In which things begin to change...
I have just arrived back home from a divine trip to Disney World...the happiest place on earth. It's a magical place.
Anyway, I was enlightened and surprised while there to find that there were not very many Americans in the happiest place on earth. In fact, I saw a woman there...at DisneyWorld...in a Burka. Yes, friends, a Burka and I was so ENRAGED by it because the mummification of women in black fabric is not just a Religious gesture but a symbol of the unbelieveable oppression of women today. We are now living in the year 2009, and to think that some women are still forced to completely cover every inch of their body except for their eyes with black fabric because of some Religious extremist who apparently cannot control their sexual urges is atrocious and sickening to me. Because these women are completely void of any identity and completely cut off from society by their religion. If you read about Islam, and about the teachings of Muhammad, you will not find the teaching of oppression of women and treating others like cattle. I'm sickened that this is still happening in our world today and it makes me desire to go to these countries and educate them on women's rights. UGGGH! Angry.
Anyway, DIsney World was fun. My mom and I are completely awesome at getting things done, and we have Disney down to a science...haha. We rode all the rides we wanted to, ate all the food we wanted to, and had a blast.
I wonder sometimes what I ever did to the world to deserve what happens in my life. Like, seriously, why me? I wish that something could happen and fix everything, but the fact of the matter is that I have to fix it. I can't just sit around and whine and complain and expect for the world to come to me. I have to go to it and I have to buck up and realize that I've obviously made some bad decisions. Decisions which have hurt me alot but were learning experiences and I'm therefore grateful for them. I wish so much that I could have the things that I want, but I can't and I have to live with that because getting those things would be selfish and wrong. Anyway, I'd like for something good to happen to me, that's all.*end pity party whining*
