These are things that keep me up at night, create anxiety in my chest and stomach, or make me want to not be human anymore…
- Knowing that men aren’t holding their peers accountable for S.A.
- Walking the streets at night
- Walking past groups of men
- Walking past a man or them walking behind me
- We’re all just a decision away from being a war-torn country and yet we have little compassion for those who are currently in war-torn countries
- The mounting evidence against men who commit atrocities but their “futures” are deemed more important than our safety
- Pregnancy (nausea, vulnerable foetus, hormonal imbalance, mental health instability, lack of control, baby moving)
- Making a decision that ruins my life forever
- Losing my family
- The gap between the wealthy and the starving and the reasons for each
- The growing divide between political left and right
- Everyday people being used by the wealthy to point fingers elsewhere (immigrants, lgbtq+ people, feminists) as the issue instead of at those at the top profiting from our in-fighting
- Being a single mother if my husband passes away
- Becoming severely depressed again
- That billionaires control our government
- Debt or running out of money
- Never reaching my potential
Sincerely,
S. xx
