Dear women and men everywhere,

Hi it's me, Feminism. It has come to my attention that many of you fear labeling yourself as a "feminist." I get the feeling that many of you do not really get me. You think you know me, but you just don't. I wanted to write to you to tell you who I really am and what it means to accept me into your lives, which I think you all should.

Many people think that I am a lonely and insecure girl who takes all her anger out on men because none of them want me. That's not true. I do not hate men; in fact I want them all to be happy and live equally among women. If women gain equality that does not take anything away from men. I do not want all men to perish because I need them to help me live on. All I want is for women to be able to live under the same unwritten laws as men can.

Some of you think my cause does not matter. You think that I want to obtain a goal that does not need to be obtained. Some of you actually believe that women and men are already equal. That just isn't true. Sure I have accomplished many things in my life, but I do not think I will ever be finished fighting. I want to maintain equality between men and women forever, therefore I will never stop trying to get people to like me.

It hurts my feelings when women do not want anything to do with me. They think that men will judge them for hanging around me. However, if everyone can understand what I really am about, then there would be no judgement to fear. I want women to live peacefully among men and I want men to live peacefully among women. I do not think women should have more opportunities than men, I just think they should have as much as men do. I just can't understand why I am not appealing to some women because I just want whats best for them after all.

You do not have to be a woman to support me. Men can support me too. We cannot live in a just society if our brothers and sisters do not stand for one another. Supporting me is like supporting your mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt, girlfriend, wife, niece etc. I want to make this world better, but I can't do it alone. I need people to work with me and for me regardless of their gender.

Now that I have explained my cause and who I am, can you all consider supporting me? I promise I am not out to get anyone. I just want everyone to be happy and equal together! We can live in perfect harmony if you all chose to welcome me into your lives. I promise you will not regret being my friend.

Yours truly,

Feminism

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
