Status Updates From Et la joie de vivre

Everyday people thank me for my courage. I want to tell them this is not courage, but a deep urge and determination to change our patriarchal, sexist society.

It hardens inside you and in turn hardens you. I had always lived like that, and I fully intended to continue doing so. I didn’t yet realise that this time I wasn’t confronting death, but a terrible poison. Unlike grief, it destroys your memories - all of them- one by one, until even your sense of self is gone.

At that point I still believed that suffering must not show; it should stay hidden, like our grief at the loss of those we have loved.

Desgarrador, es una prueba de que se puede seguir adelante en los momentos más dolorosos, es increíble que las red flags puedan ser tan sutiles hasta que que ya no lo son y nos revientan en la cara, porque podemos confundir con defectos o detalles lo que en realidad es una filia o una perversión capaz de transgredir sin piedad.
