Gender Inequality
Aren't you tired? Aren't you just exhausted of being discriminated and looked down upon because you are a woman? It doesn't make sense to me how some people think that women are weak, useless, and good-for-nothing while men are acknowledged as strong, brilliant, and valuable.
One time, a friend of mines snapped at me because I cursed, and he was saying that it's not good for others to hear. Yes, he is right, cursing isn't something that I wanna keep as a habit, but because I was such a stubborn and obnoxious girl, I defended myself by saying, "You guys curse all the time. Why can't I?" Then, he said that it's okay for guys to curse but not girls. At that point, I was confused, speechless, and mad at the same time. Why? What? How? Since when?
I am not talking physical here, but yes, you guys might be stronger and have bigger figures than us. However, that doesn't mean that we are less knowledgeable or cannot have the same rights as men, right?
I have to say, gender inequality is men's issues too. I just watched Emma Watson's speech for the UN, and I agree with everything she had to say. She really is a role model, and I adore her for her bravery and intelligence to stand up for what is right. Here are a couple of quotes from her that I really love:
"Men don't have the benefits of equality either. We don't often talk about men being in prison by gender stereotype, but I can see that they are... If men don't have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won't feel compelled to be submissive. If men don't have to control, women won't have to be controlled. Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong."
"I want men to take up this mental so that their daughters, sisters, and mothers can be free from prejudice. But also, so that their sons have permissions to be vulnerable and human too."
-Emma Watson

A Letter to Myself
It isn't about changing, it's about living. No matter how much you want to change to be a better version of yourself, if that's not the way you want to live then what's the purpose? You know what's the most important part about a new beginning? You can start over, forget the past, look forward for the opportunities that are about to come your way, use them, and don't take advantage of them the way you did in the past years.
It's okay to make mistakes, don't call yourself a failure because mistakes are the best things that can happen to your life. You learn from them, you experienced them, and now you know what to do when the same problems come around.
And please, be grateful for every single thing you have in your life right now, like those fluffy socks you get to wear before you go to sleep, and that small but cute room you get to live in. The simplest things count. Some people might not even have a pair of socks or a room, just don't take anything for granted. You are blessed and you should be thankful.
It's okay to be moody, but it's NOT okay to be moody every single day. Negative aura is never good for your life. It's such an awful way to start your day. You're supposed to be excited and determined every time you wake up in the morning. Change the world. Be creative. Use your talents. I don't believe you don't have any talent because without you even realizing it, everyone is talented. You just have to get to know yourself more!
Be yourself :)
Don't try to please this society because it is insatiable. You can never fulfill its criteria of perfection. But guess what? No one is perfect, your imperfections are the things that make you unique! Stop worrying about what others think because they don't know what you actually go through, they don't understand your pain, your hard work, your struggle, your life. They are nobody. And you, you need to think about yourself more than you think about what others think of you!
Put a lot of efforts into everything you do. Some people are smart because they are smart,some are considered smart because they are diligent and hard working. However, it's better to be smart and hard working at the same time, right? Imagine the outcome you'll get. You will be unstoppable. So, don't belittle every assignments or work you need to do, no matter how small they are. Do your best!
But overall, the past is the past, you should focus on what's about to come <3
