Make it count
so i just watched the vid that his guy did
he took al the budgetting and instead shot and edited the vid of he and his fren travellign around the world in 10 dyas doing crazy things
it was pretty good coz it got interspersed wihtreat qoutes fr diff ppl
and it was matched up of ocz with the stuf htey did like runnign across the desert, cliff jumping etc etc
and one of the qoute that stuck in my head was
"Do one thing every day that scares you" - Eleanor Roosevelt
and i wonder have i done anythin that really scares me?
doesn't always have to be adrenalne fueled physical activites
but going for something that i'm afraid off
THOUGHTS FOR MY DEPRIVED BRAIN

Nujood
I just read this article in reader's digest
about a 10 yr old girl in Yemen who was married off to this 30 yr old guy
Her family was also poor, so to marry her off was actually something htat happened regularly
And supposedly, the husband siad that he wouldn't have intercourse with her til she was older
and surprise surprise, he raped her every night
her life was a living nightmare, where she was forced to be a maid by the mother in law, then at night a whole other sort of abuse began.
she actually ran away and found the courthouse and got a judge to listen to her story.
while in the end, she got granted divorce from the courts, i cna't help but feel horrified
at he end of the article it states that the Yemeni parliament passed a law raising the legal age of consent from 15 to 17, it was overturned the nxt day by conservative parties.
How sick is that???????????
they actually think its TRADITION to continue this child bride business
And of course, to get a divorce it'll bring shame on the whole family bla bla
Luckily for nojuud, i guess the humanitarian groups are probably making sure she's ok.
but doesn't it just show that so many other girls are out there who didn't knwo the existince of the courts or even are aware of a way out?
nojuud's family did't want to help her, her own mother believed it was a way of life of a woman to endure these kinds of sufferings.
garh, i hate it when i read about these stories. it's like girls are nothign but objects. if they get tired of one, lets just get another child bride!
i'm also feeling a deep sense of gratitude because i'm born in a more civilised area. where women's rights, while not equal to men, is pretty close to it.
What would happen if i were born lets say in a small rural area, like yemen or something. i wouldn't be typing on this laptop, i wouldn't be getting a degree, i wouldn't be procrastinating finishing my final year project report. I wouldn't even realize that there was another way of life besides having to blindly follow my father's whims
stupid sadistic male chauvinistic shits
