I mean, it's so mundane. I walk out and my eye wanders to see who is ahead of me, behind me, when a bike is nearby, when a car has music blaring, when someone appears out of nowhere, when I hug my giant purse to my body and put my head down and walk and Realize that I don't care anymore. If you're coming for me, then I have the right to know, lift my head up and show you that I belong here, I deserve to feel safe and that I am not going to give you the power. If you leer, I will ask you what the problem is, if you stare, I'll gesture to you and ask you what you want, if you sing or whistle, I will stop and look and wonder at you and if it persists, I will ask what you think you're doing because This is how I've lived my life. Worried and scared and never at ease and always alert and that's what everyone told me to do. That's what every woman is told from birth... To never engage the public at large. Even if I'm not wrong. I got flashed at in Trivandrum. Full blown masturbation at noon in a bus station at MG road. Dude. I can't tell you the rage that built until that day. I was 22. I was told when I was 4 not to sit on any man's lap. Probably younger but I didn't get it. I didn't know. You didn't too, probably. It happened to me. To me, too. #metoo #yesallwomen #ibreathefire #ideserverespect #wealldeserverespect (at Bangalore City)

Realization of some self worth

So when I was in 5th grade my teacher told us something that has stuck with me ever since. She told us “you don’t have to like them but you have to be nice to them”. And I’ve used that rule in a majority of situations, whether it be with dating, friends, or family. But literally 5 minutes ago I realized how such bullshit that was. For example. At this very moment there is a guy texting me. We don’t talk very often but whenever we do it always turns into him trying to sext me and all his S&M stuff. And because of this fucking statement my teacher told me in 5th grade, even though I didn’t like it I felt I had to be nice and go along with it. But just now I said NO. I do not like what he is doing, so I DO NOT have to be to him about it. And that’s exactly what I did. He asked why I was ignoring all of his innuendos and I said because I choose to and am not into it and do not want it. It felt weird to say no to something like that because my entire life I’ve always thought, “well I’ll be nice”, and “well HE is upset so I’ll help make him feel better”, “he CHOSE me so I should”. No more. If someone is making unwanted advances on you, do not be nice and go along with it. Call them out, tell them no. Don’t wait to have this realization after its too late and someone has taken advantage of you. You are more than that.

Four months later I still can't help but wonder when I started losing you. Can't help but wonder what was real & genuine. What point in time did you start looking at me and not feel a damn thing?

Honestly it feels so great removing toxic people from my life :)

Can I kill ignorant men that treat women like a piece of shit? Just like that guy in America that killed women because he convinced himself they owed him something. Haaha. I should do that too because I deserve respect.
