The wrong priorities
Society puts so much value in people having a good, safe job and earning money that going another way is being frowned upon. It is interesting how it already starts in school and how it is what our parents taught us. Find a good job, stay there as long as you can, earn good money…

My definition of feminism
I have always called myself a feminist, well for as long as I’ve known what a feminist is supposed to be. The majority of people would disagree with me on that. And here’s why: I believe that with equal rights comes equal responsibility. If women want the same benefits as men, they also need to…

It takes two to create a child
If a man forces a woman to get an abortion against her will, he is a monster. I doubt anyone denies that. If a woman gets an abortion against a man’s will “it’s her body, her choice” and he has no say in it. She’s looked at as a strong independent woman, not a monster.…

Personal responsibility and accountability
I swear I’m so done with people not being held accountable for their actions and the victimhood mentality. Not using your brain doesn’t mean it’s other people’s fault. If you jump of a pier head first into water that is only about one meter deep it is not the city’s fault for not having a…

There is change in the air
The last couple of years have been very interesting. On one side things have gotten extremely bad on so many different levels and at the same time, slowly but surely the world begins to make sense again. At least it does for me. It’s almost as if the world has shifted into such an extreme…

Quality not quantity
So many people are on the belief the more friends you have the better. I never found that to be true. I never had a lot of friends but had friends that had boat loads full, most of whom they chose over me any time of the day until they had a problem, when they…
