we love her
read about her
buy her art
watch films about her
some travel
to visit the place
she once lived
Frida is a treasure
a role model
but
her choices
make us stop and think
she loved a man
who cheated on her constantly
her sister slept with him
everyone slept with him
gross and disgusting
as he was
apparently he had charisma
he hurt her time and time again
but she was addicted to him
and he "loved" her
with a love that gave her
nothing but pain
there was no trust
in reality
he loved only himself
a lot of Frida's independent nature
was triggered
from her need to fight back
she had affairs
and lovers
to show Diego he wasn't the only one
who could cheat
she forgave her sister
and blamed Diego
believing that no one
could refuse him
Frida was political
she hated American's rich
when there were in the US
Diego slept with the women
he met at openings
parties
anywhere
Frida was in constant pain
from her childhood accident
her life wasn't simply a struggle
it was a flat out fight
a war zone
she fought in this war
since childhood
not her mother's favorite
too much of her own person
for that
but her father adored her
and taught her many things
about photography
about art
she was a free spirit
but if her rat bastard
of a husband
had treated her fairly
she may have been a completely
different Frida
what we see is a wounded woman
seeking revenge
and trying to survive
in a world that never made sense
love is a difficult thing
powerful
dangerous
hateful
torturous
Diego loved Frida
but he loved himself so much more
he hurt her
broke her trust
not only for him
but for other women
who Frida always saw as a threat
wanting to sleep with her husband
he cared nothing for her feelings
in anyway that mattered
she left him
he returned
in the end
she let him in
again
she died
just as she had lived
in pain
her body
one of her worst enemies
but Diego was there
Frida's story
is a blueprint
for what many women
live through
the basic's are not
that unusual
the question
to be asked
is
how much is a person
willing to take
before they realize
the price
they are paying
by the way
the chicklets
love Frida
