I realised that my brain played a few tricks on my memory to render these dark moments blurry.<BR/><BR/>I used to spend hours trying to pick up an outfit that would bring me the least harassment possible. I could never hope for nor harassment, I just hoped for it to end at the verbal stage.<BR/>I used to be so scared though I never showed it, and for a very long time I believed that there was something about me in particular that triggered that extent of harassment. Till I wrote in my blog, and other girls started responding and I realised that every girl in this country rows up knowing what to expect in the street, and is always trying to figure out her own way of dealing with it and of leading a life untainted, and as normal as possible.<BR/><BR/>there is a part in me that knows that this might be the only reason strong enough to make me leave this country and never come backmonasoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342888726720407970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20501378.post-37042122576668389912008-06-05T23:21:00.000+03:002008-06-05T23:21:00.000+03:00Wow.I constantly hear such stories, though seldom ...Wow.<BR/>I constantly hear such stories, though seldom with such eloquence and honesty.<BR/><BR/>I am deeply ashamed of my countrymen. <BR/><BR/>Not that it would make any different but know that there's a guy out there - indeed, many - who is deeply, deeply sorry.Mo-ha-medhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580446493947668369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20501378.post-41961026383296687012008-05-29T17:19:00.000+03:002008-05-29T17:19:00.000+03:00I feel grateful that you have opened up this way. ...I feel grateful that you have opened up this way. Whenever I think of how I've been harrassed all my life, ever since I was younger than this girl, I get depressed and angry and frustrated. I have recently begun to yell back just as you did, especially if I feel that not yelling back may mean that I am 'content' or afraid of screaming out. Oh and it made me feel much better. I still fail to understand the logic behind it, if any. The only explanation I can give is an extremely low self-esteem and a dire need for attention. It's like no one gives a shit about them, so they call for us, their probable sex objects that would relieve their anxiety. That could be just one interpretation, and really, why would a respectable, self-confident, decent man try to annoy you or draw your attention?<BR/>I have failed in finding a full explanation, I have failed in healing the wounds, so I will seek professional help. I'll be seeing a therapist next Saturday, because I feel that my life is on hold. That I cannot enjoy simple pleasures because, at the back of my head, I am ANGRY.<BR/>Thank you.Wild at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369868063662795614noreply@blogger.com
