don’t you think everyone wants a bit of fame?
i wonder, at times, if there were others before me, if their thoughts reflected my own, if their actions have ever mirrored my desires.
i think, truthfully, i don’t want to know the answer to that, because if there weren’t, then i’d be alone. i would be painfully alone, an outsider among blood. i don’t think i could bear it.
but i will continue to wonder.
the fate of a housewife.
why must i be resigned to something i have never once expressed desire for, something i, if left to my own devices, would more than likely not subject myself to?
what good is having intelligence, eloquence, skills, if i am to be stuck in a house taking care of a man who is capable of caring for himself? what good is this life if it’s not even mine to live? was i made for this, was anyone?
blessed are children and wives, i have no resentment towards them, for i know, from experience, it is not their fault that they are in the position they inhabit.
but what good is a mind if i have to be mindless? what good is a heart if i have to face lovelessness? what good am i if i am not anything i want to be?
i don’t, and will never, consider humans to be at any biological advantage to other species in this world. it is actually laughable to think of humans as any kind of superior being, for when the eventual extinction and fall of man comes about, it will be by man’s own hand.
what kind of species is the cause of their own downfall? i think that’s something unique to humans. it will be from their own inventions, their own thoughts, that will kill them all, the ones they thought made them above other animals.
“we have language! we have education! we can use our hands to make things!”
whether it be war, man-made disease, or something else that they have created to keep their own superficial beliefs and belongings like power, or money, that truly mean nothing beyond the grave—they will cause their own extinction in one way or another.
they’re too far gone now, i believe, to ever reverse this. they’re too lost in their greed and hunger, and will never be able to obtain the humility needed to take a step back and see what they’ve become.
a painful realization
i watch the baby laugh and coo from afar,
before i am struck with a terrible sadness,
that one day, she, too, will be faced with the struggles of growing up as a woman,
that she will have to endure it all, as i have, because of those her mother labels as family.
in the next instant,
the child chokes,
and time stills,
and i think to myself, they’ve already begun.
