Silence is golden

We've heard this many times and believe me silence is probably more than golden.

In my recent past I could have really made this guy wonder why he was ever born. Some men think that they can get away with any kind of behavior and treat women like doormats. I guess doormat would be an understatement. He could have been behind bars for his behavior but guess what I let him walk away after speaking my mind. Such men will never learn and continue to live the way they do. I just hope no other woman makes a mistake of spending her life with a man like this.

When I required to be silent I did as I dont need to prove to anyone about the kind of person I am. There are many people who genuinely care for me and like me for the who I am. And, I am a level headed person who would accept if I did make mistakes. But, I cannot succumb to male chauvanisim and an unrealistic expectations in a relationship.

I now understand how precious silence is cause I could have revealed a lot of things which would make the members of his family regret their presence in that place. But, I guess my upbringing has been as such that I walked away with dignity inspite of the worst things that were fabricated about me.

Life is beautiful and has so many things to look forward to. I need to start my journey and I'm proud of myself since I didnt give in to domestic abuse.

I love my family a lot and all the people who care for me. I will start fresh and this time I would not look back on the worst nightmare I've lived.
