I'm a small person full of ambitions!

I'm twenty-six, deeply in love, ready for a new life, and start something, something real like work on getting Ph.D. 

In my society, it seems like a prescriptive medicine for every girl, what they tell me every day is,  "Be a normal woman", "Do this, do not do that." "Do not spoil this, too," "live like how every other girl is living, "get married" but what girls exactly? Those who has been married since 16 and now has children who attend different classes in one school? Who wakes up every morning to plan a meal that will fill the lunch table?  I mean, this is not something ugly, but it is too boring, and it's like moving from place to place as a ghost does. 

Does being ordinary means to allow boredom to sneak into our dreams? To not have ambitions beyond getting married? To give the left side of our brain?!

I know girls who work with international institutions, travel constantly, discuss politics, women's issues, attend doctorates, work in construction sites as if they were not born to a society that favors women who care for their nails from breakage. And I wonder why don't they see the girls I see, those who care more about the next level of education they'll achieve, the next book they'll read, those who wake up full of passion for changing the world.  Why do they only see those who disappear behind the walls of a husband's houses, and refuse to see those who wake up before  the sunrise to do something more than just being "ordinary girls."

I mean, I want to be twenty-sixth, and in love, and ready for a new life, ready for serious work that I'm passionate about, for a new university degree, for a specialty that takes me beyond the limits of what I have learned, I want to do all this without feeling that I must I give up some parts of me, to be "normal."

And for now, I'll keep reminding myself every morning to shoot for the stars.
