How to #65 be a woman

I have not blogged in a very long time. I’ve logged on, and stared at the blog and felt like iv neglected it, but I honestly have not had anything good to add, Until now. Actually, I haven’t been anywhere that I could add anything even if I wanted to. 2 months holiday on the farm and traveling between family and friends does not really allow for academic thought let alone internet connections.

I will, for the sake of it, bring my personal developments and steps closer to becoming a writer and even my thoughts on that up to date later.

First, My English 318 elective for this semester… what a train smash so far, Actually, English 318 as a whole so far. We handled 7 lectures about the romantic poets, presented by a lecturer who is truly talented at droning.  We could choose electives, and will be able to again in the second semester, but the only two electives that could fit into my timetable were something about animal blah blah stuff poetry, and ‘woman’s poetry of the body’ and I figured that wouldn’t be too difficult as I am I woman and all…. Once a week I am stuck in a room for 2 hours between about 20 women debating FOR FEMINISM…. O my hat!!

Ok, my view… if you want to be treated like a man, you cannot act like a woman. You cannot react to feminism like a whiney, needy woman if you don’t want to be called a whiney needy woman…  get it? On this one website that I usually browse through on my phone for a laugh: www.dearblankpleaseblank.com, one girl said:

Dear Lady who told me that my making my boyfriend a sandwich just sent the feminist movement back to the 50's,

In return he opens my doors, pulls out my chairs, pays for my food, movie tickets AND gas, surrenders his coat when I'm cold, cuddles, buys me presents, and acts as a personal body guard whenever we're together.

Sincerely, I feel like I'm ok with that

(had to go through 13 webpages to find that… I nearly closed at page 12… yay me! :)

Get the general idea? I’m not saying that women should not be ambitious and hardworking and so on, I’m saying if you don’t have a natural knack for caring for those you’ve chosen to love, and you want to go in a different direction, don’t ask for a punch in a man’s world if you can’t take it and end up crying in public diminishing the strength of woman’s nature as well…

How to #63 : be a compulsive liar

Tell people what they want to hear.When your heart has one opinion and your mind has another, but you are very aware of what is expected of you to be said. Say it, and you will be called a liar. Tell them what they want to hear and they wont like it. What do we do then? Tell them what we are thinking and hurt them? i was called a compulsive liar once. It haunts me to this day, and i'v decided that i am guilty of it. And i annalyse to much and i try to hard and and and tragic right?

When your head and are are screaming in bold red, but your being heard in light blue italics, youll find that you cry yourself to sleep, hugging yourself.

But who will read it? Because you once told someone not to, or did you?

How to #60 : regret

i used to pride myself think that i have no regrets, that mistakes are made to be learnt from. But the fact remains, there some mistakes that could have been avoided or just carried out differently, and the way to rig your regrets is through faith, but that is another topic altogether.

The one thing that each and everyone can regret is the moments when you comprimise who you are for 'the benifit' of others. Dont come with that story of 'i dont know who i am, or what i want...' You know who you are, and you know exactly what it is that you wanted to do or say, but why the hell didnt you? Ten to one other person involved or just you would have appreciated your own honesty so much more! Admit it? Be real. To yourself and others.

Hurt is inevitable, and by being who you know you are, you will, with time sieve out the people in your life and find the ones who will end up being the main characters in your own little life story.

and just for the record... stop trying so hard to be great, just be. Greatness will come
