Over the past few weeks, I have been seriously considering what I would like to do with my life. My thoughts have been on traveling, teaching, helping people, and going back to school. I know that someday I want to get my Master's degree, but I have never known what suited me the best. Last night I was lying awake, because I was experiencing mild insomnia, and I started to think about beginning a non-for-profit organization for real girls of America. I thought I might call it the Real Girl Advocates of America, RGAA for short. I realized that there has been a consistent idea on my mind since I was a freshman in high school. That idea was women; I'd always thought how great it would be if we females finally realized our first priority, ourselves. I understand that mothers need to think of their kids, and doctors need to think of their patients, but I want to speak out, loudly, against what is happening to our emotions from influences in the media, from our peers, and even in our closets. I'm not saying that we shouldn't buy Gucci; I'm only saying that Gucci should feel more proud to be on us that we feel wearing it. I know I don't have a lot of followers, and I will probably change my mind about what I want to do with my life tomorrow, but tell me what you think anyway.
