This may come across as completely random to some, and way too sappy for others, but between reconnecting with friends IRL, the media (politics, UGH!) and minor online situations, I got an urging to post about this so there you have it.

I have been thinking a lot about how women (in general) sometimes seem to have a tendency to cut other women down. Venting is natural, as is being irritated at someone. But sometimes I feel like we as women, as a collective entity, take it to the point where it becomes destructive. Where it gets very personal and judgmental, and goes beyond passionate arguments and perspectives. And I feel this way because I have been the woman that cuts other women down before. I think perhaps we have all been there before, and I most certainly don't think that makes me, or anyone else a bad person for having been there. I mention this because between stressing about trying to get pregnant, buying a house and saving money, I have come to an epiphany. My realization is that life is way too short and far too amazing, beautiful and completely awesome to engage in anything that doesn't promote unity. As women, we put up with the most insane crap from men, yet in society we sometimes don't show that same level of understanding to our fellow women. Imagine what we could do bound together in unity! Women are amazing. We are awesome, powerful beings. Just looking at all of our new babies here proves that. And reading the stories about women holding down the fort while their men are at war, or pulling their family through hard times through sheer will and love, shows just how amazing we are! So I would just like to say, I hope all women across the globe can continue to pull together rather then divide eachother as best we can, myself included. You girls are really awesome, even the complainers, the bitter ones and the braggers out there <--and that was a joke since I have been the complainer, the bitter one and the bragger myself

Okay, that's all

I agree! Now that I'm years out of college and all grow'd up, it seems sad that I spend a lot of time quibbling and ranting about dorm politics. What a waste!
