💜🤍🩷Feliz Día Internacional de la Mujer – 8 de Marzo. 🩷🤍💜

Hoy celebramos la fortaleza, bondad, coraje y sabiduría de las mujeres en todas partes.

Gracias por el amor que das, las batallas que peleas y la luz que traes al mundo cada día.

La mujer le dijo te amo, con el corazón en la mano, sentía que le habría su alma, tanta verdad que erupcionaba desde su boca que no lo pudo evitar.

Pero aquel hombre se llenó de silencio, incomodidad e indiferencia.

La mujer le dijo te amo, sin pensarlo, sólo sintiéndolo, porque el amor no se puede aguantar.

Pero aquel hombre le dió una respuesta ensordecedoramente clara y enfática sin decir una sola palabra.

La mujer le dijo te amo, pero su te amo se desvalorizó en oídos de aquel hombre.

Pero aquel hombre no logró conmensurar lo que estaba perdiendo con su apatía.

La mujer le dijo te amo alguna vez a aquel hombre, pero ese te amo se fue secando como una flor en el desierto.

Aquel hombre estaba perdiendo lo más importante que hay en este mundo, un amor real y verdadero.

Han sido muchas veces las que me he parado frente al espejo y no termina de gustarme lo que veo en él.

Me empiezo a cuestionar sobre mi objetivo en este mundo, en esta vida, y no lo encuentro, me pongo a pensar que quizás como yo varias chicas se sientan igual o incluso peor y es que en definitiva estamos en una batalla constante por aceptarnos, por amarnos y vivir de una forma correcta.

Hoy, esperando aparecer en tu inicio te digo "aquí estoy yo, no estás sola". Al igual que a ti a mí me ha costado bastante quererme y amarme así que acompañemos a crecer y confiar a nuestra chica interior y a todas a las que al igual que tú, que yo, se sienten con demasiadas inseguridades.

I remember when I was a little girl and My mother made me get up early to clean on the weekends while my brothers Got to stay in bed . The amount of times that I got scolded for voicing my disgust. The amount of times I heard “lava tu los Platos porque tu eres la mujer”

(clean the dishes you are the woman )

I always considered it unfair but because this is what I was used to I believed this was normal . I watched my mother serve my father as soon as he got home from a long day of work and it be expected not an ounce of gratitude ,not an ounce of respect from the person that supposedly loved her.

When I got in my first relationship I did what I thought was expected and by doing this I was conditioning the person I was with To expect this behavior from me , so on days that I did not fulfill my “wifely” duties

Then we would have fights and his Macho side would come to the surface ,the you will do as I say because I am the man side came out ,the why did you want a relationship if you where not ready BS came out ,it got so bad that I was afraid of fights and arguments I would make sure that I did what was expected . My duties included cooking ,cleaning,paying the bills and attending the kids .I was a maid without pay or at least that is what it felt like ,now I’m not bashing stay at home moms but this is not what it was for me I wanted to go out and work but I wasn’t allowed to , the man was the bread winner and my place was at home with the children ,it never crossed my mind , I am an adult I don’t need permission I can buy my own beer and smokes but I need permission to go work and socialize? The shit was ridiculous I was so ashamed for years that this happened to me I fell victim to this abuse and for a long time did not even realize it was abuse

Fast forward a few years now an adult and a very independent and successful woman , I don’t cook not because I don’t want to but because I have a very demanding Job ,who wants to come home from a long day of work to clean and cook ? As crazy as it seems , sometimes I feel like I am failing and I feel a sense of guilt , the funny thing is that because both my wife and I are working all the time neither of us expect anything from the other but coming from such a toxic environment its hard to break the chains and break the cycle .So I guess My question is are Latino women just as guilty of falling into the Machismo narrative ?
