A big thank you to my friends who take a moment to read my little posts here and share their thoughts.

✦ "Do you think society expects women to be strong all the time, even when they need support?" ✦

pink bunny.png

Oh boi, claro que si. De las mujeres se espera mucho, de todas y cada una de nosotras. Se espera que seamos fuertes todo el tiempo, fortaleza que nazca de la paciencia, de la inteligencia, la abnegación y de la empatía a altísimos niveles que si no cumplimos, es franca y directamente reprochado.

Se espera que seamos sabias, que tengamos temple, que nuestra fortaleza no sea solo mental, psicológica, espiritual y física, a veces he sentido que se espera de nosotras una fortaleza más allá de lo racional, casi rozando lo mítico y que los calvarios deben ser adornados con flores porque se supone que pase lo que pase, tenemos un poso de fortaleza mística que mientras más cerca del fondo esta por acabarse, siempre habrá más.

Incluso cuando necesitamos ayuda, se espera que seamos fuertes, porque una siempre encontrará la manera de resolver, y si no es así, se espera que tengamos una razón, una justificación, algo como un salvaguarda o una tarjeta especial que nos absuelva de la gran falla que es admitir lo irrefutable, que el tal poso mágico de la fortaleza no existe, que hay cosas en el mundo y la vida que no somos capaces de sostener, solucionar o sanar.

No estoy tan segura ya sobre los discursos de ponerse en los zapatos del otro, porque todo es circunstancial, pero sí puedo decir que he visto amigas y familiares que cuando han llegado a su límite, nunca falta el comentario sobre que ser fuerte, es un tema de voluntad, y no de posibilidades.

Y por mas voluntad que tengas no todas tienen el privilegio de tener opciones, de tener posibilidades y de ellas disponer de los recursos necesarios que le darían la fortaleza para seguir adelante, eso podría ser una familia, un trabajo estable bien remunerado, amigos, salud, educación, perspectiva...

Por pura biología de nosotras se espera por ejemplo que seamos procreadoras, madres, mucho se dice del instinto materno y de la naturalización del sacrificio por sobre todas las cosas porque en ello esta nuestra razón de ser, dignidad o nuestro sentido de propósito; la realidad si me la preguntas, y aunque opines diferente a mi (eso esta bien) es que nunca dudes de preguntarle a tu familia, amigas o pareja si necesita ayuda, y si te dice que no, vuélvele a preguntar, y te asombrarás de lo que podrías escuchar.

ENGLISH VERSION

Oh boy, of course. A lot is expected of women—of each and every one of us. We’re expected to be strong all the time—a strength that stems from patience, intelligence, self-sacrifice, and empathy at the highest levels—and if we don’t live up to it, we’re openly and directly criticized.

We’re expected to be wise, to have fortitude, and for our strength to be not just mental, psychological, spiritual, and physical— sometimes I’ve felt that a strength beyond the rational is expected of us, almost bordering on the mythical—and that our trials must be adorned with flowers because, no matter what happens, we possess a wellspring of mystical strength that, the closer it gets to running dry, the more there will always be.

Even when we need help, we’re expected to be strong— because a woman will always find a way to resolve things— and if that’s not the case, we’re expected to have a reason, a justification—something like a safeguard or a special card that absolves us of the great failure that is admitting the irrefutable: That this so-called magical wellspring of strength doesn’t exist, that there are things in the world and in life that we’re not capable of sustaining, solving, or healing.

I’m not so sure anymore about the whole “put yourself in someone else’s shoes” talk, because everything is situational, but I can say that I’ve seen friends and family members who, when they’ve reached their limit, are invariably told that being strong is a matter of willpower, not of possibilities.

And no matter how much willpower you have, not everyone has the privilege of having options, of having possibilities, or of having access to the necessary resources that would give them the strength to keep going—whether that’s a family, a stable, well-paying job, friends, health, education, or perspective…

Simply because of our biology, we’re expected, for example, to be childbearers and mothers. Much is said about the maternal instinct and the normalization of sacrifice above all else because in that lies our reason for being, our dignity, or our sense of purpose; the reality, if you ask me—and even if you disagree with me (that’s fine)—is that you should never hesitate to ask your family, friends, or partner if they need help, and if they say no, ask them again—and you’ll be amazed at what you might hear.

✦ "Can a woman be happy with her life even if it doesn't look the way she once imagined?" ✦

pink bunny.png

En el bingo de la vida, en lo positivo quiero decir, creo que si cuentas con solo algunos números ya eres realmente afortunada.

Si tu vida es hoy diferente a como la planificaste quiero pensar que hay al menos un par de cosas por las que puedes estar agradecida y por ende alegrarte muchísimo.

Quizá no vives en la casa que querías, pero tienes un hogar seguro, quizá no tienes la figura con la que te visualizabas, pero te mantienes saludable, y quizá también no tienes algún lujo que soñaste, pero seguro sí tienes algunas comodidades.

In the game of life—in a positive sense, that is—I think that if you have just a few numbers, you’re already truly lucky.

If your life today is different from what you planned, I’d like to think there are at least a couple of things you can be grateful for—and therefore really happy about.

Maybe you don’t live in the house you wanted, but you have a safe home; maybe you don’t have the body you envisioned, but you’re staying healthy; and maybe you don’t have some luxury you dreamed of, but you surely have some comforts.

✦ Times have changed, but not that much—we still have toxic BLs, and we love them ✦

En mi caso puedo decir que soy feliz, mi vida como la imaginé para estas fechas no es totalmente como la visualizaba hace, por ejemplo, 15 años, pero creo es bastante buena.

Porque aunque algunas de las cosas que quería no se cumplieron, muchas cosas geniales llegaron en cambio, hasta rebasar por mucho mis expectativas.

Principalmente creo que soy muy feliz con cómo se ha desenvuelto mi vida, a pesar de no ser 100% lo que planifiqué, porque desde muy joven hice de mi felicidad y alegría algo que no tuviera que ver con el mundo exterior.

A veces tengo que recordármelo a mi misma cuando empiezo a preocuparme por asuntos fuera de mis manos, y claro que hay días malos, pero mantenerme firme en mis principios, aprender de mis errores, y sostener decisiones que sé que están bien a través del tiempo me ha ayudado a estar donde estoy ahora, y en camino de estar cada vez mejor.

In my case, I can say that I’m happy. My life right now isn’t exactly how I imagined it would be at this point—for example, 15 years ago—but I think it’s pretty good.

Because even though some of the things I wanted didn’t come true, many great things came along instead, far exceeding my expectations.

Above all, I think I’m very happy with how my life has unfolded—even though it isn’t 100% what I planned—because from a very young age, I made my happiness and joy something that didn’t depend on the outside world.

Sometimes I have to remind myself of this when I start worrying about things beyond my control, and of course there are bad days, but staying true to my principles, learning from my mistakes, and sticking to decisions I know are right over time has helped me get to where I am now—and on the path to getting better and better.

    In reality, women are sometimes expected to have patience and strength that go beyond human limits. Yet they, too, are human beings who feel, get tired, and suffer and who deserve to be understood.

    I don't think anybody's life is a reflection of what they planned or how they thought it might be. I do think that there is a blessing in that, for oftentimes, it's better than we imagined. It might all be a bed of roses, but even in trials, there is good and there is joy. We just might have to look for them.

    Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day! !LADY
