Didn't know this was inside of me

I was canvassing for Clinton yesterday when tears formed. I realized that we may finally see a female President and that I was doing my own very small part. I remember in first grade asking why couldn't I write my very first book report about a woman and the answer was because there weren't any woman Presidents. I got to write instead about Susan B. Anthony. This is an amazing dream about to become reality.

Also, a bunch of neighborhood kids were taunting us. The boys all said they were Sanders supporters but the youngest was a little girl. She wanted Hillary!

Let's enjoy this and get to work.

work through some issues I didn't understand and better come to peace with myself, and not to accept less than I deserve or have earned. Part of being a woman is being underestimated; and it helped me to see that things effecting me weren't really about me, because I saw that they were happening to her too. I stand a little taller and it would be wonderful to see that fewer little girls are forced to be so much less than they are for nothing but propping up some sad little mens' egos. It's nice to think little girls can be more themselves and maybe be put down less.
