The girl inside that I am

Story
When i was a little girl I was loved and was allowed to dream. I dreamed of a world where everyone had choices that they chose and for a world full of kindness. I was always asking why, why are women treated differently in society than men, it was, like they said, "a man's world" and women always had to fight for the things they wanted. I lived a life where i could make my own money, make my own choices, I had power over my body and with the invention of birth control i was able to not get pregnant. I lived my dreams, made my choices and lived with them. I saw many of my sisters fall into lives of oppression and I never once forgot about them, my sisters who did not have the choices that I had. Keeping young girls safe and given the opportunities that I had is what i wish for in this world. Whenever I see one of my sisters being hurt by inequality or being controlled by other people, my heart aches. To have a world where women and girls are empowered and stay empowered would be my wish for the world.
