I was thinking the other day that there’s a reason why witches are always portrayed as ugly, angry old women.

Just imagine, you spend your life being mistreated by half the population, you end up giving up on men and keeping your distance for your own peace of mind, you’ve grown older because that’s just how nature and life work, and you couldn’t care less about the approving or disapproving looks men might give you, just as you couldn’t care less about their opinion, which was never asked for in the first place.

So, in the eyes of a patriarchal society, you come across as ugly, old and angry; and although you’ve every right to be angry after everything you’ve been through, sometimes it’s just that you’ve stopped smiling or put yourself down to please men.

I can't wait to become the ugly old [w/b]itch of my neighbourhood.

I'll have my own little garden.
