Anne used to wait for it to be over, the pain like candle wax, a melting, burning in her gut. The treatment helped, most days. At least the tests they did said so, numbers that she didn't understand, the words all blurred together in the too bright lights. Perhaps an end more dignified was kinder. She wondered if it might be time.

Me: To me, the answer is a no brainer. But mostly because of the money.

Jan 15, 2023 - Eleventh entry

Today was a good day. It didn't feel like a good day, but it was. Today was productive and a representation of my healing with everything I did. I made it to work fine, though tired, and got through the day like it was no problem. I took time for myself after to rest before leaving to do more work at a friend's house for my own personal adulting adventures. Said friend and I then went to the gym and I pushed myself enough to feel fulfilled but not enough to cause myself unnecessary strain or harm.

I made plans with a new friend for tomorrow. This will be interesting, because this is someone I've interacted with so few times, yet still continuously considers me a friend. Tomorrow will be our first time interacting alone, away from the mutuals who originally brought the two of us together; I expect the interaction to be nothing less than pleasant.

I've thought about my ex-partner so little today; they are slowly fading from my mind in a way where they have so little control over me now. I miss them from time to time, yes, and a part of me does still want to date them again (and probably always will have that desire), sure, but they no longer rule my every waking thought. I haven't cried over them in days, haven't felt unbearable amounts of jealousy, or even felt the desire to respond to their text from last night. I don't know if I'll ever respond to that text in particular. Not that it was bad in any way; in fact it was a nice text to receive. Unfortunately, this text from them doesn't feel worthy enough of a response from me. If I had responded, there would be the possibility of my response being taken as an argument, though that wouldn't have been my intention. Of course, had I responded, that may not have happened anyway. Either way, what I would have sent them in return wouldn't have been much, and sending that text would have felt like a waste of breath.

These last few days, I've become very comfortable with the idea that my ex-partner and I may never actually be friends after all of this. That seems unlikely, from both perspectives the last time I checked, but still certainly possible. My ex-partner is someone I would love to keep in my life in whatever way I am able to, but I know that right now, they have more unlearning to do before they can feel comfortable being a friend to me. While my methods have led me down a different path in my healing and moving on, I understand where they are coming from and why they feel the need to process and proceed the way they are.

Until they show me that they are ready for a friendship with me, I don't feel much of a need to reach out to them. This is certainly something greatly influenced by the users on r/breakup preaching about non-contact, but maybe these people have a point. The last few days, I haven't been filled with dread over them not talking to me or anxiety trying to fight off my desire to talk with them. It took me a bit to get to that point, sure, but I'm there now. They are not my friend right now. They have no obligation to respond to me, just as I have no obligation to respond to them. I am here if, or when, they are ready to reconnect as friends, and I will have their back, friendship or not. This is in their hands now, and I have given up my control.

So much is looking up for me now. I'm taking better care of myself: eating more, talking with more friends, talking more gently and casually with my support system, feeling less of a need to rely on my support system, feeling more artistic again, and so much more. I'm looking forward to wherever this leads me in the near or far future.

Until next time friends, goodnight and take care; I am sending you love <3

“Hallelujah! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights.” —Psalm 148:1

Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people, illuminated by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ’s glory, that he may be known, worshipped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Source: The Book of Common Prayer, p. 215).

First there was a protest against Femicide in Kenya that American news media barely covered. Now there was a protest in Honduras that was barely mentioned.

February 7, 2024

Dressed in black as a sign of mourning, about 300 women marched on Thursday in Tegucigalpa to the National Congress, on Honduran Women’s Day, to protest the increase in femicides.

“We come to demand that the lives of Honduran women be respected, that’s why we come to this National Congress,” an activist who covered her face and hair with black scarves said through a megaphone.

The police placed barriers around Congress as a new legislative period began with the attendance of President Xiomara Castro, but the protesters managed to jump over them and reach the lower part of the building.

“We are marching today against all violence, from domestic violence to femicide. We demand the approval of the Comprehensive Law against Violence that the president promised; we can’t wait,” said Sandra Deras.

According to the Women’s Rights Center, violence against women is on the rise in Honduras. In the first 15 days of 2024, at least 16 women were murdered (according to preliminary police reports there were 15).

According to the National Autonomous University of Honduras’ Violence Observatory, 380 femicides were registered in 2023, compared to 308 in 2022.

According to UN Women data, Honduras is the fifth country with the highest rate of femicides in the world, 6.47 per every 100,000 inhabitants, making it the most dangerous country for women in Latin America.

Congress established January 25 as Honduran Women’s Day because, on that date in 1955, women were granted the right to vote and participate in the country’s political life.
