This statue, titled “El Esfuerzo” (The Effort) or “La Carga” (The Burden), is located in Barcelona, Spain, on Carrer de la Princesa near the intersection with Via Laietana.
The sculpture was created by artist Jaume Plensa. It depicts a woman carrying a large burden of household items, symbolizing the weight of domestic responsibilities often borne by women, while children cling to her, representing the generational impact of this burden.
I read that this was coming before COVID ;
that relationships would end and a mass
migration would result .
I spoke of the patriarchal system going
after women’s reproductive rights to a
guy who reminded me of my warning
as they reversed Roe vs Wade
Love this
She’s brutally honest , and shocking but the facts are authentic .
Grasping this information several decades ago , I accept this is a correction of in imbalance that created the chasm of disparaging “equality “. So the correction seems like a threat instead of accepting that each of us should temper and balance our yin and yang . It’s a lovely space to be in.
We ask to walk beside man, not in front of or behind as Divine intended .
I will NOT drive myself crazy trying to love a man who knows I’m good to him but still chooses to take me for granted.
I will NOT lose myself in love again, pouring into someone who refuses to pour back into me.
I will NOT honor a cheating man, nor will I allow lies and betrayal to be disguised as love.
I will NOT let a man manipulate me into thinking I’m the problem when he’s the one breaking my heart with his actions.
I will NOT accept being second to anyone when I know I deserve to be the only one.
I will NOT settle for half-love, breadcrumbs, or bare minimum effort just because I’ve invested time in someone.
I will NOT stay in a relationship where I constantly feel unappreciated, unseen, or unheard.
I will NOT tolerate disrespect, gaslighting, or mind games from someone who should be protecting my heart.
I will NOT allow fear of starting over to keep me tied to a man who does not cherish me.
I will NOT damage my mental health, self-esteem, or happiness just to keep a man satisfied while I suffer in silence.
I will NOT ignore my intuition when it tells me something isn’t right.
I will NOT continue to sacrifice my peace just to keep a relationship afloat that was never meant for me.
I WILL choose myself. I WILL protect my heart. I WILL wait for the love that nurtures me, respects me, and sees my worth without me having to beg for it.
I choose ME. My peace. My self-worth. My happiness. And I refuse to compromise that for anyone who doesn’t truly value me.
