Happiness

What do we sacrifice on a day to day basis for happiness? Do most of us give things up because that is what is expected of us? I'd answer the latter with a yes. I think that a lot of us give up a lot of things just so others are happy. I know I am guilty of this. I want others to be happy so much that I often do what others want me to do and not what I want to do.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and its been helping me make some hard decisions. Now, I don't want to hurt anyone, but I'm starting to do what I want to do. I'm doing what I have to do.

Cause, I just want to be happy.

Barbies are the devil?

Okay, are Barbies THAT bad? I mean, yeah, they are an unreal ideal for young girls, but are they THAT bad. I was having a debate with my mother over this after dinner. She thinks they are bad (now, after my sister and I are all grown, and had grown with them, mind you). She thinks young girls shouldn't play with them and they lead girls to grow with problems. To that I retorted that yes, I have problems (I won't pretend I don't) but none of them are to do with my playing with Barbies growing up. In fact I'd go as far as saying that Barbies are a good creative outlet for young women. I'm a writer, and I came up some amazing stories through my days (and nights) playing with Barbies.I loved my Barbies. I played with them all the time, and I had a lot of them. I loved Dolls but they were never as important to me as my Barbies.

So how is Barbie really that bad. My image problems never steamed from my Barbies as my Mother would have believe. I'd say that in all actuality society is to blame for that. Barbie has had many good jobs, she's never really needed a man (though Ken has been there). She's raised countless sisters (with no parents to boot, which come on is a mircale in and of itself). She is made of different races (or at the very least has friends that are, though in that case they really should make her in other races...do they? I'm confused now...) she helps people, has good manners, and they have yet to make teen pregnancy Barbie (though they did have a pregnant Barbie of somekind in the eighties). Barbie brings fun to girls and boys all over the world. Sure she is gorgeous, but can we call her the devil just because she's beautiful?

I think that we need to stop fighting everything and see somethings for what they are: fun!
