It is hard not to be redundent on how I feel, because I share so many fears, anxieties, questions and even excitement that all of my fellow classmates have shared so far. The vagina seems to be such a social taboo. I often catch myself referring to it as "down there." I dont know why I do, but I guess thats how I was raised and so many people shy away from conversations when the word vagina is talked about so openly. I kinda get upset listening to all of the negative topics constantly brought up and wonder when all of the positive movements and breakthroughs are going to come about. We keep talking about how this needs to be changed and how that, but never, is anything done about it. There are so many problems with how society runs its everyday course. We constantly need to make exceptions for people. I have to admit, that we honestly cannot accomodate everyones own individual needs. It is just unrealistic. If we do this to make someone happy, the next person will have wanted it the old way. Its just something that we need to try our hardest, but have realistic expectations on what is possible for different scenarios. I dont consider myself overweight, or god knows, underweight, but I definetly feel for people who think that people are always judging what they do and what they eat. I know on dates with guys I dont eat what I want, because I dont want him to think that I am heavy. It sickens me, because I know I want to order the steak with all of the sides, when in actuality I order the salad with lite dressing of a kind I despise. I am slowly learning that I need to do everything for myself. I need to make myself happy and strong, before I can expect anyone else to. I wish everyone the best of luck on their own self exploration!!
