I've Got nothing to do today, but smile. (13/365)

Only Living Boy in New York - Simon and Garfunkel

"Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine". Have you ever heard anything so brilliant? I think it may be the prettiest thing i have heard, that you can still live by. This song it the best when i am riding my bike, the only down side is you can't sing along then. Bugs.


Anywho, when i was at Planned Parenthood volunteering yesterday this song kept on popping into my head. It was a hard day, lots of young girls, like 13 young, with their moms, boyfriend in jail for statutory rape, ‘cause guess what? he is over 18 and now she is pregnant. Mom wanted her to get rid of the baby, she wouldn't do it, so there was a fight. But she got to keep it. Please Pray, meditate, think about these babies having babies. I wish that this was all of the drama that we had yesterday but it wasn't. It truly can be heart breaking some days, and not just because of abortions, but because of the opportunities these women have missed out on, but even worse the opportunities they don't know about. I am being pushed toward Socialism more and more everyday. I think that sometimes though, if these women were able to let their own honesty shine, they would be able to live happier lives.

Please do not think i am judging, its quite the opposite. I am judging all the rest, the ones that just look down and don't take the time to learn the story the history, the struggle. Strife that i am pretty sure most of us have never faced before. I know that I haven't, I am the luckiest girl in the world, and that is a hard cross to bare. The guilt that comes from that is huge. It is days like this that i am just a certain amount of money away from being on a plane to Mozambique to help those who are helpless. But until then, I have nothing to do but smile, and try to give back.

There are exactly two organizations that have monthly access to a donation from my bank account. One is Planned Parenthood.

. . . And if you want to be free, be Free. Things I do, and think about.
