Are We Humans? Or Are We Women?

My Dear Athenas,

I don't have an answer for you. All I can say is that yes, we are just humans. To feel bad or to be a bad person does not - necessarily - come toghether. So I think is ok to feel both, and, at the same time, feel good about it.
I have a confession. I use to keep my feelings to myself. I thought that, that way I would be a better person, more mature and responsable. I was superior. Well, it came out that all I kept for myself turned into something bad for me - most of the time demostrate in a huge stomach ache. Now, I say whatever I want, whenever I want... and being Good About It.
Goethe said: "Life teach us to be less harsh with ourselves and with others". And that's why, sometimes we feel so guilty about feeling good with ourselves cause someone else is bad.
My dearest friend, I tell you, we are women too. And all that we need to know is that we can be anything that we want to. Allow yourself to feel anything. You feel, isn't is just amazing? You're allowed to. So just do it.
As for me, all I can feel is a mix of weird feelings. I miss the one I thought would be the one. He's leaving his safety to fight for a bigger cause. And I, just another woman, am totally concerned with this. Well, at least I'm allowing myself to feel sad.
Funny... the other day a guy - someone I was seeing - told me I can't like somethings, just because I'm a woman... but he could, cause he was a man. I couldn't help but wonder... when did I stopped being a human and became a woman?

"Live Your Life Until Love is Found"

Athenas, My Darling,

You are absolutely excused for your delay.

But about your last letter I must say, you seemed that you got caught lost in the middle of everything. But what's everything?
About your friend, are they affraid to tell you the truth? Geez, they shouldn't. They are the ones that should look at you in the face and say it out loud... I just can't believe. One thing that I take for myself is truth above all.
I've started going out with someone recently. It's been the nearest thing to amazing. By all meannings. And at a point I realized he was feeling weird about the sittuation. We were good friends before it happened. I don't really now how it started, just now that is great right now. It feels so right. But - and there's always a but, right? - I don't want to get into a real relationship right now; neither does he. We both left coplicated relationships. But it feels so right... what to do ? Talk darling, we talked.
So we sitted one night and straighted things up. Basically I told him that I wasn't falling in love with him. You should have seen his face, so relieved. Also said that I would call him whenever I wanted. If he answered, ok... if not, ok too. We will let the things go with the flow. We are living our life... will love be found? I don't know. And so what? Should I call it a relationship or break up. For what? Who carers?

Love, Always,

Aphrodite
