I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I’ll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I’ve got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite.
If we want to talk about responsibility we must stop talking about violence against women in a passive way.
Because one thing is to ask “ how many women are killed by men every year “ and another is to ask “ how many men kill women every year “.
Can you see the difference?
The subject of the sentence is important.
Let’s stop putting the woman asasubject because it leads to phraseslike: “ yes, but she’d been drinking? How was she dressed? “
Begin to put men as the subject “ How did he act? How did he take advantage of her? How did he kill her? “
Disclaimer: this is not the right post to argue with phrases like NOT ALL MEN or WHAT ABOUT WOMEN WHO BEAT MEN? Not because they don’t have sense in general, but because right now we are not talking about that.
I’m afraid of living a stagnant life. I want to do more, I want to see more, I want to be more. I want to constantly grow and better myself in who I am, in my friendships in my relationships, in my career, in every single aspect of my life. I never want to settle for anything or anyone, even the person I am.
