I am heading to a total burn out. Am walking a very thin line between going through the motions and a complete break down. Don't ask me why, I don't even know. All I know is that I am beginning to seek more and more time away from people. Sure I hide them well, but as I am exhausted there are times when I suffer from laps. I might suddenly snap and brood. Yes, I am currently brooding, a lot. I of course had no idea what is wrong. Maybe its just exhaustion that's taking its toll. There are times when I live like a super woman. Last few weeks are one of those times.
I don't want to blog in this mood. Let me just sit in one corner and brood. Yes, I am very much my father's daughter. I'm torn between time for myself and time to gather with my friends. I need time to rest. But I need to catch up with friends that I ignored during my preparation for exam. *sigh* Tired...
...
*Sits in a corner and broods* It's not getting better, I'm feeling worse. Heartaches...
Later.

For every woman who is tired of acting weak when she knows she is strong;
There is a man who is tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable.
For every woman who is tired of acting dumb;
There is a man who is burdened with the responsibility of ‘knowing everything’.
For every women who is tired of being called an ‘emotional female’;
There is a man who is denied the right to weep and be gentle.
For every woman who is called unfeminine when she competes;
There is a man for whom competition is the only way to prove he is masculine.
For every woman who is tired of being a sex object;
There is a man who must worry about his potency.
For every woman who feels ‘tied down’ by her children;
There is a man who is denied the full pleasure of parenthood.
For every woman who is denied meaningful employment and equal pay;
There is a man who must bear the financial responsibility for another human being.
For every woman who was not taught the intricacies of an automobile;
There is a man who was not taught the satisfaction of cooking.
For every woman who takes a step towards her own liberation;
There is a man who finds that the way to freedom has been made a little easier.
