Greek society - Murder

A morbid yet unfortunately representative example of Greek society (especially smaller towns and islands):

A 37 year old woman, mother of three children was murdered by her husband.
He was planning the crime for a long time, hence why he made certain changes to his farm (moving big rocks etc) to accommodate the body.
Reportedly, the woman started taking kickboxing lessons two years ago (maybe because she was suspicious or already receiving physical abuse?).
She had told her close friends she felt trapped in her marriage and wanted to divorce her husband and move to another city with her children. Apparently he was the jealous type, and one night when he thought that his wife received text from an ex he strangled her. She actually had a broken leg so she couldn't really fight back. He lied to the children, her parents and the police until the end. When the police found the body buried in his farm he started running for it. The police think there is a possibility her father in law helped his son hide the body.

That is Greek society. Trapping women in harmful relationships that result in their death (either physical or emotional). Because even if this woman survived she would still not feel she had anyone in her environment who could save her or help her escape from her husband. And the husband brainwashed from patriarchy, he felt entitled to kill her.

How scary is that. Someone thinking they have the right to take your life because you no longer want to be with them.

I find it extremely hypocritical that the locals are so shocked, talking about how unfair the murder was.
You are the ones perpetuating misogyny, believing females should be in the kitchen raising the kids, taking care of the house...
You are the ones telling women to put up with abuse and domestic violence.
Yet, you pretend to be saddened by the death of this woman. Guess what. You have her blood on your hands as well.
For every murder, for every suicide, for every rape, for every street harassment, for every inequality...
You Greek society. You and your anachronistic hypocritical conservatism are to blame.

So, fuck you.

6 years in UK

6 years ago, when I was 21, on this same day I travelled from Greece to the UK -alone.
I was going to start my bachelor degree in Music.
It was a tremendously hard day which will forever be imprinted on my memory.
Ever since a lot has happened in my life in London. There were a lot of bad and good times. 
I made lifelong friends, I moved on from some friendships and created new ones, I made music, I partied like there was no tomorrow, I got my bachelor, I started a masters degree, I faced serious problems, I survived, and I found love.
Athens is always in my heart; my home, the city, my family, my friends...
But London has given me so much within these 6 years, and above all, the chance to start my life over.
I hear many people who have recently moved -or want to move- to a different country complaining about not having enough people there to help them.
Well, when I came to the UK I had no one. Never complained. Never expected anyone else to help me. Dealt with my shit by myself. The first few months I was crying myself to sleep almost every night. I was in deep depression. However, not even once did I expect or guilt trip people into helping me.
Because when you choose to do something, you need to be prepared to fight on your own. It's your responsibility.
Moving to London made me stronger, expanded my horizons, made me more politically aware, inspired me to create a lot more art, and above all, pushed me to be a better person.
I'm not saying that London is perfect, on the contrary. And the past couple of years it has been getting harder and harder to afford living here.
Nevertheless, as long as I can afford to, I will keep exploring what London has to offer.
So, thank you London!
