"Being a girl is so powerful that we've had to train every one not to be that." -Eve Ensler
I completely agree with that statement because I know that I have shoved my girl cells somewhere deep inside my body so they are hard to get to. Around your friends if you are crying, you are considered a wimp. If you are a boy and are very close with your inner girl, you are considered gay. It's no wonder we have been trained to push our inner girl away. We are judged so much based on how we act and if we use our inner girl, it is considered wrong. How can that be? I believe that your inner girl is one of the best parts about humans. If I see a guy crying, my respect for him increases because I know he's not afraid to show that he has a little girl inside of himself.
I think that a lot of our problems would go away if we all embraced our inner girl. If we would have put ourselves in the shoes of someone from another race, we wouldn't feel the same. Instead we would feel bad for that person and want to make their lives better by working towards getting rid of racism. Or if some parents stopped to think about how their children feel when they are getting beaten. If they had that pain inflicted on them, they would stop doing it to their children. If only the big door inside of us holding our girls cells flew wide open, the world would be a better place.
I LOVE BEING A GIRL! What could be better? I know that I can be emotional, but I'm okay with that. I like how I can tell what you are feeling. I love that as a girl in American I have endless possibilities. I love that when I am in touch with my feelings, they make me stronger. I love knowing that beating a boy at anything in life gives me a sense of pride, and losing to one doesn't affect me at all. I love that I can embrace life head on without having anything to hold me back. I love that I will learn from my mistakes and laugh about them later on. I love being a girl. Why try to hide your inner girl, when you can flaunt it?
