Entitlement

About a week ago, I listened to the Woman of Impact podcast on YouTube, with an interview of Dr Jessica Taylor, sharing how women have been subjected to abusive treatment by the state in UK (and in Sweden too, I can testify) and how victims of stalking, as well as stalkers, behave. I have been trying to not take it in too much, how much I've been stalked, both online with numerous intrusions and sabotages of my professional endeavors, and in person in my homes. Listening to this podcast, allowed me to feel it some more, to get a better grasp of the abuse.

One of the things I realized, was that she affirmed that many stalkers seem to claim an entitlement of their victim. This is exactly how I perceive both my male stalker acting, with a delusion about ever being in a relationship with me, and the female slanderous yoga teacher, as if she would be entitled to my content in my books, social media, reels etc, including the photos of me.

And then it struck me: What do I feel entitled to? Am I feeling entitled to anything? Is this even why I became a prey, or have I felt less, because of?

I am of course entitled to a good life. I'm entitled to have a nice home. I'm entitled to good sleep and to pursue my preferred choices for my best health. I'm entitled to work with what I'm educated in (which is several professions) and/or have experience of. I'm entitled to have close friends that treat me in an equal manner. I'm entitled to a good love life, in a committed and mutual relationship. I'm entitled to pursue my passion in my free time. I'm entitled to voice my opinion and share my truths, including in the media. I'm entitled to make my own decisions and choices. I'm entitled to have my faith. And, I'm entitled to migrate too.

Nobody, is entitled to anything I own.
