Its been warmin’ up the past few days and I can only hope it lasts. I took advantage of the nice weather with a jog in Delaware Park the past two days. There’s just something about being able to be back outside that feels awesome.
Besides the increase in temperature there has been an increase in stress as well.With the last weeks of school ahead there’s alot to get done. Papers, projects, articles, not to mention the stuff at home thats going on. I just gotta keep on keepin’ on till its finally over.
In my psychology class we’re required to read two books on which we do a report relating to a disorder or theory. I just finished my second book, The Last Time I Wore a Dress. It details the hospitalization of a young girl who has Gender Identity Disorder. She is placed in a mental hospital just because she refuses to act “normal” in the eyes of her physicians and the rest of society. It is rediculous that just because she did not adhere to society’s standards she was locked up for more than three years of her life. Whose business is it how someone chooses to live their life? I mean, this girl wasn’t hurting anyone yet she was locked up because she didin’t fit the girly-girl mold society set out for her.
So the next time you see someone different, don’t make fun of them. If you dont have anything good to say…leave them alone.

Peace
