"Meltdown"
Sometimes I wish I could just not care about anything. Why did I have to be made to have all these feelings? It's not fair: against my will, I am forced to feel all this, and in return I am pegged as nonsensical. Where's the justice? Where is all the love I am told is "obviously there"? I don't want to cry when I express myself but the tears fall on their own. I don't think I'm an exception. Even those who appear to feel nothing must hide a certain amount of emotion. These people enjoy more power over those who find it impossible to suppress their feelings. I suppose this is why men control the world, and those women who were able to get ahead have done so by swallowing a whole lot of suffering.
How can one embrace one's womanliness without ending up disappointed?

Acceptance is a great answer. It makes me think of the five stages of grief. They are used in a context of grief, but they can very well be applied to life in general. Currently, I'd say you have a mix of anger, bargaining and depression.
ReplyDeleteSo as women, we must just accept the way things are? So men have it their way all the time? Unfair. Our way of viewing the world is just as valid ad theirs; therefore they must make an effort to understand us as well.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't thinking of men or women, just people. Actually, I wasn't even thinking of people, just things; it's larger. But sometimes, like right, the field needs to be more narrow, like right now, to understand, so I must ask you. Has someone dismissed your opinion entirely lately and then dismissed the entire female population? I think I'm missing the context of your post.
