Pretty Pretty Princess

One of my favorite games when I was a kid was Pretty Pretty Princess. I think it had a lot to do with the crown. I always wanted to be a princess, but now I wonder why? Princesses are not free to make their own decisions, they don't really have a say in their lives. I have complete control over my life and I love it. Imagine if you had several people telling you what you were going to do, who you are going to marry, what job you are going to have......if you even have one, what clothes you are going to wear, and where to go on your social outings. I love my life because it's free. I can wear what I want, say what I want, and be who I want to be. I like that I'm weird and laugh really hard at things that aren't that funny. I love that I'm passionate about changing the world. I think we can do it. I actually think there may come a day when everyone, no matter what their gender, sexual orientation, class, race, and disability/ability is, we will all be given an equal chance to be successful in life. I know I think big! How can I not? It's the big thinkers that make changes and make things happen. MLK Jr. was a big dreamer, FDR was a "think outside the box kind of man", and I am someone who can change the world for the better!
