Coming Full Circle

I'm not one to believe in destiny or chance; not even luck. The world merely turns, completing one full rotation which we call "a day"; each day's happenings, well, are just that. But, there are some exceptions I cannot explain. Like yesterday, when I was thinking, "What will my last blog post be?", and decided to scroll through my FaceBook feed (as any distracted teenager would do). What I came across could not more perfectly capture the essence of my project. Let me show you.

I read this post and my first thought was, "Wow, what a heck of a coincidence." This perception of feminism held by those guys is what my magazine, from day one, has striven to counteract. But then, it dawned on me. My magazine is only aiding me in passing a class. It only resides here; nobody is reading it other than my instructor and Cambridge. This makes me quite sad. So, I've been inspired to create a new blog for my own personal observations, arguments, and advocacy; a blog I can share with the world without worrying about whether I AICEd a test or not. (I'm sorry, but I had to.) I've also been inspired to apply to be a writer for the Odyssey Online, a venue for young voices to be discovered and expressed. Before this project, I was completely apprehensive toward being bold and making a statement. This project has freed me from my irrational insecurities.

Before I let you go, I've compiled a list of last minute key takeaways:

• Equality is good
• Equality is NECESSARY
• Equality is LONG OVERDUE
• You can make a difference
• I believe in you
• Did I mention equality? Because yeah, it's important
• Not everything is temporary. Okay, yes, the world will one day explode and all this civilization we've instituted along with all the life underneath will one day amount to absolutely nothing. But in real time, my voice reaches another, and then another, and then another. It doesn't stop, unless you let it. Don't let it stop. Let it go. 

Sappy conclusions aside, I sincerely hope that this project speaks to you, and inspires you to speak, too. Here's a pic of me with the feminine emblem woo! I can't wait for everyone to see my final product. Over n' out!!
