✒️ my handwriting



Again, I shared another one of my writings for you, my dears, I always try to choose my stories to write on matters related to women, so that it receives your attention and support. 

I hope you can forgive yourself, Dad, because at least I can't. Every moment when I trembled with fear and shed tears because of no one, you were worried about your dignity and your own state! I would swallow hard or put myself in the wall for fear of being beaten, and I would give up because of exhaustion and my legs would go weak, or at night I would hug an orphan and without support to my pillow and silently cry. You were thinking about yourself all the time, thinking about that eyebrow. Damn you, I kept silent because of you and your attitude. I was always the opposite of you who forced your words into my head. You and your wife were never my mother and father! You only used the names of mother and father! I could never touch having a mother properly. I should look at her as a friend because you were drowning in your absurd thoughts and opinions; you made me a tired, cold and lonely woman at the age of 16.  That's why I changed...
  If you keep telling yourself, I can't do this because I'm a girl, because I'm a girl, I'm very miserable, because I'm a girl, so-and-so will be associated in your mind and it will take place in your brain. others, I will not ruin my life, I will do what makes me successful, if you see success in singing, then go to the place where women's voices are denied, if you want to be an actor, then become an actor, don't care if they say it's a lie Is it? You can't, by the way, you can, you were created for something that has grown in your mind now, so don't let other people's words stop you from achieving your dreams.
