LISA M. LUGO BLOG POST #5/14

"What did it matter to me whether she had slept with anyone or not for the last five years? What possible difference could it make at this moment? Now was now, and the past and the future were unimportant"





A lot of women feel sterotyped if they do not follow the "lady like code" society has for us: you cannot sleep with a lot of men (even if it the same amount as guy's), you cannot look drunk or else it makes you seem like an "easy catch" or perhaps you cannot openly talk about your intimate life because that will mean you are slut. Personally, at the end of the day we are all humans that share the same needs regardless of our gender. If we all live by what others say, we might as well never take initiative to do anything for ourselves. Therefore, I choose the picture USA Illinois. Calumet City, by Robert Capa because it shows the opposite behavior ladies are expected to have in public. I think women deserve to have fun, as much as guys do, maybe even more considering all the things we biologically face. So if it means taking shots and dancing on top of a table, make the best of it.

  1. I LOVE YOUR MIND LISA! I also love you so very much and wish the very best for your life and decisions you make. Spirituality supercedes all knowledge. Once one taps into the inner gushing spring of spirituality in themselves, then life begins. The biggest war takes place within ourselves.
