I dream about a world where a woman doesn't wish she had her brother or husband or friend with her, as she walks down the dark street on the way to her home. A world where the family doesn't ask the thirty year old about marriage, everytime they have dinner together. A world where seats reserved for women on the public transport are a thing of history. A world where actions are not linked with attributes. A world where the hymen is just a part of the female anatomy, that nobody even knows the use of, and honestly, nobody cares. A world where the five year old is taught to not hit anyone, rather than to not hit girls. A world where the kiddo isn't laughed at for saying he's gonna become the President of the most powerful nation. A world where your sexual preferences aren't looked down upon, a world where it's okay to love meat and also to go vegan. I dream about a world where you don't teach your kids to respect the elders, rather respect everyone. A world where I change myself only for me. A world where schools aren't factories, making us stand in straight lines, study the same subjects, and wear the same clothes, but the biggest platforms of self expression that a child will ever get, a chance to discover what your abilities are, and more importantly, to discover what your choices are. I dream about a world where uniformity isn't a necessity, a world where stress only inspires. A world where it's okay to not belong to any country, but keep moving, despite being born in one. A world where no teen faces low self esteem, and a world where the young aren't afraid to love. I dream about a world where I make choices, only for me, and not because I'm made to, and a world where I can take full responsibility for the outcomes of my life. I dream about a world, where you and I know ourselves perfectly, inside out.
