Tanya Nikonova on women's rights to liberties
One of the most funny memories of spring - from a trip to the States. I walk with two giant paper bags from an immodest store, and here they are torn: things and rags scatter along the deserted Santa Monica Boulevard - in short, the nightmare has come true. Call a taxi and quickly capitulate from the place of Epic Feil - not for us: I didn’t even bother with the local sim card. I stand in confusion: the dust, the sun spur, not a soul around. I was rescued by a cheerful grandfather on a pretty double BMW and with an excellent set of false teeth, who drove off somewhere behind a pair of cardboard bags, and turning red panties with a fringe in his hands, summed up: "Your guy is lucky, but maybe he will buy you car? " I blew it all up for a party, you know, just parties.
Why make excuses? It seems to be, what's the difference what an unfamiliar uncle will think? Does the two shelves of a sex shop in their hands automatically mean that you are an indecent girl, even if you are wearing a knee-deep sweater? What are you ready for anything (for the sake of something, of course, not just like that)? Other options do not appear if the packages are stuffed with rubber toys. This is generally a big problem - the constant need to choose from the clichés given to you. As if you are taking a test for the exam on a daily basis, knowing exactly that there is no right answer. In this case, it is still necessary to pass - and an attempt to think how its author is driving crazy.
For example, it is still believed that a man slinging parts of his body into someone is a hero and a good fellow. A woman with the same approach is characterized by extremely unprintable words. At the same time, we are required to be beautiful and desirable (otherwise we are losers), for some reason, it’s just immoral to enjoy our success. But this is not fair. In the best comedy in the world about the Russian intelligentsia, Love and Death, Sonya, with the intelligent appearance of a Jean-Jacques visitor, says: “To love is to suffer. to suffer and not to love means to suffer. To be happy is to love. Therefore, to be happy is to suffer. " Yes interrupt.
After all, isn't this why we live - to explore the world and our own capabilities?
Supporters of modest beauties have an iron, in their opinion, counterargument: be happy and not suffering as much as you like, but why not do it with a regular partner. Yes, a loved one is able to give a lot of pleasure, but you still have to find him! And here we try and put a tick: Nikanor Ivanovich's lips, Ivan Kuzmich's nose, but Balthazar Baltazarych, even if not shown. Sometimes the check marks look like stars on the fuselage, sometimes with bruises, sometimes scars that remind of themselves over the years. You do not always encounter those who will take care of you, but more than once you find those who go on adventures with you. Many people complain about the mistakes of youth, but only those who have lain in youth in a coma do not commit idiotic acts until they find the limits acceptable for themselves.
Finally, Is this why we live - to explore the world and our own abilities, regardless of bruises and scratches? Is there any sense to get to the grave with a body and soul that hasn't been washed? Then for starters, quit eating chocolate or something. Your scars are steeper than photographs and diaries, they fade with time, but always with you, and you can read more than one story from them. Piercing marks, scars and burns, wrinkles and freckles, titanium screws and stretched ligaments tell their story. This is a story of blunders and experiences, unfamiliar feelings, strange emotions, but never - regrets.
