We gravitate towards the source of illumination.

We like to see what is around us.

It is a survival instinct.

Light brings goodness.

We strive for the illumination to come upon us.

Wisdom is not always brought by pain.

You live in this society

For protection.

You are gathered around others

who do what is needed to survive.

You give back to your country

but remember

what you give to your country

is the trust that they will protect you.

The rules they decide on

should not make you live in fear.

That is the sign of a bad government.

There will always some who can not live by the rules.

Some rules are unjust.

Change needs to happen

and sometimes when your country fails you

you need to speak out.

Especially when the unjust laws are put into place.

Fight and be heard.

Someday your children

(biological or societial) will thank you.

I have three friends.

I value very highly.

I cannot claim anyone of them as my best friend.

One gives me blunt advice.

Another a shoulder to cry on.

The third one helps to inspire me.

All of them support me.

They all love me.

I do not have a best friend.

I have three.

For the women who can’t choose.

When someone takes it away.

Those who watch sympathize with your situation.

Fear is a horrible weapon to be used against you.

I hope someday I can do more than just pity you.

I have a good memory.

I swear.

Just sometimes I forget where that important document is

(because I haven’t needed it for a while)

or can’t remember the next task I needed to do.

Lists and calendars are very important these days.

Without them

I probably wouldn’t get anything done.

Unless it is to tell you about some silly trivia tidbit

that has nothing to do with the situation at hand.

Our bodies need to rest.

We need the time to heal.

Yet, many of us push ourselves

and ignore the signs of lack of sleep.

Whether for work or personal reasons

We need to relearn how to sleep.

What laws are just?

Who gets to decide?

Where does society fit in?

Why are we hanging on to outrageous laws?

Sentencing a person based on criteria

that was never relevant

is what get us into trouble now.

We sometimes are spicy.

We are not always nice.

We are made individually.

No one can tell us to be sweet

If we do not wish to be.

We are the little girls

who are girls.

Not sugar and spice

or everything nice.
