Girls Are Not Burdened Lone Wolves, There Are Others In The Same Situation

"I guess I was just trying to lean into the feminist side, the one that just doesn't exist anymore after 2017."

Girls Are Not Burdened Lone Wolves, There Are Others In The Same Situation

There is so much pressure nowadays to find a group to stick to depending on your interests and shared feelings. We girls think that we always feel lonely and this obviously makes us stronger, but wait a minute here: Have we ever thought how other people with various genders, shapes, sizes, and ages all survive this idiosyncratic feeling we take as a burden?

We as humans need to feel accepted by others. I mean, I think its impossible for anyone to live in isolation forever. Human beings are actually social creatures who are fueled by the presence of others and in order to achieve that sense of belonging, they have to be in the presence of groups.

Groups have the power to keep us united within a pack and feel content under the presence of others. However, I just find this whole process overwhelming. Why do we always think of women sharing the sorrows of their girlfriends excluding them?

What happened to the old people rotting in old homes and young boys trying to make their way through manhood?

Women should think about others once in a while and maybe put themselves in their shoes. For example, we all know how important it is for older people in elder homes to accept the trust of others so they can spend the rest of their lives feeling peaceful and content. They actually need the support of others who have been through similar lives like them and the same struggles they went through.

If we ever see an elder person sitting on a bench, we should always ask them about their lives and who they feel close to, so they can feel accepted in return.

As for young men, they do not need to interact with peers who can be dangerous to their growth as human beings. However, guys should not be just kept aside because they are strong enough to handle their emotions. They are human beings with feelings as well.

Sometimes, women feel they are the only ones going through this isolating feeling, but reaching out to others in the same situation can definitely help.

One thing is clear, though: You don't need to find similarities with others to feel some kind of connection. Instead of being hypocritical of the situation, we need to realize that other people go through the same issues as us. As women, we need to accept our situation and take steps to solving it instead of blowing it up.

Realistically, women do get super emotional at times, but other kinds of people of all ages and genders feel very similar. Maybe we should think about them before we complain, you know?

Disclaimer: I'm not blaming women for anything. But, I still feel that we should consider the situations of others too.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
