Of Pride and Memory (Galactic Women’s Day Special)
08 Mar 2021Meowers
Here we are. At the stars. We visit places that nobody had ever seen. We fight battles that words cannot describe. We unveil mysteries of the Galaxy, we establish trading routes, we lead and we follow. Our ships are hundreds of tonnes of steel and yet they travel thousands times faster than light.
We survived through desperate ancient times, emerged from 19th century riots, first attempts to rebuild the society in the 20th, controversies of the 21st and much, much more. And here we are now, blazing our trails, shaping our lives, leaving our marks in history. We have our faces, our own ways, our will, our dignity, our voices to speak and our power to act. And no one can take them away from us, never again.
And this one particular day is certainly a mark in history of humanity. Our mark. Left a very long time ago by those who were the first, those who started from nothing and fought for what we have now. Yet still our fight isn't over, with fallacy and disunity being the common enemy.
It's 3307. You are free now, free to see the stars and roam the void, free to choose your own path and follow it, free to make decisions and bear the responsibility, free to bask in the glory of your victories, claim your discoveries, boast your own achievements and possessions. This is life how it was meant to be. At last. But this day is still one to remember, an invaluable message from the old past.
That we, women, are unbeatable together.
