About

rather than letting others define you based on your gender and what you should be doing to live up to that stereotype, mix it up. be who you are, no matter who that is, no matter how you have to express yourself. just be. who are you? you can be anyone. rather being defined, just define yourself. can you be vague? just try. just live.

so here's whats up

while our society does offer many opportunities for children to grow up and be whoever they want to be, live however they want to live, and think however they want to think, the children of today are still distressed by the gender stereotypes that we have fitted to our culture. both girls and boys need to learn that as they grow up, they should to be free to express their emotions and opinions in any healthy way, no matter what sex their way of expression suits. gender stereotypes are stealing opportunities away from our youth to go in whatever direction they choose, simply because they are being told that they have to live up to certain expectations as boys or girls. we can find a solution to this issue. as today's kids and teens develop, we need to teach them that they have the ability to express themselves however they want to--whether it be through playing with trucks, dolls, or both. Whether it be liking the color pink, the color green, or the entire rainbow. Whether it be crying when frustrated, or getting angry. our children should not be limited in modes of expression simply because of their sex. by teaching the children of today that they can express themselves in any healthy way they choose, we are opening an entire avenue of ideas for girls and boys to explore that they might not have considered before. through this, we can ensure that the adults of tomorrow will be diverse, independent, real, and content in their true selves.

“ So fail. Be bad at things. Be embarrassed. Be afraid. Be vulnerable. Go out on a limb or two or twelve. You will fall, and it will hurt. But the farther you fall, the higher you will rise. The higher you rise, the clearer your future becomes. Failure is a gift, welcome it. There are people who spend their whole lives wondering how they became the people they became, how certain chances pass them by, why they didn’t take the roads less traveled. Those people aren’t you. You have front row seats to your own transformation and in transforming yourself, you might transform the world. It will be electric, and I promise it will be terrifying. Embrace that; embrace the new person you’re becoming. This is your moment. I promise you, it is now, not two minutes from now, not tomorrow, but really now. Own that, know that deep in your bones, go to sleep every night knowing that, wake up every morning remembering that, and keep going.
