desexing ourselves
are you going to desex your dog?, D. asked me once. apparently it’s pretty common. and maybe that’s why dogs are different here. they don’t bark. there’s no dramas in the park. they even smile. did some research. 80% of dogs here are desex. by cutting the testosterone, you remove all the things that are…

giving up control
never been a control freak. and i tolerate very badly control and process driven freaks. or methodic people, like germans. but growing up, you have to be more conscious about your acts. you lose spontaneity. i guess there is also the point about what society expects about you. as a woman of 37 years old.…
