LOH Contest # 204// From one woman to another woman (ENG-ESP)
Aquí está la versión en españolToca
Some people are happier when it rains, others' moods tend to shift and they become blue (sad or down). How do you usually feel on rainy days and what are your favorite things to do?
I don't like rainy days at all because it feels like everything is sad when looking at the cloudy sky and it is even worse when there is thunder and lightning. When it rains with the sun outside it is different, when this phenomenon happens, in my country they say that the devil's daughter is getting married. That makes me remember that a few days ago, I was in my room sleeping super deep, even dreaming, but suddenly it started to thunder out of nowhere, so strong, that my eyes were opened suddenly. I felt scared because it was something I wasn't expecting and I couldn't get back to sleep 😁.
When it rains I don't have as much freedom as when it's sunny and that forces me to stay indoors. For me, spending a lot of time indoors is extremely boring. I love being outdoors for as long as I can, because on the street I'm constantly on the move, so if I could spend my time outside, with a lot of people around that I get along with, that would be great. In fact, when I was in college, I used to spend the night with a group of friends at the beach on weekends, the next day my back was red from so many mosquito bites, but all strawberry 💯 . Many Cubans are fascinated to be all the time in the street, doing different things: talking to people, finding out about neighborhood gossip 😆 and talking about politics, although nowadays everybody talks about how bad the situation is in the country, almost all conversations end or start with this phrase: "la cosa está dura" (it's hard). It's all anyone talks about 😁. With the heat here, it makes things more complicated. It may seem like a contradiction, but I enjoy sunny days, even if it's not that hot.
A husband told his wife that he wishes her to say "okay" and "yes" to whatever he says to avoid further discussions or arguments. What would you do if you were in her shoes? Would you agree and nod to everything even when it is against your will or feelings? Please share your thoughts.
If I were in your shoes, I really couldn't accept that. I can't stand it when someone tells me what I should or shouldn't do. I'm pretty firm in my ideas, but I'm not going to impose my opinions or decisions on others, so I can't accept someone doing that with me. I've had several problems with some macho men because of this, and in my own relationships, I often say, "take souvenir photo, because the day you're wrong about me, you won't see me anymore, not even in paint" 😆. It also bothers me when guys say, "women are all mean to men, women are not easy" But all human beings are complicated, that's why I don't generalize men, nor tolerate them doing the same with women when the conversation is in front of me.
During a personality Enneagram course, I met other girls who were quite submissive in their relationships. Most of the cases were in E9 (unhealthy) women. I am E9 (healthy) with wing 8, so I could understand the personality of these girls quite well, but since I was raised by a lioness 😁, I learned not to be intimidated by anyone. Women who suffer from machismo are very unhappy, and the men who abuse them don't really care about this fact. That is why it is essential that we ourselves are supportive for those women who do not know how to handle their own abusive situations. In the Enneagram of Personality group, many women helped others to find their voice and empower themselves.
The Enneagram really helps you face your fears and heal any trauma you may have. This self-knowledge is essential to be able to live more harmoniously with the rest of the world and to simply say "No" when we don't want to. No one has the right to decide for us or mistreat us physically or psychologically, just as we do not have that right either. We just have to act by thinking about whether we would like to be treated the way we treat other people.
I hope my reflections are in line with those of other women in the community. The most important thing is to be true to ourselves. The world may say otherwise and misinterpret liberal and independent behavior. No matter.
Algunas personas son más felices cuando llueve, el humor de otras tiende a cambiar y se vuelven azules (tristes o decaídas). ¿Cómo sueles sentirte los días de lluvia y qué es lo que más te gusta hacer?
Los días de lluvia no me gustan para nada porque se siente como si todo estuviera triste al mirar hacia el cielo nublado y es peor aún cuando hay truenos y relámpagos. Cuando llueve con el sol afuera es diferente, al ocurrir este fenómeno, en mi país se dice que se está casando la hija del diablo. Eso me hace recordar que hace algunos días, estaba en mi cuarto durmiendo súper profundo, incluso soñando, pero derepente comienzó a tronar de la nada, tan fuerte, que se me abrieron los ojos de golpe. Me sentí asustada porque era algo que no esperaba y no pude volver a retomar el sueño 😁.
Cuando llueve no tengo tanta libertad como cuando hay sol y eso me obliga a quedarme en casa. Para mí, pasar mucho tiempo en casa es sumamente aburrido. Me encanta estar al aire libre tanto tiempo como pueda, porque en la calle estoy en constante movimento, si pudiera domir fuera de casa, con un montón de gente alrededor con la que me lleve muy bien, sería genial. De hecho, cuando estaba en la universidad, solía pasar la noche con un grupo de amigos en la playa los fines de semana, al día siguiente mi espalda estaba roja de tantas picadas de mosquito, pero todo fresa 💯 . A muchos cubanos les fascina estar todo el tiempo en la calle, haciendo diferentes cosas: hablando con la gente, enterándonos de chismes del barrio 😆 y hablando de política, aunque actualmente todo el mundo habla de lo mala que está la situación en el país, casi todas las conversaciones terminan o comienzan con esta frase: "la cosa está dura". Es de lo único que se habla 😁. Con el calor que hace aquí, se vuelven más complicadas las cosas. Puede parecer una contradicción, pero disfruto de los días soleados, aunque no con tanto calor.
Un marido le ha dicho a su mujer que desea que ella diga "de acuerdo" y "sí" a todo lo que él diga para evitar discusiones o discusiones posteriores. ¿Qué harías tú si estuvieras en su lugar? ¿Aceptarías y asentirías a todo aunque fuera en contra de tu voluntad o tus sentimientos? Por favor, comparte tus pensamientos.
Si estuviera en su lugar, realmente no podría aceptar eso. No soporto cuando alguien me dice qué debo hacer o no. Soy bastante firme en mis ideas, pero no voy a imponer mis opiniones o decisiones a los demás, así que no puedo aceptar que alguien haga eso conmigo. He tenido varios problemas con algunos hombres machistas debido a esto, y en mis propias relaciones, suelo decir: "saca foto de recuerdos, porque el día que te equivoques conmigo, no me verás más, ni en pintura" 😆. También me molesta cuando los chicos dicen: "las mujeres son todas malas con los hombres, las mujeres no son fáciles" Pero todos los seres humanos somos complicados, por eso no generalizo a los hombres, ni tolero que hagan lo mismo con las mujeres cuando la conversación es frente a mí.
Durante un curso de Eneagrama de la personalidad, conocí a otras chicas que eran bastante sumisas en sus relaciones. La mayoría de los casos se daban en mujeres E9 (no sanas). Yo soy E9 (sana) con ala 8, así que podía entender bastante bien la personalidad de estas chicas, pero como fui criada por una leona 😁, aprendí a no dejarme intimidar por nadie. Las mujeres que sufren de machismo son muy infelices, y a los hombres que las abusan realmente no les importa este hecho. Por eso, es fundamental que nosotras mismas seamos apoyo para esas mujeres que no saben cómo manejar sus propias situaciones de maltrato. En el grupo de Eneagrama de la Personalidad, muchas mujeres ayudaban a otras a encontrar su voz y empoderarse.
El Eneagrama realmente ayuda a enfrentar los miedos y a sanar cualquier trauma que se tenga. Este autoconocimiento es esencial para poder vivir de manera más armoniosa con el resto del mundo y para decir simplemente "No" cuando no queremos. Nadie tiene el derecho a decidir por nosotras o maltratarnos física o sicológicamente, así como nosotras tampoco tenemos ese derecho. Solo hay que actuar pensando si nos gustaría que nos trataran de la forma en la que actuamos con otras personas.
Espero que mis reflexiones concuerdan con las de otras mujeres de la comunidad. Lo más importante es ser fieles a nosotros mismas. El mundo puede decir lo contrario y malinterpretar el comportamiento liberal e independiente. No importa.

The images were taken by me during the photography course, on the first day of using the camera.
I can relate to that feeling of being stuck indoors when it rains, and how the unexpected sound of thunder can startle you! It’s cool that you enjoy sunny days and being out and about, surrounded by people. Sounds like your college beach nights, despite the mosquito bites, were fun times!
Yes, remembering is reliving, the times in college were great. Thanks for your comment!!!

It sounds like you enjoy having fun in the outdoors and I can understand how the rainy days can dampen your spirit especially when you are forced to stay in :)
I agree, we should not allow ourselves to be treated unfairly. We have our own voices and opinions and nobody should take our freedom to express them, not even our spouses or partners.
This gave me a chuckle :D
That is a phrase we Cuban women use on certain occasions 😆😆😆.
