In various different cultures and religions the topic of a
woman’s future is something that is very appalling and devastating to confront
or hear to. My age is 17 years, and I live in Australia meaning that I am
constantly reminded of how essential it is to be standing on my feet and to
make my stand in this rough world. Meanwhile in rural areas in India, a girl my
age is going through religious rituals meaning that she would be sitting in
front of a somewhat bonfire reciting wows for marriage. Being a foreign kid, my
mother never failed to tell me the reality of the struggles that many girls in
my age go through. She made me understand that bringing me awareness of such
situations they suffer is very necessary and it has made me understand that
building the strength of breaking such norms in closed societies around the
world is so vital.
Now it’s not all about early child marriages, it’s about the reiterated culture of brought up among-st many girls. Many girls in rural areas of
India, are told that their life purpose is to get married and that they should
learn to do domestic chores instead of going to school to get a proper
education. They are also taught to be completely dependent on their soon to be
husband on every stage of their life after marriage. Whilst watching such documentaries where the
lives of these girls unfold deeper, it makes me that much passionate to
practice the art of individuality.
What is the art of
individuality? To be honest many people have various different aspects of this
art. For me individuality means, knowing that many things in life are gained
with a high price and also the smallest things requires harsh movements and
fluctuations of the mind and your emotions. Most importantly mastering the idea
that no other entity is going to serve you with all of your necessities. I
often take many things for granted, for example winging about wanting to get a
new phone to my parents. When I get that phone given to this level of
subconscious dependency effect raises, and it’s not just that it’s the smallest
things like asking your mother to do make your bed. To get better at individuality it’s important
especially for girls to take matters in your hands at a sensibly young age. As
being a girl, we tend to get emotionally weaker very quickly, it’s time we keep
aside our emotions and learnt to put the load on ourselves. We as girls don’t
need anyone to take care of us, regardless of always being told that we do.
Girls, change starts from small steps next time you allow someone else to do
something for yourselves take into account the harsh things that are happening
to girls your age then must you understand the art of individuality.
