When you post on the wrong journal because you have multiple tabs open lol
Current Thoughts (Many Opinionated): Woman and men and everyone should be treated the same. Feminism is not about woman hating men. It is about equality between the sexes. People need to get that in their heads.
My school has a group called Fearless Females that teaches females about confidence and self-love and stuff like that and they take on projects and one of the projects that they received this past school year was to redecorate the girl's bathroom with quotes and rainbows and things like that. Men/boys got upset by it and so did some females, saying that it was stupid. I think that they were doing the right thing, trying to inspire female students and to stop the hate. However, I still think that there should be a male club too and that it should explain why the clubs are important, but also it should break the stereotype that men are not allowed to feel things. It should teach them that they are allowed to feel and that they don't have to beat each other up to have approval and feel self worth.
It doesn't matter what color your skin is for you to be racist. It really doesn't. You should NEVER use that to validate you not being a racist, even if you're not racist because you're trying to advocate equal treatment of all races. This past school year I saw two friends calling each other racist and making racist jokes and they'd also end up upsetting each other, but neither of them fixed the problem. They were of two different races and always making fun of the others opposite race, and I regret not saying anything to either of them, not that I probably would've changed their thoughts because they would've tried to throw the word feminist at me like it's an insult, which I'd seen them previously do to other people when they thought that nobody was listening.
Yesterday, actually this morning, I was crying over gun violence. It started because of a video of a singer on some award thing talking about it and how she was tired of moments of silence and wanted us to take moments of action. Crying is an action, but it's not a good enough action. It'll never be a good enough action. And then I began to think about what if my sister died, what would I do if she died, how I would I live, how would I move and I couldn't. I couldn't do it.
I want to be a motivational speaker, but how can I ever expect to inspire a world that's always tilting and turning with a mind that's always in reverse?
I've spent more time writing this post out than I have on my homework.
I was going to write out more but homework so maybe I'll care about my thoughts again in the future
I might be back on tonight or I might not
But I need to finish my project and I can't focus
And if I don't finish it I'm going to fail and my partners going to fail but I can't
I'm not in the right mindset and I seriously just want to break down and cry right now even though that won't help and I just don't know what to do
I only have three days left of school and I can't even finish them
I should be working on my project instead of here -_-
My partner totally messed up the slides though because they misinterpreted my meaning and I'm annoyed with myself because I didn't correct them and we're going to fail and I'm going to have to present tomorrow and I can't
I seriously don't know what I'm going to do
Heh I never responded to that one person who was talking good about me and I actually feel bad but I just remembered because they were talking about changing mindset or something like that
There are like two different Christian groups but no other religion
There isn't really any in this packet that super interest me tbh
I still kinda want to join one just to be a participant in life lol
Maybe the ASL Club since I'm taking ASL as a language next school year anyways
My only problem is I'm also taking two honor classes so would I have time for it?
I have to work out the situation of rides too because that's typically the main issue
There's also an academic club and it sounds kinda interesting but I seriously don't think I'm smart enough for it XD
There's also this Model UN Club and it's like debating and it helps to think about solving real world issues and it kinda looks interesting too
I love how I was like none of them look that interesting and now I'm like can I do fifty? XD
All I know is that I need to decide my entire future tonight because I'm in that mood
You're future is totally clear and completely foretold.
You're going to know exactly what you want and who you want to be.
