Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Being a woman can be a tiring, thankless job. All the while being surrounded by imagery of goddess, women are taken for granted.
Being a woman can be inherently overwhelming. Despite carrying so much inside, it can be hard to pour it all out on paper. A lot of mine has been drained out of everything. And less of all things is what I get.
I have this deep ache and I think I can’t really get over this. I am extremely exhausted from everything around me. Likewise, I am present but mentally sick.
There are times when I tend to forget things that need to be done, and I end up listening to the lame jibe, ‘You’re good for nothing’. I need an oasis of peace and sanity.
For me, life is an unkind wheel of existence. Everything is biotic yet too shallow, vain, bare, untenanted, devoid, and I beg to assert all the synonyms that can describe my vehement despair.
I was a good woman. Not any more, when hardships were hardest. When jeers were pure malice. I was virtuous and soft. So now people call me wicked and godless. People really don’t give a fuck about mental health, especially a woman. A woman has to “sacrifice”.
They make it look so normal and surreal. A woman has nothing for herself, but values forgiving and giving over all. She is still in every house that deserves nothing of her.
I want to tell my daughter to be a good human and not a deity. This ends here. With me. Period.
