across the universe

so i was watching it, well, am watching the end again because my mam dearest missed the end. i always feel so sad when (SPOILERS!) the little boy dies and when strawberry fields forever is playing. I get sad. Yes. So... had a long day today. (then again, the movie has been out for ages, so spoiler period is over)..

Worked at the office all morning, did errand things, came home and felt tired. then ma got back and my cursing the uni that wholemeal goes to because hes got so much on his plate. occasionally i felt terrible for not being there to support him properly.. but I try my best here and i know that our relationship is much better than some of those who have the luxury of being the same country, the same city, the same neighborhood, street or whatever.

Will have a long busy week. It sucks looking at my week planner and going "oh my god. i have to meet my friend to discuss work? Why is this happening so early?" but i cant help it. i got so angry today at all the people in suva who dont care about others, who dont care about the state of our country and those who dont want to know about the struggles of the voiceless, the oppressed, the tired. We build stereotypes in our head. we tell ourselves that "women dont have interest in media". Thats all nonsense. What women talked herself down? We shouldnt pity her, but try to raise her up. She was taught to be this way by some twisted society. We should try to make the media more accessible for her, in a format that she would understand because of the limitations forced on her by her situation. we shouldnt give up, put her in a box and forget about her. its because of this terrible box putting that our poor country is the way it is. It seems that we're too lazy to think otherwise, do the honorable thing, to do the right thing.

Who am i to talk? Just some stupid teenager, waiting for revolt, an uprising. We sit and complain about the state that we're in, but do nothing. We dont think of the solution. We ponder the problem and never try to do anything to solve it ourselves. what example are we setting?
