I'M NO FEMINIST BUT I WRITE IN HOT PINK

I could not declare myself a Feminist. 
I don't really know what truly makes one...or not. 
In fact, I think I kind of dislike categorizing myself--or any individual for that matter-- in "groups", "leagues", "clubs", "unions", etc.  
Is there really a point?  


However, i did pick a hot pink font.


I like to think of myself as a human being.  I have likes and dislikes, I can share certain beliefs, certain ideas, maybe even follow a few ideologies, movements.  But I wouldn't (couldn't) consider myself _______ (fill in the blank what you like, i.e.: feminist)


This lady below does speak of feminism, but i like to consider her message to be one that transcends such a term.  I believe she speaks of passion, of hope, of opportunity.  
For me there is no race, no competition, between men and women.  Why think of war, conflict and ultimately elimination?  Why not think of peace, collaboration and creation? 


Flip the tortilla around! 
(i'm mixing saying here: flip the coin around/dar vuelta la tortilla). 


I can't help feeling proud of Isabel Allende's words.  I identify, I relate, I...feel proud of her Chilean voice. 
This is another example of how a change/transformation is needed...and happening! 
It speaks of humanity, of our potential, of opportunity (i'm repeating myself, i know).  There is so much ambition, ego and violence ruling--in our neighborhood and beyond.  
Let's give ourselves a chance.  


Let's work on making this an almost perfect world. 


Love & Light.
Fía.
