I've been taking Psychology this year, and as the year ends, I've been reflecting on some of the things we've learned about. If you're familiar with psychology terms, you'll know what a "critical period" is. For those of you who don't know, allow me to explain.
They say that "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery"... well, I beg to differ. I think, in some cases, it can be a HUGE INSULT.
I am a poet. I have been writing poetry since I was in ninth grade (2004, I believe... maybe. I think.) and it has always been a part of my soul. If you read my signature, you can see that I'm very passionate about poetry.
The awareness of cervical cancer and many other womanly problems have been on the rise lately. With this, many people have been getting various shots, like Gardasil, and trying new birth control methods like Yaz and Mirena. I wanted to write a blog parallel to this because it affects me personally, and I wanted to raise awareness.
Before I begin, may this be a warning to all: When I tell it like it is, I do just that. No fluff or fuss or sugar coating. This, in turn, may cause many people to be offended. Well, I guess I'm just going to have to find some way to live with that. So a bunch of people on a website are possibly going to be mad at me. Okay. That's just grand.
Believe it or not, girls... there ARE some guys out there who hold doors open for girls! They're out there: you just have to be lucky enough to stumble upon one! There really ARE gentlemen out there! It shocked and amazed me, but it's true!
Don't tell me it's not true. Don't tell me that you've NEVER had a single teacher that intimidated you and made you feel itty bitty. Don't tell me you've never had a bad teacher, resulting in bad grades for you. It happens to the best of us.
I'm not sure if there have been studies on this, or if there are statisctics to prove this or back me up on this. I'm just going from my experience.
It's inevitable that what you want to be when you "grow up" will most likely change as you go through the actual process of "growing up".
I just wanted to talk about my own personal "growing up" process and how my future career hopes have changed.
"Je rêve de toi."
"I dream about you."
Each dream seems real, and sometimes I wish it could be.
After all, in my dreams, you actually see me.
In my waking hours, I am invisible; just another listless body wandering the streets, going about my business.
