let things slide, but adulthood brings with it more responsibility. This means cleaning up any messes you make, vacuuming and sweeping regularly, and making sure common areas (such as bathrooms or kitchens) are cleaned regularly. Figuring out how to prepare healthy snacks and meals for yourself will help you mature into a healthy, happy woman. You might not be able to rely on anybody else to do your shopping, so you will have to learn how to meal plan, make a grocery list, purchase healthy and nutritious ingredients, and prepare them appropriately. Prepare to make a lot of mistakes as you learn how to cook, but remember that these mistakes are all educational.
Summary: Tell yourself that being a woman is more than a physical thing. Research the skills you want to build. Manage your finances. Figure out transportation. Learn job skills. Take care of personal hygiene and your appearance. Take care of your living space. Learn how to feed yourself.

Holding back positive, loving emotions prevents us from loving as much as we could and should. Sometimes in order to love as well as possible, we need to step out of our comfort zones. For instance, if your partner really feels loved when you hold his or her hand when walking around town, but you think holding hands is childish, try to change this belief and behavior within yourself. Showing that you love someone in new ways can deepen the relationship and allow you to be more loving. If you make the relationship all about you, it will be hard to know how to be more loving of your partner. Ask your partner each day after work or school how they're feeling and how their day has been. Show your concern and listen to what they have to say. Ask relevant follow-up questions when they share interesting details with you. Everyone has different ideas about what actions demonstrate love. Ask your partner about what kinds of behavior they consider loving. For instance, perhaps your partner thinks holding the door open for him/her is loving, or feels really loved and close to you when you give them back rubs. Instead of just assuming that fixing your partner's computer for them will demonstrate that you love them, ask them directly about what actions they consider loving. Many couples like to call each other "honey," "sweetie," or some equally cute term of endearment. You could even use an inside joke to give your partner a silly pet name that only they will understand. Showing support to your partner is obvious and important during times of crisis, such as when his or her parents pass away, or when they crash their car. However, you can also be more loving toward your partner by demonstrating some simple everyday forms of support. When you partner wants to try a new sport, for instance, you should not make fun of them or criticize their effort to expand their horizons. That would not be a loving act. Instead, encourage them to pursue their interests as long as they remain, safe, healthy, and happy. You can also offer emotional support your partner when your partner is having a bad day. Sometimes, showing you support your partner is as simple as listening to what they have to say and telling them you're concerned about their plight.
