You know it well

He visits us, so the colors fade, the joy of things disappears, the laughter disappears, and the passion and desire for life recede.

In his presence, all things are equal and opposite, and the phrase “it does not matter” becomes the sole title for the days.

The sparkle of the eyes is extinguished, the pulse of the veins calms down, hopes and dreams, the sense of the present and the anticipation of the future recede.

It relentlessly demolishes every effort we promised ourselves to make, and dwells in the details of time, so it becomes worthless and aimless.

It infects us with silence and reluctance to speak, and turns our gaze towards nothingness, so we see and do not see what is around us.

This is how boredom is, a human feeling that affects all of us, men and women, that is difficult to understand or anticipate.

Boredom with us women has another story and a discourse filled with grief. You know it well by those who stop without reason from speaking, blaming or admonishing.

You know him well, the one who leaves everything around her and leaves for the unknown without fear or reckoning.

She knows him very well, the one who wakes up and decides without justification that she will not practice any of the rituals of her boring and repeated daily role for years, and she will not look in her mirror and will not call anyone, and she will not answer messages of concern and denunciation of absence.

You know him well, the one who spends her nights replaying her memories, ruminating on her sorrows, recalling lost opportunities and dreams that did not see the light, and crying for no reason.

You know him well, the one who renounces her life, and you see her as worthless and useless, even if she is the object of envy and admiration.

This is how boredom and boredom are. Difficult times for everyone, especially us women. We need to understand them and believe that what we are going through is a time that must end.

It does not matter that we bloom in all days, and it is not necessary for us to undertake all tasks with the same vigor every morning, and we should not offer hot food every evening, and it is not obligatory to bid farewell and receive the same smile and the same welcome.

As long as the soul is tired and the soul is bored, there is no harm in a truce from everything and a temporary withdrawal from the whirlpool of life, for a few hours or days, then we return to the path that supports us in that faith and acting wisely, and slowly the spirit is renewed and the activity increases.


There is no harm in a truce from everything and a temporary withdrawal from the vortex of life, for a few hours or days, then we return to the road.
