just feeling blue...

sorry for the lack of posting this week. i just haven't felt up to it. the daily assault of news stories and articles about violence against women and children has just really worn me down. sometimes it feels so hopeless and futile with no end in sight that i just want to go to sleep forever and forget about it.

story after story after story after story after story after story world without end.

how many times can your heart be broken before it finally just gives up and calls it quits? i guess we'll find out...

    That old slough of despond can certainly feel very deep sometimes - almost like things are designed to bring you down to quitting point.

    But the thing is (and I know you know this), once your eyes are open and you're seeing things, you can't just stop being aware so quitting isn't really an option. You just have to keep going.

    I had a bad couple of weeks a little while ago too - feeling so small and alone and insignificant against the huge tide of women hatred that washes in every single bloody day. It is never ending and it does wear you down.

    That's why it's really important to look after yourself.

    We're in this together and we need women like you. We need your vision, your understanding, your articulation, your commitment and passion. And we need you to take care of yourself so that you have the strength to carry on.

    Take a break?

    I did and nothing much happened that was any different in the world apart from the fact that I was able to re-centre myself. The support I received from the online radfem community was incredible. I guess we all must sink from time to time... Yes, we're strong women - but just look at what we're up against. It's hard not to feel hopeless sometimes.

    Lots of love to you Jared - and you can mail me if you want (addy on blog). Just look after you.

    Take a break - enjoy a bit of cat banter over a Sparkle's to cheer you up!

  • I forgot to mention, that slimebag child killer that got tattoo'd in prison, found the blog mentioned:

    I wish that all the child molesters, rapists, and wife beaters would all get tattoo'd - but I doubt there is that much ink in the world.

  • God I know exactly how you feel. I get so bogged down sometimes, I feel like just crawling under a rock and never coming out. I know EXACTLY how you feel....
