Independent Girls


How does getting a job sound? How does living alone sound? How does "Independence" Sound? Are you a girl wanting to get around and be part of the world? Many girls feel that way, wishing away their younger years before they start. Independence means a lot in a world where some people cherish it, because they have strict rules, enforced by their governments. I'm talking about frredom, but independence means freedom, doesn't it? Wouldn't it be just brilliant to be able to do what you want? Are you sick of being a girl, not able to do much or change people's minds? Are you already to graduate and get on with your career?

Some people are happy with their lives. Some people are living in the future, waiting for their time of freedom. It's sad, that children aren't able to make much of a difference to people's lives, because we have good ideas, and plans. Becoming an adult means that you can help to change things and express your opinion easily. But there are other things about the future that are exciting. Being able to plan out your own wishes and doing what you want. Making money, getting a job. Lots of teenagers would think that sounds scary, unpredictable, but that's the excitement of it all. If getting older means getting married, having children, cooking and cleaning and working to buy food and keep a home, then finally dying is what you are looking forward to in life, then nobody can blame you for being scared.

Those who have ideas and hopes, are ready to experience things that they have been waiting for. Many want to get an exciting career, travel the world or being activated in helping out, and changing the things that are ruining our peace and health.

Nobody should call you selfish for deciding against "family life" and caring for yourself instead. Motherhood isn't the only possibilty, there are others. Don't you want to do something with your life? This is the new ages, a women's place is the world, not the kitchen. Women everywhere are making the world their's and taking these extroadinary chances we have. Many women live as if every day is the last. Taking every opportunity in their grasp and trying it. You can't resist your dreams because you are frightened. Fright is an experience that you can overcome. If you hold back, you might regret it. Nobody can live your life for you, and you have to decide your own fate.

The future and becoming an independent adult is an exciting new possibilty. Independence is so sacred. Can you imagine having someone tell you what to do? Someone who's order you had to obey? Can you resist the temptation of it?
