you expect the worst but hope for the best

life is difficult enough, it's like the hero's journey...always an obstacle, always a threshold to overcome.

things that annoy me massively...

-rainy weather that makes you smell like a dirty wet dog
-hangovers that wont go away
-my neighbours horrible mix cd that is constantly on repeat

the list could be endless...but anyhow, doing a really interesting module at the moment exploring the identity of women in popluar culture. i know it sounds lame but when i was writing my essay today i was thinking about the dynamic between men and women. in recent years, ive seen relationships blossom and end which is tragic to some extend. coming back to the identity question, how many women do actually change for their partner? how much do they give up of themselves? i remember those girls who would suddenly dress like their boyfriend, talk like their boyfriend, be 'into' the same things as their boyfriend. im not arguing that every single woman on this planet gives her own identity up to fit into a certain scheme...but a lot of women do. you dont really see man suddenly becoming this alter ego of their girlfriend? hardly. it kind of makes me sad when i see girls like this, proving its all for the boys. sure, we all started to listen to a certain band after someone else introduced us to them, but its about changing yourself to be like one of the boys. it seems quite like childish approach to a grown up relationship. maybe its me. this society has to change, drastically.

'Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at'
what a quote. so true though.
