Me, Myself, and Women

July 4th, 2015

     This is my first blog entry on this blog. I have to say that I am kind of nervous that the only people that are going to read this blog are either my friends, that I told, or my family who helped me make this blog. I know that a couple people is better than none. No people would definitely raise my self esteem (she said sarcastically). I am very excited to have somewhere to release my thoughts that isn't physically painful. Writing. To be honest I've always had a soft spot for the actual, physical writing with a pen and paper. But... Being part of this generation, well... Let's just say I have a VERY LARGE soft spot for typing and using my computer. Having blog is kind of a mix of the two which is exactly what I need. 

     My blog's format (at least this topic: ME) will be verbal vomit. Some of the other topics will be more factual and (to some people) more interesting. This part is mostly for me and to help me work through my problems and 'sturf'. I would love this part to help a lot of people, though. For example, maybe someone will be going through the same kind of stuff I'm going through and the way I handle it could help give someone an idea on how to handle what they're going through. And feel free to email me (frannykat@gmail.com) if you need any advice about anything or if you just need someone to talk to. I'd love to help!!  Kind of like an advice column...

My Thoughts on Today:

     Today I realized that I don't exactly know how to take a compliment from somebody. I just end up smiling awkwardly and saying "Thank you?..." In this weird way that makes it sound like I don't know if I'm appreciative. I am don't get me wrong (unless it's a insult ended with a compliment or vice-versa). I think because we are our hardest critic, we don't exactly feel like we should take the compliment. I'm saying "we", but maybe you don't have any problem taking a compliment. Also, I think it might be something that comes with age. Like the older we get and the more we start to except our selves, we start to feel like the compliments we get are more valid. Specifically being a woman in our society. We are probably the most judged group of people (of the 3 gender groups). Especially by other woman. And that definitely effects how we are seen in the community as a group. And as a result, woman in the media and on T.V aren't seen for more than their looks and body type. But... We are starting to be seen more as people and not as just cooks and maids. Progress!!!
