She is waking up
She is an actress. Beautiful and young. She attended the acting school of a famous director and teacher. He is so famous that he enjoys great respect in the world of acting. Thanks to his teaching methods, a lot of talented actors got their first roles and became famous. A truly successful man. That is what we all believed in. That was the first thought of every citizen of my country, when the name of that man was heard.
But now ... He is imprisoned. And why? Because she woke up.
She decided to stop being silent and made a public statement about the sexual abuse by the mentioned director and teacher.
Her statement provoked the disbelief of the entire nation. First disbelief, then disappointment, shock and finally disgust for him and admiration for her. He is 68 years old. Behind him are years of experience and, unfortunately, years of abuse of young and beautiful actresses. Everyone has been silent about that so far. But now... She is waking up.
After her statement and accusation, the other actresses, one by one, began to speak publicly about their personal experience. The actresses were encouraged and as the days went by, there were more and more of them. There were also some actresses who experienced abuse by him even 30 years ago. She woke up the whole nation.
Many actresses who have experienced abuse over the years did not have a clear vision that it was actually abuse until they woke up. He was skilled at what he did and he did it through lectures justifying it to the needs of acting skills.
She received an award for bravery. And his reputation deteriorated in one day.
If we keep quiet, we will never wake up. If we wake up, we can achieve a lot. Our awakening can awaken others. Take a break for a moment and ask yourself if something is sleeping inside you.
Sometimes we are not aware. Sometimes they suggest that we should wear a skirt instead of pants, they touch us by accident. Sometimes we suffer mobbing and consider it normal. I’m not just talking about women and abuse. I’m talking about all the people who are suffering something, and maybe they shouldn’t. From time to time, check to see if something is sleeping inside you. It's never too late to wake up. The effect of awakening frees us from a bad flow that should change its direction to make us feel good.
Don't suffer, don't keep something in yourself that isn't worth keeping. Get it out of you. Wake up just as she is waking up now. And her awakening writes history.
