Menopause – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

4 Comments

Hooked on the wisdom of words. But. I never know what to say or write, as the occasion arises.

Not that I’m shy.

It is half a decade into the pandemic, and I find myself further in the dark. Out at the park. The local park bench of my childhood. As my testosterone and oestrogen levels slowly take a downhill dive.

I was five, and where was my father? He was out of sight. They took him, they took him into the mountains, and he was fading. He was fading into the darkness.

I’m exhausted by the flashbacks. My back hurts, from the Lunar rollercoaster ride, the highs and the lows, and then the lows. But the soft cotton textured darkness carries me. Sleep please, the anger in my heart. Let me depart. Let me sleep.

Kisses, kisses on my forehead, my head. And it was dawn again. Did I wash my hair? My children, I dare say, are towering over me. It has been a lifetime you see. So please, please be gentle with us.

.
See us please
The greys in our hair
The skin tags
The bags
The wisdom in our eyes

Acknowledge the pain
We have gained
On our hips is an expanding universe
The weight of our children.

We are old, but there is still so much to learn, the concerns of depleting minds. The non-existent presence of middle-aged women.Source: Menopause – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Lima Barreto – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Enganava- se com a deficiência dela; porque, reclusa, sem convivência, sem relações, a filha não podia adquirir uma pequena experiência da vida e a notícia das abjeções de que está cheia, como também a sua pequenina alma de mulher, por demais comprimida, havia de se extravasar em sonhos, em sonhos de amor, de um amor extra- real, com estranhas reações físicas e psíquicas. “

Livros – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Eu gosto de livros; gosto e faço questão de exaltar a importância que sempre devemos dá- los. Afinal, parte da escuridão que permeia a humanidade, poderia ter solução se o povo desse mais importância aos livros, ao conhecimento de modo geral, ao invés de procurar a resposta do que precisam por meio de outros subterfúgios.

A GOP Senate Candidate Blames “Liberal” Judges for His Labor Violations. Just One Problem With That. – Mother Jones – it is not true

“That judge is a Harvard elitist lunatic,” Moreno said on January 22 when asked about the legal proceedings, first reported by the Columbus Dispatch, in a televised debate against the other two Republican Senate candidates running for the competitive seat currently held by Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown.

But there’s a problem with Moreno’s defense: it isn’t true. The judge overseeing Moreno’s jury trial, Michael Ricciuti, was no liberal activist. He was a Republican-appointed jurist who also served as chief of the anti-terrorism and national security unit of the Boston US Attorney’s office under President George W. Bush. The state supreme court that later upheld a wage regulation requiring employers like Moreno to pay sales staff overtime was also predominantly conservative.
