at times you may think you trust something new/different may happen to you but if in the back of your mind it still feels impossible cause of your past (nothing went as you'd have wished and you had to accept crumbles), you may even tend to *unconsciously* not fully believe in that and just protect yourself from the usual old pain and tell yourself a different story so that in case things won't be good this time as well, you won't suffer as much anymore.

this layer of protection around your already harshly wounded heart, despite seeming safe and a good compromise, it's not of help to you as it keeps you stuck in a situation that is no longer where you belong or want to stay. it doesn't allow you to really leave that cycle. to really be able to see and welcome something else. it only gives you more self doubts and insecurities about your worth/deservance and ...makes you ready to say "I knew it, it's never going to happen/be different for me": but that's cause it's what you were expecting for real, what were up to see. you were waiting for something negative, for another confirmation of your fears.

to really change things, you need to let go of the fear of being hurt, to let yourself be ready to get hurt again possibly, be vulnerable: you will survive anyway as you always did. ofc it will hurt, but... what if this time things will really be different for you? what if you won't get hurt? it ofc feels scary cause it's something you're not used to, but why let your fears take control of your life and keep you stuck where you don't want to stay anymore (and where it really hurts you)? just because you don't want to potentially get hurt? kids learn to walk and keep running even if they fall and get hurt in the process (not just potentially, it happens). but they get up again and try again, until they master it all. maybe that's the trick. start trying. it may not work immediately but it will once you master your fears. you'll learn to run.

please have a talk with yourself. take care of your heart but also be aware you can make it. you can really get anything you want, if you really let yourself and stay open and hopeful. you also have time to receive, don't wait for immeidate results... it'll come.

It’s a strange thing how people both reject and cling to gender stereotypes, depending on the ends they seek.

We are rightly reminded that women can do anything a man can, with each of us encouraged to throw off our antiquated expectations of womanhood.

And it’s true – a woman can be a CEO, a woman can lead a nation, a woman can chair any meeting she wants, and a woman can provide for her family.

Yes. If he can do it, so can she.

But why does this approach to women’s empowerment only extend to things we like and are willing to accept?

What about the things we don’t like, are women any less capable here?

What about a woman’s ability to be violent? To be a criminal? Or indeed an abuser?

Is this not what autonomy truly is? Choice.

For many, women’s independence doesn’t stretch this far - and suddenly you’ll see the people who championed women as capable of anything, start to wave these things away, placing back upon women the very shackles of gender stereotypes, they were ripping off just moments ago.

‘Oh no, women can’t be violent in relationships, and if they are it is only in self defence!’

The squirming to avoid the reality that women can be violent in relationships is profound.

And the irony of them so readily shirking accountability themselves, is not lost on me.

I once even heard abuse by women explained as a ‘preemptive strike against the patriarchy’.

And there it is.

All our worthy work to see women as capable of anything comes crashing down, to once again infantile women as angels, as children and china dolls, capable of only sugar and spice and everything nice.

For as Warren Farrell put it, “why do we ask if God is a 'She,' but never ask if the devil might also be a 'She'?

What do you think?

The people who claim to be challenging gender roles and tearing down stereotypes are reliably the same ones perpetuating them.

“On this day of the shoot I was standing in my martial arts training uniform, wearing my Black Belt. Then Stevie appeared, her hair done to resemble the mane of a lion. She was psyched up for some serious photographing. Stevie wore her familiar thick-soled, thick-heeled, knee-high brown suede kid leather boots. High roll-over socks appeared over the top of these elegant Swedish boots and hung tentatively around her knees.

Stevie also had on the most unusual dress, with a snow white multi-layered, multi-lengthed hem-line. The white chiffon had multi-colored flowers. With the sun behind us during the shoot, Stevie would kick, sometimes over my head, so her dress would spread like a giant Japanese fan or butterfly wing.

In these kicking-style photographs the sun also made her dress partially see-through: just enough to be artistically interesting.

This lady was a professional: in two hours I had a hundred of the most magnificent photos ever offered to the martial arts, and just one would make the cover.”

—Bob Jones on working with Stevie for his 1983 book, Hands Off!: A Unique New System of Self Defence Against Assault for the Women of Today.

Perhaps it is our innermost and most secret life that gives a shudder, and then prepares to defend itself.

you're not a punching bag that your strength will be measured by how much abuse you can take.

sincerely, to all young girls and women— you are a Person, and do not exist to fulfill other people's expectations of you, and just to make others happy. Put yourself before people who won't put you before themselves;

ps- SELF CARE IS NOT— EVER— SELFISH,

never let anyone convince you otherwise— break all ties with Anyone who does. No, you don't owe them ANYTHING.

ABUSERS ARE NOT FAMILY.

Umm also.. LOVERS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ABUSIVE EITHER.

OR FRIENDS.

Drop such bags of trash.
