Hello, Saturday evening.
This past week was quite interesting. I got to be with long lost friends.
Friday the 13th went well for me too. Contrary to popular belief, it isn't an unlucky day. Your luck is as potent (or useless) as it is on any other day.
I've been thinking about marriage. I have resigned myself to live the remainder of my life by myself. I do not pray nor expect to find a person that will make me feel as if I am complete. After all, I am, in myself, enough. I may even be too much. Why is that most women think it imperative to get married and have children straightaway? Is that the only thing we have to look forward to? It's going to be a sad day for all women everywhere when they themselves embracing and encouraging the stereotypes that we've been fighting so long to abolish. It's like all the world's in a major state of regress. What with all the supposed progress we've had, things still seem to be so backward, so traditionally, well, WRONG. I've never been your typical girl. I take pride in the fact that I do not need a man to bring happiness to my life because I am quite certain that I am very much capable of finding it for myself. In fact, I can create it for myself. I have my opinions and interests that stem from being proud of being a strong woman (too strong, perhaps?). However, this wretched human condition that we, male and female, are subjected to is putting a damper on my obduracy. You see, we were made to be social beings, and for this, I am resentful. I am genetically predisposed to look for affection and interaction, always needing somebody else to fulfill some ridiculous, deep-seated desire to...participate? There's a flaw in logic which says that more is not always better. In fact, there are a lot of circumstances where more almost always leads to detriment. Mob mentality - that could be a perfect example. We lose the person we've taken so long to create, putting all our efforts to mold our characters to waste just because it's given to us by default. Evolution had a few bugs in its system that we need to correct. Why is the need to be alone always thought of as unpleasant? Since when did we dictate that we must always be in a state of want? Who said that this had to be the norm?
Ah, well. I am only one person. But you know what? Maybe that's all it takes - one person to change the nature we've punished ourselves with. Look ahead and above. We're capable of so much more.
